An implement for automatically milking an animal.

摘要

An implement for automatically milking an animal comprises a milking robot (5) with a carrier member (33) adapted to carry a number of teat cups (6) which are automatically connectable to the teats of the udder of an animal. When the milk flow in a teat cup (6) has stopped or has fallen below to a predetermined value, a computer (14) activates the reconnection of the teat cups (6) to the carrier member (33) simultaneously or substantially simultaneously with the stopping of any vacuum in the teat cup (6). <IMAGE>
