摘要: The milking robot is more than a tool to relieve the farmer of substantial daily work associated with process. Current technologies offer possibility increasing production efficiency by combining individual and feeding strategies. Although can be integrated into any type dairy its use differs from one another. To benefit not just as replacement for parlour but management appliance should first outline his strategic planning according needs available facilities. On horizon, considerations comprise concentrates rationing, grazing (if it exists or without indoor forage rationing), herd size frequency, facilities labour. implemented controlled at both operational performance levels. Continuous evaluation cows' incorporated group regime. on-line control ensures that planned regime implemented. implementation in possible using three functions: allocation cow-traffic. selects goals methods. degree system automation individuality will determine these operate basic level replacing milkers only, up fully-automatic milking, cow traffic routine minimal involvement farmer.
