Labour research on automatic milking with a human-controlled cow traffic

摘要: A calculation model for a task-time program was designed the determination of labour requirement milking cows with robot and using different working methods. Task times were derived from observations on commercial farms where automatic combined human-controlled cow traffic an experimental farm computer-controlled traffic. Based these work studies, jobs methods 5 grassland strategies. 17 variants quantified by means case-study. Calculations showed that method applied during whole year frequency 3 day resulted in physical savings (38%). However, larger reduction (66%). The consequences pasturing milking, are discussed.
