Abstract

See full text

A method for milking a dairy animal by means of a robotic milking device containing milking cups, a teat position-determining device, a robot arm in a rest position that carries all milking cups and attaches these to the teats, and a control unit. The dairy animal is milked at an intended milking frequency. The method involves determining if the distance between two teats of the dairy animal is greater than a first threshold distance by means of the teat position-determining device. If the distance is at most equal to the first threshold distance, a usual attachment and milking step is performed. If the distance is greater than the first threshold distance, a modified milking step is performed. A corresponding device is also provided. Milking of the second teat only takes place when the udder has already shrunk, and the teats are closer together as a result.
