Abstract

See full text

In a milking process the animal is stimulated during a stimulation phase (I) for initiating the animal to let down milk in the udder, while a relatively small milk flow is achieved. During a subsequent main milking phase (II) the animal is treated to eject a relatively large milk flow. The stimulation phase is ended and the main milking phase is started when at least one monitored milking variable reaches a predetermined value. According to the invention the milking variable relates to the milk quantity extracted from the animal. Further milking variables may be monitored such as milk flow and the time of the stimulation phase, so that the stimulation phase is ended when any of the monitored milking variables reaches a predetermined value. Hereby the duration of the stimulation phase can be adapted to the individual needs of the animals.
