A METHOD OF STIMULATING THE TEATS OF THE UDDER OF AN ANIMAL, A PULSATOR, AND A METHOD OF CHECKING THE MILKING PROCESS ON THE BASIS OF THE PULSATION VACUUM

摘要

A method of stimulating the teats of the udder of an animal. The method comprises the step of determining the dead milking time per udder or per quarter during a number of milkings and of checking, on the basis of these historical data, whether a respective quarter has to be pre-stimulated and, if so, during what period of time. A pulsator controlled by triphasy, making it possible to adapt the suction-rest ratio of the pulsator at quarter level on the basis of the milk flow profile of the respective udder quarter.
