Byre, in particular for dairy cattle, comprising several areas to be accessed by individual animal after identification

摘要

The cows (2) can move freely inside a first unit (1) which can be equipped with individual boxes (3) and feeding devices (5). The feeding unit can be combined with a conveyor belt (6) for the animals (2) to stand on slowly moving in order to allow a preprogrammed time for the consumption of the food. A door (8), leading into the milking parlor (10) which can be equipped with milking robots, opens only when the animal (2) is identified by a suitable device (9) as one to be milked at this specific time. There are various slightly differing versions of the arrangement according to the specific needs.
