Development of an innovative, technology-based analysis tool to facilitate animal-friendly milking
The optimal adjustment and regular review of the function, setting and equipment of milking systems and knowledge about their effect on udder health and milk production have a direct impact on the welfare and health of animals. The project is focused on developing and evaluating a sound analysis tool to support farmers in identifying the weaknesses of milking systems. The OG's goal is to develop an innovative, technology-based analysis tool - electronic analysis tool, e.g. for smartphones or iPads- to highlight weaknesses in milking systems through a bottom-up process, in conjunction with those involved in the OG. This can then be used by everyone to comprehensively assess milking systems, produce a weakness analysis and use this to derive practical measures for action that can be implemented directly. The analysis tool is to enable standardized, practical data acquisition and also to support the farmer in the interpretation and evaluation of the assessed milking system.
Problems during milking can be caused by the settings of the technology, structural conditions, the technical equipment or the herd. Humans themselves are at the forefront here and are very often both the cause and the key to solving milking problems.
There is a need for training for milking staff in handling technology and animals, in carrying out milking routines and in milking hygiene and udder health.
Even today, 60 cows per hour and worker is still a valid target figure for group milking parlours. The organisation of work can be optimised by collecting individual farm data. For farm managers, analysing working times and workflows provides important information on which routine tasks can actually be carried out with the planned personnel.
Milking time tests (vacuum measurements during milking) should be linked to other information such as teat bonitation, animal behaviour and residual milk quantity in the udder wherever possible. The measurement dat
