ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a method of milking animals which uses an implement having a moveable floor on which the animals are milked in milking spaces. The animals enter and exit the floor via automatic gates. The invention involves automatic adjustment of the speed to the moveable floor first, on an estimated milking time of the animals presently in a milk flow mode, i.e. attached to a milking unit and second whether milking units have been attached to the animals before leaving an attachment zone, where the milking units are attached to the animals, either manually or automatically by a robot. The speed of the movable floor is primarily adjusted with the aim at optimizing the occupancy rate of the implement for milking animals with respect to the first condition. The second condition places constraint on when a speed increase is permitted.
