ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for milking animals, such as cows, which comprises a milking compartment including a milking robot for automatically connecting teat cups to the teats of an animal to be milked in the compartment and automatically milking the animal. The apparatus is additionally provided with a milk container for receiving the milk from the animal. In at least one milk line and preferably in each of the milk lines, an auxiliary reservoir is disposed between the teat cups and the milk container. A fixed quantity of milk, in particular the foremilk, usually obtained at the commencement of the milking process, is collected in the auxiliary reservoir. Milk obtained thereafter is primarily guided to the milk container.
