ABSTRACT:
A system for automatically milking animals, such as cows, by a milking robot which emplaces teat cups on the teats of the animal, wherein the milking of the animal commences for a predetermined short length of time or for a short period of time that it takes for a sensor to determine that foremilking of the animal has been completed. The foremilk is diverted from the milking conduit and the teat cups are removed, cleaned and replaced on the teats of the animal following foremilking, after which the conventional automatic milking of the animal is completed.
