Summary
The purpose of the project is an improvement of the milking process with the development of an online-system for optimizing and for an animial-specific control of that process. Further, the teat-cup and its peripheral devices should be re-constructed. During these approaches the efficiency of the milking process should be improved. Moreover, the whole milking process should be organized more udder friendly and adapted to the individual animal. A modularly construted system should control the milking process as well as the milk quality. Quarter flow based sensor systems analyze and control the technical parameters of the milking process. By means of the re-construction of the teat-cup, both functions of the teat-cup, "milking" and "holding", should be controllable independently. Furthermore, by the help of the animal-individual and the quarter wise treatment of the cow with flow related vacuum application, the strain on the teat tissue will be reducted. With these innovations, it is possible to improve the animal health and as a result of that to increase the lifetime of cows, the milk quality and the economic efficiency of the milk production.
