The application of milking cups to cow teats has been identified as a significant component of net manual labour on the commercial dairy farm. Several automatic milking systems (AMS) are available commercially, however such commercial AMS have low capacity (typically 7.5 cows/unit/hr) and speed of …

Effects of stocking rate and supplementation on pasture utilization, cow performance, and rumen environment in a pasture-based and automatic milking system
Integration of automatic milking systems (AMS) into Midwestern pasture-based systems has been suggested as an alternative low cost and labor efficient dairy system, but proper integration of this technology into a pasture-based dairy system is not well understood. The objective of this thesis was …

USE OF ON-FARM DATA AND MILK LEUCOCYTE COMPONENTS FOR MONITORING THE HEALTH OF DAIRY COWS
… in additional expenses. In the first experiment, milking (e.g. milk production, milking flows) and behavioral (e.g. lying time, number of steps, lying bouts) data were collected for one year, using only on-farm sensors (Afimilk) in one farm of Northern Italy. From the starting dataset, 3459 daily …
