Abstract
An animal-milking system exceptionally suitable for the milking of large herds based on an animal-milking carrousel that can be configured to operate without human intervention. A rotating platform with animal-milking stalls disposed around the edge of the platform is provided. A teat-cup attaching area, equipped with one or more teat-cup attaching robots, is located so as to attach teat-cups to animals confined in milking stalls when the animals are brought into proximity with the robots. By allowing a plurality of animals to board the carrousel simultaneously, and by extending the time each stall is available for boarding, efficient use of the teat-cup attaching robots is possible. Using existing technologies a carrousel with 32 stalls can automatically milk a herd of more than 1100 animals.
