Abstract:
Application of automatic technologies is a growing trend in the livestock industry and plays an important rolein the future prospects. The automatic systems most commonly used in animal production concern the various objectives (Cattaneo, 2009) which include automatic identification, drafting, feeding, milking, detection of estrus, detection of births and many other farm operations. Reduced labor demand and better social circumstances for the dairy farmers are the attractive benefits of Automated Milking Systems (AMS). Other potential benefits are improved animal health and well-being and increased milk yields.
