Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a milking parlor and a method for milking and relates in particular to measures for improving the hygiene of a milking parlor.
  • a milking parlor usually has a lounge area in which the animal to be milked stays while milking. Usually, several such residence areas in the form of milking stalls are formed behind one another or next to one another on the milking parlor. Separated from this, usually by a gate, there is usually a pit in which the user of the milking parlor stops when milking.
  • the animals to be milked when entering the milking parlor, carry off any adhering dirt on the legs, which impairs the hygiene of the milking parlor. Also, the animals to be milked tend to kiss or urinate in the milking facility. Accordingly, the milking parlor must be cleaned of these soils at regular intervals.
  • DE 102 57 286 proposes a fluorous soil for livestock husbandry with Ausmistsystem, in which the fluoride floor has a substantially closed surface and the Ausmistsystem at least one resting on the fluoride floor and on this reciprocating Ausmistschieber. Furthermore, an irrigation system integrated in the soil is provided for moistening the fluoride bottom surface. With this proposal, a drying of feces and contamination on the ground to be prevented.
  • the system is not suitable for milking parlors, since on the one hand the animals can not escape the reciprocable pusher and, moreover, the pusher requires guidance grooves in the bottom which are undesirable in view of the hygienic requirements to be complied with at a milking parlor.
  • the slider can not be used to carry away the contamination, and in particular the faeces and bacteria, to a degree that would be necessary at a milking parlor.
  • the irrigation system must be laboriously laid for the most even possible application of water with many pipes and nozzles.
  • a milking parlor with a spray head which is provided at the bottom in the region of the hind legs of the animal and under the udder of the animal to be milked.
  • This spray head is actuated prior to the anvil to direct a spray of disinfecting liquid against the udder of the animal to be milked.
  • the device known from this prior art is not suitable for cleaning the soil from contamination, especially from contamination by killing.
  • This contaminant is usually located at a location behind it on the ground, i. H. behind the hind legs of the animal to be milked.
  • the present invention is based on the problem of providing a milking parlor and a method for milking, by means of which the hygienic conditions at the milking parlor can be improved.
  • the present invention provides a milking parlor having the features of claim 1.
  • This differs from the generally known milking parlors in that means are associated with the floor of the occupied area of the animal to be milked for lifting soil adhering to the soil and means for generating a directed flow of soil contamination.
  • means are associated with the floor of the occupied area of the animal to be milked for lifting soil adhering to the soil and means for generating a directed flow of soil contamination.
  • Such means may be hydraulic, mechanical or pneumatic means.
  • the means serve to at least partially dissolve contaminant adhering to the soil from the soil, at least in the area of the soil that is particularly soiled by fouling, which is usually located behind the hind legs of the animal to be milked when staying in the milking parlor.
  • the milking parlor according to the invention comprises means for producing a directed flow on the floor. These means generate a flow substantially parallel to the surface of the soil and promote contamination by a directed flow on the surface. Also, the directional flow may promote and / or assist in removing the contaminant from the soil surface.
  • the means for generating a directed flow is located at the pit side edge of the soil.
  • the contamination is carried away from the user or a robot.
  • the means for generating a directed flow is preferably formed by a liquid nozzle which is directed to the bottom of the residence area. Particularly preferably, this nozzle is integrally formed as part of the so-called pit edge.
  • the pit finished edge is a prefabricated component, which is usually supplied by the milking parlor manufacturer with the milking system and installed in the on-site construction of a milking parlor, in particular poured into concrete.
  • the pit edge usually dominates the bottom of the residence area with a sloping out in the direction of the pit legs, which is particularly suitable for the arrangement of the aforementioned fluid nozzles, and are regularly arranged on the clamping and holding elements for the guidance and attachment of parts of the milking parlor, the can be reached by the milker, since the pit edge limits the pit side edge of the occupied area.
  • a gutter is provided for draining the contamination on the milking parlor.
  • baffle element is preferably arranged. This baffle overhangs the gutter and serves to avoid overshooting the directional flow beyond the gutter. This baffle element is preferably formed by the outer side wall of the milking parlor which delimits the area of residence.
  • outlet openings are preferably provided for cleaning fluid exiting from the bottom under pressure.
  • these exit openings are preferably not formed uniformly distributed over the bottom of the residence area.
  • the aforementioned outlet openings are connected to a pressure source for exiting from the ground cleaning and / or disinfecting liquid. Thereafter, the lifting of the contaminant takes place through the outlet openings. In addition, the soil can be disinfected after lifting the contaminant.
  • the outlet openings are preferably provided so that after milking a specific animal at the milking parlor and before the arrival of the further animal to be milked at the milking parlor, a disinfecting film is applied to the floor so that transmission of germs into the faeces, urine or Milk of the previous animal may be included, on the next following animal is avoided. With this measure, the possibility of The ability to milk each individual animal on a clean and disinfected milking parlor has been improved, thereby better accommodating the hygienic requirements placed on the herd.
  • the aforementioned, provided in the bottom outlet openings are selectively connectable with a reservoir for cleaning fluid, for example, standing under line pressure standing water, and a reservoir for disinfecting liquid.
  • corresponding supply lines can be provided below the bottom, which can be connected via a switchable valve to the outlet openings.
  • the control of the valve is preferably via the control of the milking parlor and can, for example, in response to actuations of the milking or ⁇ ffner upright. Closing functions of access to the milking parlor take place. With a view to stress-free milking as possible, it is preferable to start the cleaning only after leaving the previous animal and to finish the disinfection before the next following animal enters the milking parlor.
  • the above-mentioned pressure source for disinfecting or cleaning fluid and the outlet openings are preferably matched to one another such that upon activation of the pressure source, the cleaning fluid emerges from the outlet openings essentially without being sprayed off from the bottom.
  • the cleaning liquid emerges from the floor in a substantially film-like manner, perpendicular to the surface of the floor, without, however, being spread or sprayed uncontrollably in the area of the milking parlor by means of spraying.
  • the surface of the bottom is preferably formed of a porous material which forms microchannels in the upper soil layer.
  • microchannels in the context of the present invention in particular those flow passages are understood that have an effective cross section of 10 microns to 1500 microns.
  • these can be created in a simple and economical manner and uniformly distributed over a large area, by virtue of the fact that the porous material is a sintered material. It has been shown that not only a sintered metal as a porous material, but also a plastic as a sintered material meets the practical requirements and in particular withstands the mechanical stress of the animals to be milked.
  • the microchannels of the upper soil layer communicate with at least one supply line integrated into the ground. This is preferably poured during the casting of the residence area forming pedestal.
  • the porous surface of the soil is applied to a water-impermeable intermediate layer. Only below the intermediate layer is a non-specific material, which serves only for the construction of the milking parlor or the pedestal, such as concrete.
  • porous structure described above which preferably forms the outlet openings, is provided according to a preferred development of the present invention distributed over the entire surface of the occupied area. Nevertheless, in the area of the hind legs of the animals to be milked, additional outlet openings, i. be provided with a higher number of microchannels porosity. Furthermore, special agents can be incorporated in the surface at these locations, which allow effective cleaning and removal of feces. Thus, in particular, sensors for detecting soil contamination can be integrated there, which detect the presence of feces, for example by heat sensors or optical sensors, and pass on corresponding signals to a control device which controls the cleaning process in a suitable manner.
  • the control can be a demand control, ie depending on the degree of Moreover, in certain phases of a milking run of an animal to be milked, the control can also activate the means for lifting soil adhering to the soil and / or the directional flow generating means.
  • a milking run is understood as a time interval, which passes between entering the milking parlor and leaving a particular animal. The various phases of this interval, such as the opening of gates and the arrival of an animal at the milking stall, are now regularly automatically detected and entered into a herd management system which is capable of To identify the animals and to control the amount of milk produced by a particular animal and the amount of food added to the animal during milking.
  • the corresponding signals from the herd management system can also be used for phase-specific cleaning of the area of residence So it should be started with the cleaning when the animals leave the milking stall, ie, for example, a signal indicating the opening of the gate is detected by the herd management system
