Abstract

Moving cows to a new milking facility, whether conventional or robotic, can be stressful and disruptive to the performance of any herd cows. Unless the appropriate steps are taken to accustom cows to the new facility and train personnel to use it correctly, the result may be impaired milking time management and aggravation of underlying subclinical mastitis problems. Where the change is from milking in a conventional parlour to an automated system, the challenge of change is even greater. In addition to the potentially stressful period of training, for both cows and personnel, milking no longer occurs at predetermined times and regular intervals. Milking frequency depends on management strategies relating to housing and feeding together with their effects on the willingness of cows to visit the milking station
