A method for serving animals, such as milking dairy animals, allowed to go loose in an enclosed area, with animal stalls with a robot, said stalls having entrance (6) and exit (7) gates being controlled by a control means for being opened and/or closed. The invention also refers to an appara-tus for serving animals, using the in-vented method. The invention im-proves the known method and appara-tus to achieve an increased efficiency by arranging a service area (3) such as to comprise at least three stationary animal stalls (4), placing the animal stalls (4) around a robot (5) to form a central robot inner area, and arranging a displaceable service and/or milking robot (5) in said inner area, said robot (5) being associated with said control means and being capable of moving to and serving each one of the animal stalls (4). The efficiency is further in-creased by arranging a strolling area between the outer border (2) of the en-closed area (10) and the central robot area with animal stalls (4) and dividing said strolling area (10) into subareas in various ways by the use of separation means (9, 11) which also may com-prise controlled one-way passing gates (14) for the animals.

L'invention concerne un procédé permettant de soigner des animaux, notamment des animaux producteurs de lait, pouvant se déplacer dans une zone enclose, pourvue de stalles pour animaux, ces stalles possédant une grille d'entrée (6) et une grille de sortie (7) commandées par des moyens de commande, afin d'être ouverte et/ou fermée. L'invention concerne également un procédé et un appareil permettant de soigner des animaux à l'aide de ladite invention. Cette invention améliore le procédé et l'appareil connus afin d'obtenir une plus grande efficacité, par agencement d'une zone de service (3) de sorte qu'elle comprenne au moins trois stalles fixes pour animaux (4), par placement de stalles pour animaux(4) autour d'un robot (5) afin de former une zone intérieure centrale de robot, et d'y placer un robot (5) mobile de traite et/ou de service, ledit robot (5) étant associé à des moyens de commande, et étant capable de se déplacer, et de servir chacune des stalles (4) pour animaux. L'efficacité est encore améliorée par agencement d'une zone de promenade entre la limite extérieure (2) de la zone enclose (10), et la zone centrale de robot dotée de stalles (4) pour animaux, et par séparation de la zone de promenade (10) en sous-zones de différents types, à l'aide de moyens de séparation (9, 11) qui peuvent également comprendre des grilles de passage (14) unidirectionnel commandées.
