A more effective method of automatically milking animals in an automatic milking facility is disclosed. The method includes the steps of (i) assigning a respective threshold value (t.v.) to each of the udder quarters (1st u.q.; 2nd u.q.; 3rd u.q.; 4th u.q.) of an animal to be milked indicating when the milking of the corresponding udder quarter is to be ended; (ii) measuring the milk flow from each udder quarter of said animal during milking; and (iv) ending the milking of an udder quarter of the animal (end1; end2; end3; end4) in dependence on the measured milk flow from that udder quarter reaches the corresponding threshold value. According to the invention at least the threshold value for the udder quarter (4th u.q.) of said animal, for which the ending of milking very last remains, is raised (t.v.115%; t.v.inf; t.v.(t); t.v.eo) subsequently to the very first ending of milking of an udder quarter of said animal, to thereby shorten the total milking time (tmt) of the animal, and thus more rapidly freeing milking capacity of the milking facility to be used for the milking of a further animal.

L'invention concerne un procédé plus efficace de traite automatique d'animaux dans une installation de traite automatique. Ce procédé consiste à : (a) attribuer un seuil respectif (t.v.) à chacun des pis (1er u.q. ; 2ème u.q.; 3ème u.q.; 4ème u.q.) de l'animal à traire indiquant la fin prévue de la traite du pis correspondant, (b) mesurer le débit de lait de chacun des pis de l'animal au cours de la traite; et (c) arrêter la traite d'un pis donné de l'animal (end1; end2; end3; end4) si le débit de lait mesuré dans ce pis correspond au seuil. Selon l'invention, au moins la valeur seuil du pis (4ème u.q.) de l'animal, pour lequel la traite n'est pas encore terminée, est augmentée (t.v.¿115 %?; t.v.¿inf?; t.v.(t); t.v.¿eo?) sensiblement par rapport à la première fin de traite d'un des pis de l'animal, de manière à réduire le temps de traite total (tmt) de l'animal, et libérer par conséquent la capacité de l'installation de traite pour traire un autre animal.
