A method of and a device for automatically milking an animal

A device for automatically milking an animal having at least two udder quarters, the device comprising:

• at least two teat cups to be connected to teats of respective ones of the udder quarters;
• a milking unit for performing the milking of the udder quarters with a milking intensity that is determined by at least one milking process parameter with a determined value;
• a control device for controlling the milking intensity per udder quarter, the milking unit being controllable by means of the control device in-such a-way that the milking-of the udder quarters takes place at least partially simultaneously;
• and
• at least one milking parameter meter for determining, during milking, per udder quarter a value of a milking parameter of the milk obtained from the relevant udder quarter, the milking parameter meter being connectable to the control device for supplying to the control device data in relation to the value of the milking parameter;
• wherein the control device controls the milking intensity with the aid of the determined value of the milking parameter, during at least a part of the milking of each of the udder quarters in such a way that all of the udder quarters will be milked-out according to a predetermined chronological order.

• at least one milking parameter meter for determining, during milking, per udder quarter a value of a milking parameter of milk obtained from the respective udder quarter;
• and
• a control device which receives data relating to the value of the respective milking parameters and controls the milking unit to individually provide a given milking intensity per udder quarter during at least a part of the milking of each udder quarter in such a way that all of the udder quarters will be milked-out according to a predetermined chronological order.
