Milk conveyer device

A milk conveyer device for a milking arrangement including:

• a milk storage reservoir;
• at least one milking unit comprising a milking attachment for attaching to an animal to be milked;
• a main milk conduit, coupled to the milking attachment and the milk storage reservoir, for conveying milk from the milking attachment to the storage reservoir;
• the milk conveyer device further comprising:
• an analysis element for analyzing at least one selected characteristic of an analysis milk sample generated from a milk analysis quantity;
• at least one milk sample unit comprising a sample element for extracting sample milk quantities from the milk of the main milk conduit;
• a sample reservoir coupled to the sample element for collecting the sample milk quantities to generate the milk analysis quantity;
• an analysis conduit, coupled to the sample reservoir and operable to be coupled to the analysis element, for conveying the milk analysis quantity from the sample reservoir to the analysis element;
• and
• wherein the sample reservoir comprises:
• an outlet valve coupled to the analysis conduit,
• a quantity sensor for detecting a level of the milk analysis quantity remaining in the sample reservoir, and
• a dynamic controller for controlling the outlet valve in response to an output of the quantity sensor,
• wherein a flow of at least one milk analysis quantity in the analysis conduit has a flow profile comprising a higher flow rate in an earlier time period and a lower flow rate in a later time period.
