Construction for milking of animals

A method of automatically adjusting the speed of a movable floor on which animals to milked are located in milking spaces, said method comprising of the steps of:

• attaching each animal to a milking unit when the respective animal is located in an attachment zone having boundaries, said attachment zone being stationary relative to the movable floor;
• and
• adjusting automatically the speed of the movable floor based on an attachment parameter representing a positional status of animals being attached to milking units in the attachment zone, wherein
• the attachment parameter is determined by the position of the animal which was latest attached to a milking unit relative to the boundaries of the attachment zone.

A construction including an implement for milking animals, the implement comprising:

• a movable floor including multiple milking spaces, each said milking space including a milking unit;
• and
• an automatically operative adjusting mechanism for adjusting the speed of the movable floor based on an estimated milking time of the animals which are on the movable floor and are attached to the milking units, said implement further comprising:
• at least one attachment sensor for indicating whether an animal has been attached to a milking unit;
• a control unit receiving signals from the at least one attachment sensor, and
• an attachment zone being defined between
• a point of entry onto the movable floor and a second point,
• said adjusting mechanism for adjusting the speed of the movable floor being further operable for adjusting the speed of the movable floor based on an attachment parameter derived by the control unit from signals received from the at least one an attachment sensor,
• said attachment parameter representing a positional status of the animal which was latest attached to a milking unit in the attachment zone.
