Introduction to robotic milking....
GM Liberty AMS
By taking the time to look at the following
links, you can get a good idea of the way robotic milking has developed so far.
They go into much more detail than I can, as the market place in the United
Kingdom is still in it's infant stage, we have not got the experience of the
systems like the Scandinavians have, but the technology is now becoming
accepted as being the way forward.
If you were to go back to your Grandfathers day,
I should imagine the way of thinking towards 'machine milking' was as strange an
idea as milking the cows by robot in our day.
The way forward would seem to be using a robotic
system to milk your cows, as quality Herdsmen/women are becoming fewer and far
between, some of the younger generation of herdsmen not having the total
devotion to their work as older hands used to, but will the robotic system mean
the end of another skilled trade?
