Numerous important factors are evaluated as a system when RMB is designed, but it is usually difficult to quantify how consideration of these factors may affect production or income. There is also a wide diversity among farmers and local conditions, therefore the optimal layout may differ among farms. However, the actual capacity performance) of each facility (such as robot, forage lane, concentrate feeder) in the robotic milking barn (RMB) depends on cow access (animal behaviour), barn design, farm routine and management practices. These two conflicting forces (which are to be optimised) should be incorporated into management practices and physical layout. The entire system (barn design, feeding and cow-traffic routines, management practices) should encourage 'voluntary milking', i.e., it should ensure sufficiently frequent visits of the cow to the robot.Īn optimal layout should balance animal welfare, on the one hand, and the economic need for high facility utilisation, on the other hand. To integrate a milking robot the barn should be redesigned according to the robotic milking concept. The traditional barn design is a milking parlour oriented.
