  • Patent number: 10874085
    Abstract: A urine collection device for a cow, comprising a positioner, a urine container coupled to positioner, a sensor for detecting a cow position, a stimulator for stimulating a stimulation region of a cow, wherein stimulation region is ventral with respect to a vulva of a cow, and a controller, wherein the controller is functionally coupled to the sensor for receiving a position of the cow. The controller is configured for controlling the position the stimulator at the stimulation region for stimulating the cow when a cow is positioned within a predefined range. When stimulation starts an urination, the positioner positions the urine container from a storage position to a working position for receiving a subsequent flow of urine from the stimulated cow.

  • Patent number: 8397671
    Abstract: The invention relates to a milking device for milking animals, the required vacuum being, for example, generated by generating compressed air using a compressor and passing said compressed air through the system, the compressed air creating a vacuum at all required locations by means of the Venturi system. Because this vacuum differs at the various locations, the reduced pressure can be regulated precisely and adapted as required.
