Abstract: A milking machine, which fastens teat cup liners R to teats B of a cow and repeats vacuum suction and quiescence for milking the cow, includes 1/f fluctuation signal generation module unit 2 for generating a 1/f fluctuation signal Ss based on the biorhythm of the cow and a control unit 3 for changing the control amount during milking, for instance, the number of pulses per unit time of a pulse control signal Sc for switching the suction and the quiescence, the duty ratio of the pulse control signal Sc, or the magnitude of the negative pressure corresponding to the 1/f fluctuation signal Ss.

Abstract: A device which measures the amount of milk which has been milked by a combination of a swinging member 2 and a tank 5; and a weight balance section, thereby enhancing accuracy in measurement as well as reducing in size the device. A measuring method for total milk amount by using the measuring device and by measuring the amount of milk which is filled in the tank 5 and the amount of milk which does not flow into the tank 5 at the time of discharging with the rotational cycles of the swinging member 2 to thereby achieve a higher precision.
