Abstract: Methods and apparatus for milking a milk-producing animal, in particular a cow, that set a target milk quantity which is lower than a possible expected milk quantity, carry out the milking process, determine the milked quantity and compares the milked quantity with the target milk quantity, and terminate milking when the milked quantity corresponds substantially to the target milk quantity.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for milking a milk-producing animal, in particular a cow. According to this method, a target milk quantity which is lower than a possible expected milk quantity is determined. The milking process is carried out. During milking, the milked quantity is determined. The milked quantity is compared with the target milk quantity. Milking is terminated when the milked quantity corresponds substantially to the target milk quantity.

Abstract: The invention provides a process for remediation of sites contaminated with metals such as former industrial sites and mines. In particular the invention provides a process for site remediation comprising the steps of: (a) adding metal-binding particles to a site containing one or more metal contaminants such that at least some of the one or metal contaminants are sequestered by the particles, and (b) populating the site with plants. The use of the particles of the present invention in association with plants, and microbiota associated with the plant roots can achieve sustainable phytostabilization of contaminated sites.
