The effect of concentrate allocation on traffic and milk production of pasture-based cows milked by an automatic milking system
Increased economic, societal and environmental challenges facing agriculture are leading to a greater focus on effective way to combine grazing and automatic milking systems (AMS). One of the fundamental aspects of robotic milking is cows’ traffic to the AMS. Numerous studies have identified feed pr...
