The world‘s first fully automated milking rotary AMR™ combines the advantages of fully automatic milking in the VMS™ single box and the conventional rotary milking. So the first modular AMR™ automates udder preparation, attaching the milk cups and the teat dipping/ -spraying in a rotary milking system. Through three different robot modules – preparation and cupping module in double- the individual steps are carried out. With the current state of technology can be automatically milked per hour to 90 cows.

This paper investigates the effects of fully automated milking system to the milk quality and cow behavior.

When feeding high quality silage to heifers from the age of two, there is a risk of energy oversupply. Depending on the feeding value or scarce availability of silage or corn silage diets with high proportions of straw is often incorporated. For an energetically standardized young cattle supply of straw proportion can be more than 20 % of dry matter. But with an increasing proportion of straw leave the animals increasingly the straw on the feeding barn. This can also be observed in limited feeding systems and a multi-day leave the straw in the manger is to be rejected from feeding hygienic point of view. The calculated energy and nutrient intake does not match the recorded. For this reason, it was investigated whether the grinding of straw with the straw mill selective feeding significantly limits.

This paper presents a research of a controlled nitrogen application on 10 ha grassland. The experiment consists of 2 years of periodical application of manure and mineral fertilizer. Before each cutting of the grass the surface is scanned with a N-sensor.

The paper researches the impact of thermal treatment on the nutritional value of pea, lupine and flax seeds using microwaves technology.
