The invention relates to a method of milking animals which uses an implement
having a moveable floor on which the animals are milked in milking spaces. The
animals enter and exit the floor via automatic gates. The invention involves automatic
adjustment of the speed to the moveable floor first, on an estimated milking time
of the animals presently in a milk flow mode, i.e. attached to a milking unit and
second whether milking units have been attached to the animals before leaving an
attachment zone, where the milking units are attached to the animals, either manually
or automatically by a robot. The speed of the movable floor is primarily adjusted
with the aim at optimizing the occupancy rate of the implement for milking animals
with respect to the first condition. The second condition places constraint on
when a speed increase is permitted.
