GálikKatedra Mechanizácie Zivocíšnej a potravinárskej výroby,Mechanizacná Fakulta, Slovenská Pol<strong>no</strong>hospodárska Univerzita,Kalvária 3, 949 76 <strong>Nitra</strong>, Slovak RepublicE-mail: s.kovac@mech.uniag.skThe most represented trend is characterized by construction of milkingunit, quality of used materials increase of transport ways with an aim ofvacuum stability and with high volume exploitation of microelectronicand computers for management of milking and also automatic capture ofdata.SummaryThe most remarkable trend were achieved in the development of milkingrobots (AMS – Automatic Milking System).Key words: Milking units, stimulation, milking parameters, automatization,robotization.Milking is one of the most important and demanding working operationsin dairy cows breeding. It is a complex biological-tech<strong>no</strong>logical process inwhich four factors are active: man - dairy cow – machine – environment(Kovác, Š., 1996).IntroductionIn recent years, the development of milking equipment has continuedintensively. Considerable attention has been paid to constructional andtech<strong>no</strong>logical improvement, quality of materials being used, to design,functionality, technical parameters of milking process automatization(Dolezal, O. et al., 2000) and robotization (Kic, P. and Nehasilová, P., 1997;Vegricht, J., 1999).The aim of the latest k<strong>no</strong>wledge and trends in the development of milkingequipment has been to reduce the needs of man power, to optimize milkingprocess and achieve data required for dairy cows breeding management.Materials andmethods<strong>ICAR</strong> <strong>Technical</strong> <strong>Series</strong> - No 7229
