Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a milking apparatus, an analysis apparatus for analyzing biological properties of a milkmaid and a method for determining the biological properties of a milking.
  • the invention will be described in connection with a milking device for cows. However, it is noted that the present invention also for milking for milking sheep, goats, USAGE camels, dromedaries, buffalo, yaks, elks, horses, and other milk-producing animals ⁇ can be det.
  • a sensor system for controlling the quality of milk is also known.
  • This system is equipped with a color detection system to detect milk discolouration, such as the appearance of bloody milk, colostrum or abnormal milk.
  • the presence of blood in milk which is recognizable by the color
  • These properties include, for example the germ or cell number in the milk.
  • the farmer can also obtain an estimate of cell content via a manual scarf test, also known as the California Mastitis Test (CMT).
  • CMT California Mastitis Test
  • the manual test is time consuming and therefore not regularly for all animals or all milking operations feasible. In the state of the art, therefore, milk samples are taken at regular intervals on many farms and their properties are subsequently analyzed in a laboratory.
  • milk producers are required to ensure that milk or milk-based products are not contaminated with substances having a pharmacological or hormonal action, antibiotics, pesticides, detergents and other substances. If this due diligence is disregarded, the manufacturer can impose a ban on traffic as well as an administrative penalty, for example a fine. It is irrelevant whether the breach of the regulation was made consciously or unconsciously.
  • EP 1 381 269 B1 discloses an automatic or semiautomatic system for optimizing the milk production of a dairy animal herd, wherein each animal is assigned a unique and individual identification code.
  • the system includes means for determining a variety of components or parameters in a milk sample.
  • the milk sample can be fed manually or automatically to the analysis means.
  • a disadvantage of the known system is that a large-scale and expensive analysis device is used, wherein additives are used for the measurements, so that each individual measurement causes costs, whether the milk sample is OK or not.
  • such a laboratory-derived system is sensitive, especially considering environmental conditions in an animal house.
  • the Schalm test also known as the California mastitis test (CMT).
  • CMT California mastitis test
  • the Schalmtest is performed manually by the user or the farmer and provides an estimate of the cell content and thus an indication of mastitis disease. If the veterinarian has prescribed medications after the animal has been examined, the milk of the corresponding animal must be released during the administration of the medication and during a certain period thereafter.
  • a separation vessel used which can be connected to a piping system of a milking plant such that neither the liquid to be separated nor aerosols of the air flow can pass into the piping system.
  • a filter device is provided which, viewed in the flow direction of the air, is arranged in front of the pipeline system and contains at least one filter element which serves to retain aerosols in the air.
  • inhibitors should no longer be contained in the milk. In individual cases, however, it may happen that the milk is still burdened with inhibitors despite compliance with the statutory waiting period.
  • the user for example the farmer, can perform inhibitor samples with his own conventional device. But even in this case, the result is only after a few hours.
  • the above-mentioned methods thus have the disadvantage that the respective measurement results are only available with a not insignificant time delay and / or require a high amount of apparatus and financial expenditure overall and per measurement. Furthermore, the methods provide no assurance in the event of human error. If contaminated milk enters the cooling tank due to an accidental failure to measure or due to miscarriages or miscarriages during milking, the whole milk in the cooling tank becomes inferior and the farmer receives a price deduction for his milk.
  • the present invention is therefore based on the object to provide a milking device, which allows a quick and preferably inexpensive analysis of the milking, in particular with regard to the presence of inhibitors. Furthermore, a device is to be made available that allows to analyze several different ingredients of the milk, preferably substantially simultaneously. In addition, the analysis result should be made available at short notice.
  • the milking device in particular for cows, has at least one receiving device for at least temporarily receiving the milking, wherein on the receiving device at least one analysis device for examining the milking is arranged such that it is at least partially, ie with a predetermined area with the milk in combination, said analysis device has at least one biochip module with which inhibitors are detectable in the milk.

  • the direct receipt of an analysis result has decisive advantages. It is not necessary to transport a milk sample in a laborious manner to a separately arranged and susceptible machine or to a central laboratory, but the measurement takes place during milking without an operator having to intervene.
  • Known laboratory machines from the prior art are too susceptible to measurements in the field of cowsheds, since the environment there exposes even high-quality materials high loads. However, these stresses do not occur in the interior of the milking plant, because there are not the exhalations of the house, but only the milked milk flows.
  • the analysis device according to the invention is very small and space-saving, so the sensor area with the biochip or the biochips and also a large part or the entire analysis device can be accommodated in the protected area of a milking facility, so that no negative environmental effects are to be registered.

  • the biochip can be produced cheaply in the device according to the invention in large quantities.
  • conventional laboratory analysis systems which are located in separate rooms outside of the animal house to protect these devices from the environmental influences of an animal house, not required.
  • a biochip module can be used in the detection of inhibitors or other pollutants until the capture molecules are almost consumed. Ideally, if no contaminants are present in the detection of certain contaminants in the milked milk, then the biochip module can be used over a longer period of time to study a variety of milk samples and milk. This is particularly advantageous because the costs are minimized. In principle, costs for the measurement only arise when something is really detectable and not generally with each measurement. This offers quite considerable advantages over the prior art.

  • FIG. 4 shows a milking device 1 according to the invention with a device for monitoring a milking.
  • This device has a plurality of teat cups 2, wherein in Fig. 4, only two teat cups 2 are shown, with which the cows (not shown) are milked.
  • the milking can take place on a quarter-individual basis or else a milk collecting stop 106 can be provided into which the short milk tubes 4 feed.
  • the milk collection jaw 106 is then in turn connected to the central milk line 108 via a long milk tube 105.
  • the present invention can be used in either quarter or teat milking as well as conventional milking with a milk collection jar.
  • the device not only allows the determination of pollutants in the milk by means of the biochip, but also allows identification of the relevant milking parlor or the cow standing in that milking parlor ,
  • the milk yield or the flow rate of milk can be determined, but it is also possible to arrange this device 107 on the milk hose 105.
  • the reference numeral 120a refers to another sensor device. This further sensor device can be used instead of or preferably in addition to the sensor devices 120 which are arranged on the supply lines 4.
  • the sensor device 120a has a biochip module 30 described in greater detail below, which serves to detect contamination in the milk flowing through the line 108. If contamination with an inhibitor or an antibiotic is detected, the sensor device sends out a reaction signal S.
  • This reaction signal S can be received by a receiving device 118.

  • the reaction signal is at least also forwarded to a separating device 111.
  • This separation device 111 is preferably a valve, which is caused by the receipt of the reaction signal to prevent the supply of milk into a tank 114, in which milk 112 may already be present. In this way it is prevented that 112 contaminated milk can reach the tank 114 with not yet contaminated milk.
  • the valve 111 it is also possible to design the separating device such that contaminated milk is guided along the separating line 113 shown in dashed lines into a separation tank 115.
  • the reference numeral 116 refers to an electrical connection line between the sensor device 120 and the separating device 111. Via this electric line 116, the reaction signal is output to the separating device 111, to trigger a separation of the milking.
  • the line 116 and radio links can be used.
  • the sensor device 120, 120a with a fail-safe device (not shown), which registers a failure of the sensor device and, as a result of this failure, transmits a reaction signal to the separating element 111 so that it blocks the supply of milk to the container 114. In this way it can be ensured that even in the event of failure of the sensor device, a blockage of the milk supply into the container 114 occurs.
  • a fail-safe device not shown
  • this failure aid device is also able to detect, for example, a faulty biochip module and also to generate a reaction signal to the separating element 111 in this case.
  • the sensor device sends a signal to this valve at regular time intervals. If the signal remains off, the valve is blocked.
  • the module 30 can be made in very small dimensions, such as check card size. This allows the user to take a milk sample on cows and then analyze them immediately. All disclosed in the application documents features are claimed as essential to the invention, provided they are new individually or in combination over the prior art.
