Abstract

A milking device (100) comprises a milking machine (116) for milking an animal (110), where the milking device (100) comprises a control unit (120). The control unit (120) is configured to: obtain an identity of the animal (110) in relation to milking of the animal (110); obtaining a reference time point (300) of a lactation cycle of the identified animal (110); determining to acquire at least one milk sample of the animal (110) when a predetermined period of time has elapsed from the reference time point (300); obtaining a haptoglobin level from the milk sample (210); comparing the obtained haptoglobin level (210) with a haptoglobin reference limit (215); and indicating a health condition of the animal (110) based on the made comparison.

Description

technical field [0001] This document discloses a milking device. More specifically, a milking apparatus comprising a milking machine for milking an animal, wherein the milking apparatus comprises a control unit as described for indicating the health of the animal. Background technique [0002] On a dairy farm, the health of the animals is very important because in the event of an animal sickness, the milk production of the animal may be affected. In the worst case, if diseased animals are not identified early in the process, disease may spread through the herd; and / or diseased animals may have to stop production. [0003] There are many ways to detect disease in animals. Typically, they both involve visual inspections by the farmer and / or some kind of test that the farmer performs on the animals and then has to analyze the results. This is usually time consuming. Farmers are often busy with a large number of different tasks on the farm, and sometimes have to completely p...
