About DeLaval VMS Batch Milking
DeLaval VMS Batch Milking is a new way of robotically milking larger groups of cows. The milking process is automated, but the routines commonly used in conventional milking operations can remain unchanged in VMS Batch Milking. These include tasks such as cleaning stalls while cows are milking, sorting cows to a designated area for herd management, and adhering to set milking times. VMS Batch Milking has been installed on about a dozen farms around the world, including Rancho Pepper Dairy in Texas milking with 22 DeLaval VMS V300 robots.
