A system for controlling the cooling of small milk quantities in a cooling tank ( ). An agitation pipe ( ) extended through a regular milk outlet ( ) in a first end wall ( ) of the tank is provided, having a nozzle end ( ) for introducing incoming/re-circulated milk onto a milk cooling surface ( ) at a predetermined position (dp). The position (dp) being situated ( ) between a first end wall ( ) and a central part of the tank ( ) and laterally displaced (b) relative to the perpendicular central axis of the tank. The nozzle end ( ) is directed towards a second end wall ( ) of the tank ( ). Agitation is performed by the agitation pipe ( ) upon demand or when the milk quantity is insufficient for a regular agitator element ( ) to work properly.

Method and system for controlled cooling of small milk quantities

A method and device for milking an animal by using at least one milking machine ( ) including at least one teatcup ( ) having a teatcup liner ( ) forming a space defined by a wall surface. The teatcup ( ) is arranged to be applied to a teat in such a manner that the wall surface extends around and abuts the teat. The device includes a control unit arranged to control the application of the teatcup ( ) in such a manner that an arbitrary portion of the wall surface abuts different teat portions during a first milking occasion with respect to an animal and during a later milking occasion with respect to this animal, respectively.
