Abstract
In a milking parlor having a plurality of stalls for simultaneously milking a plurality of cows, and an identification station for identifying cows passing serially therethrough, an identification correction method compares produced milk weight values and expected milk weight values in a given milking, and performs a correction by shifting at least one or more of the expected milk weight values relative to the produced milk weight values by at least one stall number, to provide accurate cow identification when there is a misidentified or nonidentified cow, such as a cow having a missing identification tag.
