Abstract

Introduction-Automatically milking systems increased in the last years in the European Union. Behavior of lactating dairy cows in the barn can be used to evaluate the effects of changing in the procedures of milking like Forced Cow Traffic (AMS and VMS) and the design of management in the waiting area (AMR).
