Abstract: A system, a sensor and a control unit for determining validity of a result of a lateral flow test, whereby a lateral flow stick that has a sample pad, a conjugate pad having antibody treated gold particles, and a porous membrane for receiving a capillary flow of a milk sample. The porous membrane has a test line treated with a progesterone reference which binds antibody treated gold particles of the milk sample and thereby brings the test line to change colour tint when exposed for milk comprising a progesterone level lower than a threshold limit, and a control line treated with an antibody reference which binds antibody, and thereby brings the control line to change colour tint when exposed for milk comprising antibody treated gold particles.

Abstract: A message handling node of a farm management system that receives error messages from a plurality of automatic devices, and generates and sends out error reports to user terminals, where the message handling node applies a rules system prescribing that an error report concerning a particular one of the automatic devices is generated based on fulfillment of a frequency criterion relating to a number of times at which the message handling node receives the error messages from said particular one device within at least one previous period in order to manage a total number of error reports received by each of the user terminals.

Abstract: A milking system, including a milk line; a vacuum arrangement; a milking unit; a pulsator, configured to adjust pulsation ratio and pulsation rate of fluid pressure at two distinct levels; a receiver connected to the milk line, and also connected to the vacuum arrangement; a milk meter; and a processing device communicatively connected to the milk meter and the pulsator; the processing device is configured to, repeatedly during the milking session obtain and compare a milk flow measurement with a low milk flow limit; and, when the milk flow measurement is lower than the limit apply a low pulsation rate and a first pulsation ratio, wherein the D-phase is longer than the B-phase; or otherwise apply a high pulsation rate and a second pulsation ratio, wherein the B-phase is longer than the D-phase.

Abstract: System for determining a respective walked distance of animals in a barn during a predetermined time period. The system includes a Real-Time Location System, a database storing historical trajectories of the animals and a processing controller. The processing controller is configured to determine the walked distance of the animal by establishing a walked trajectory based on obtained data entities, and store the trajectory in the database associated with the animal; or detecting a gap of missing or incomplete data entities among the obtained data entities; and establish the trajectory by inserting replacement distance data in the gap, based on historical trajectories extracted from the database and store the established trajectory in the database.

Abstract: A cassette (130) configured to enable measurement of at least one biomarker value of a milk sample of an animal (100). The cassette (130) includes a tape distributing spool (131); a tape (170) with a plurality of dry sticks (180a, 180b, 180c), configured to indicate the biomarker value of the milk sample, and a top film (310) arranged to protect the dry sticks (180a, 180b, 180c) while rolled up on the tape distributing spool (131); a tape collecting spool (132), configured to collect used dry sticks (180a, 180b, 180c); and a top film reel (330), arranged to peel off and collect the top film (310) of the tape (170).

Abstract: A control unit, computer-implemented method, and computer program for controlling a milk transport and cooling apparatus where a flow of milk is controlled from a balance tank to a storage tank, based on a temperature-indicating signal measuring a temperature of the flow of milk before entering the storage tank, and a level-indicating signal reflecting a milk level in the balance tank in relation to low- and high-threshold levels respectively, such that the control unit generates a first control signal controlling the speed of the milk pump based on the temperature-indicating signal when the level-indicating signal is within low- and high-threshold levels respectively, and can also generate a second control signal controlling a capacity of a chiller based on the temperature-indicating signal with respect to an uninterrupted time period.

Abstract: A cleaning device includes cleaning units (3) for receiving and cleaning teatcups (7). The cleaning unit includes a cup-shaped member (10). The cup-shaped member includes an annular bottom surface (12) extending around a longitudinal central axis (x) of the cleaning unit, and a side surface (13) extending around the annular bottom surface and facing the longitudinal central axis. Ribs (14) protrude from the annular bottom surface and have an extension between an inner position (A) and an outer position (B) on the annular bottom surface. The inner position is located more closely to the longitudinal central axis than the outer position. The ribs are configured to create a gap (15) between the annular bottom surface and an end surface (8) of a teatcup received in the cleaning unit. Each of the ribs is curved along at least a part of the extension.
