摘要:
A milking system for milking a dairy animal comprises a milking cup, a measuring chamber which is in flow communication with the milking cup for the obtained milk, and having a sensor system arranged therein or thereon for measuring at least one property of the milk. The sensor system comprises at least three optical sensor devices, each configured to measure values of a property of the milk, and a sensor control unit for actuating the sensor system and for processing the measured values. The sensor control unit is configured to repeatedly select one of the sensor devices in a targeted manner, wherein each sensor device is selectable, wherein at least two of the optical sensor devices are identical, and wherein the sensor system is configured to in each case measure the local value of the property of the milk at the location of the selected sensor device using the selected sensor device, and to determine a value of the at least one property of the milk in the measuring chamber on the basis of the values measured locally by the plurality of sensor devices. The sensor system may thus reliably determine the value of the milk property of the entire milk in the measuring chamber on the basis of the plurality of locally measured values of the milk property.
