PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make animals come to a facility such as a thick fertilizer and feeding station and/or a milking robot, etc., uniformly at equal intervals for many hours as much as possible.SOLUTION: An implement for allowing an animal to freely move in a fixed zone and for successively receiving and/or treating individual animals out of a group of animals allowed to come to the facility such as the thick fertilizer and feeding station and/or the milking robot, etc., is equipped with a means for stimulating the animals so as to make the animals come to the facility. The implement is further equipped with a means for driving both a means for recording and/or deciding (repeatedly periodically if possible) time intervals in which an estimated frequency of the animal group coming to the facility is smaller than a lower limit threshold or larger than an upper limit threshold and a means for excessively stimulating the animals so as to make the animals come to the facility during the time intervals or decreasing the stimulation.COPYRIGHT: (C)2002,JPO【課題】 例えば濃厚肥料給餌ステーション及び/または搾乳ロボット等の設備への動物の訪問が時間にわたって出来るだけ均一にばらけるようにすること。【解決手段】 動物のグループから、所定領域内で自由に動き回ることを許され、且つ例えば濃厚肥料給餌ステーション及び/または搾乳ロボット等の設備を個々に訪れることを許された個々の動物を連続的に受け入れ及び/または処理するための設備に、該動物が該設備を訪れるよう刺激する手段が設けられる。さらに該設備に、動物グループの設備への予定訪問頻度が下限閾値以下である或いは上限閾値以上であるような時間間隔を記録及び/または確定する(出来れば定期的に繰り返して)手段、並びに上記時間間隔の間動物が該設備を訪れるように余分な刺激を与える或いは刺激を減らす手段を駆動する手段を設けた。
