Cows being milked on a automated dairy processing machine often called a ‘Rotary milking parlor’. The table holds 58 cows. The cows walk onto a rotating table where they are identified by a computer and fed meal, their udders are washed and the milking machine attached. The table keeps turning while they are milked and eat their ration of meal. When they have finished milking the cluster falls off. The computer program delivers the corect amount of meal for the amount of milk that particular cow
