The welfare of dairy cows depends on several factors related to social interaction between cows, the management and the environmental conditions. In addition to milking, cow traffic systems and feeding are important issues. While free cow traffic gives most freedom to the cows, long and irregular milking intervals among individual cows counteract the success. Forced traffic results often in unsatisfactory queuing in front of the milking unit (MU) and too few feeding visits. Controlled traffic, which allows access to some basic feeds between milkings without passing the MU, results in better overall welfare conditions. The cows ´ interest to go to the waiting area in front of the MU depends on the time since last feeding and the number of co...
