Add to ORKGTwo experiments were conducted to study the effects of sward height (experiment I) and the distance between barn and pasture plot (experiment II) on cows’ visits to an automatic milking system (AMS) and other behaviour. The study was carried out in a situation in which grazing was combined with fully automatic milking. The cows had to visit the system voluntarily without interference of the farmer. The AMS was continuously available in the barn adjacent to the pasture. The pasture was divided into ten plots of 1 ha for the two experiments and the preceding habituation. The same group of 24 Holstein Friesian cows was used in both experiments. The cows were allowed to spend up to 15 h at pasture daily. The results of experiment I (rotational ...
