500th Robotic Cow Milking Systema decreasing number of farmers are getting their hands dirty, lest they gunk up their smartphone.

it also automates milk testing right at the milking station and pushes the data to the farmer smartphone.
An automated brush system not only cleans the cows and cuts down on milk contamination but through tactile stimulation will trigger the hormone oxytocin that stimulates milk production.
