Electronic computer monitoring of herd and individual cow performance is common in Israeli dairy herds, and allows characterization and quantification of milking efficiency as well as parlor throughput. Eicker et al. (2000) theorized that computerized parlor data could be used to monitor how milkers used the equipment in the parlor. The advantage of ACR compared with manual removal is well known. One of milking routine violations is “overriding” of...
