Abstract
A method and device for controlling a milking processing system wherein milk is extracted at each teat of a mammal, such as a cow, and subsequently stored for a longer period. Prior to storing of the milk, it is at least partially or wholly filtered in the connecting conduit to the storage. The filter with any residue which may have remained behind thereon is carried outside the conduit and subsequently detected. A control signal is generated based on a predetermined quantity or quality of the residue of the animal, such that diverse control functions can be started on the basis of varying signals.
