Objective The proposal aims at an integration of knowledge on, and developing solutions foray adverse effects of the introduction of automatic milking systems as a major technological innovation on dairy farms in EU member states. Topics addressed are adoption determinants, socio-economic impacts on farm level, consumer and Society acceptance, milking hygiene and milk quality, animal health and welfare, farm operation (including grazing) and management support requirements. Results should facilitate a smooth introduction of automatic milking without adverse, or even with positive, effects on farming conditions, well being of cows, quality of milk and public acceptance, and complying with EU and national legislation. Objectives are to be achieved by an international and multidisciplinary research and dissemination approach, involving various research techniques.
