Resumo: Automatic milking systems (AMS) have aroused worldwide interest recently. The first installation was by the company Lely in a project in the Netherlands (its homeland) in 1992. But nowadays, AMS represents a growing reality due to lobby for labor issues, rising costs, difficulty finding well-trained workers, and/ or difficulty keeping people on farms. This work aimed to present a review of the literature on AMS, beginning with a brief history of the evolution of the technology, showing advantages and limitations of its use, and ultimately giving some suggestions. The understanding of the technical functioning and operational running can help farmers and technicians in decision making on the adoption of the new technology. Besides workforce reduction and labor quality promotion, AMS has potential to improve feed conversion to milk, milk quality (with lower SCC), and cow productivity, as well as providing useful data and parameters for better farm management. Potential limitations include high investment costs, changes in milk composition (solids, free fatty acids), and increased risk of ketosis in cows.

O primeiro foi instalado em 1992, pela empresa Lely, em um projeto experimental em seu país de origem, a Holanda. Entretanto, trata-se de uma realidade presente e cada vez maior, pois o problema da mão de obra, em diversos locais do mundo, cada vez mais cara, pouco capacitada e/ou difícil de manter na fazenda, é inexorável. Objetivou-se apresentar uma revisão da literatura sobre a utilização da robótica na ordenha de vacas leiteiras, abordando o funcionamento técnico e operacional, bem como vantagens e limitações de sua utilização, visando auxiliar pecuaristas e técnicos na tomada de decisões em adotar, ou não, essa tecnologia. Apresentou-se, ainda, um breve histórico da evolução dos robôs ordenhadores, bem como algumas considerações finais. Constatou-se que os robôs, além de substituírem mão de obra, possuem o potencial de melhorarem a conversão alimentar para leite, a qualidade do leite (baixar CCS), aumentar a produtividade das vacas e proporcionar dados e parâmetros para uma gestão mais adequada dos números da atividade dentro da fazenda. Dentre as possíveis limitações estão o alto valor de investimento, alterações em sólidos do leite, presença de ácidos graxos livres no leite e aumento nos riscos de cetose nas vacas.UEL2020-09-19info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionRevisão da literaturaapplication/pdfhttps://ojs.uel.br/revistas/uel/index.php/semagrarias/article/view/3948010.5433/1679-0359.2020v41n6p2833Semina: Ciências Agrárias; Vol. 41 No. 6 (2020); 2833-2850Semina: Ciências Agrárias; v. 41 n. 6 (2020); 2833-28501679-03591676-546Xreponame:Semina.
