A urine collection device for a cow, comprising: - a positioner; - a urine container coupled to said positioner; - a sensor for detecting a cow position; - a stimulator for stimulating a stimulation region of a cow, which stimulation region is ventrally with respect to a vulva of said cow, and - a controller, wherein said controller is functionally coupled to said sensor for in operation receiving a cow position of said cow, and said controller is functionally coupled to said positioner and said stimulator, said controller adapted for controlling said positioner for bringing said stimulator at said stimulation region and for stimulating said stimulation region of said cow in response to a cow position being within a predefined range, which stimulation starts a urination, and controlling said positioner for positioning said urine container from a storage position to a working position for receiving a subsequent flow of urine from said stimulated cow, wherein said urine container comprises a front end for providing at least part of said stimulator, and wherein said positioner comprises: - an actuator; - a positioning part connected to said actuator for positioning said urine container between said storage position and said working position; - a height adjustment part connected to said actuator for setting a container set height; - a pendula part coupling said urine container to said further positioner, said pendula part allowing a substantially free swing between a first swing position S1 and a second swing position S2 while maintaining said urine container front end substantially at a same height with respect to said cow, and having its equilibrium at said first swing position. - a positioner; - a urine container coupled to said positioner; - a sensor for detecting a cow position; - a stimulator for stimulating a stimulation region of a cow, which stimulation region is ventrally with respect to a vulva of said cow, and - a controller, wherein said controller is functionally coupled to said sensor for in operation receiving a cow position of said cow, and said controller is functionally coupled to said positioner and said stimulator, said controller adapted for controlling said positioner for bringing said stimulator at said stimulation region and for stimulating said stimulation region of said cow in response to a cow position being within a predefined range, which stimulation starts a urination, and controlling said positioner for positioning said urine container from a storage position to a working position for receiving a subsequent flow of urine from said stimulated cow, wherein said urine container comprises a front end for providing at least part of said stimulator, and wherein said positioner comprises: wherein said controller is functionally coupled to said sensor for in operation receiving a cow position of said cow, and said controller is functionally coupled to said positioner and said stimulator, said controller adapted for controlling said positioner for bringing said stimulator at said stimulation region and for stimulating said stimulation region of said cow in response to a cow position being within a predefined range, which stimulation starts a urination, and controlling said positioner for positioning said urine container from a storage position to a working position for receiving a subsequent flow of urine from said stimulated cow, wherein said urine container comprises a front end for providing at least part of said stimulator, and wherein said positioner comprises: - an actuator; - a positioning part connected to said actuator for positioning said urine container between said storage position and said working position; - a height adjustment part connected to said actuator for setting a container set height; - a pendula part coupling said urine container to said further positioner, said pendula part allowing a substantially free swing between a first swing position S1 and a second swing position S2 while maintaining said urine container front end substantially at a same height with respect to said cow, and having its equilibrium at said first swing position.
