Small modification to design can significantly improve cow flow without costing too much.
-
Herringbone Entry
The connection between the yard and the inside of the dairy should be designed to encourage cows to enter, and improve cow flow.
-
Bail and Pit
The design of the milking bail, pipework and pit are important factors in welfare and ensuring good cow flow into the dairy.
-
Herringbone Exit
Exit races should be designed to enable easy drafting and ensure cows can leave the platform quickly and safely.
