-
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.
