    Study Notes

    Milking Parlour System

    • Milking parlours utilize a herringbone system, which is designed for efficient cow access and milk extraction.
    • This system enhances milk production efficiency and reduces animal stress during milking.
    • Maintaining a distance of at least 50 meters between neighboring buildings is advisable to mitigate potential odor issues and maintain good air quality.

    Stall Capacity in Herringbone Parlour

    • Each stall in the herringbone parlour can effectively milk approximately 6 cows in a span of 1.5 hours.
    • This allows for optimized operational efficiency and cow management during milking sessions.

    Site Selection Considerations

    • Choosing a location for the milking parlour should account for possible odor dispersion, ensuring sufficient space is between the facility and neighbors to prevent complaints and health issues.

    Stall Requirements for Milking Parlour

    • A total of 30 stalls would be necessary to accommodate the milking of 300 cows efficiently.
    • This ensures streamlined operations, where multiple cows can be milked simultaneously, maximizing production outputs.
