Rotary milking parlour for cows
With growing herd size the efficiency of the herringbone parlour is put into question when the size goes beyond 20 points per side. Although there are some herringbone parlours with a total of more than 40 points, they number very few due to the length of the parlour.
The most efficient parlour type for the large herd is the Rotary Platform parlour. Animals enter the platform into individual cubicles while the platform is in motion and alight in the same way This allows for fast and efficient milking of large herds.
Starting off at 44 points for the smallest and up to 70 points for the largest recommended. It allows for only 2 operators to milk 250 cows per hour on a typical 60 point platform.
