Installing a new parlour is a big decision as the parlour will be at the core of your dairy production for many years. A new parlour needs to be able to meet today’s requirements as well as be able to cope with the potential demands of future herd expansion. The parlour also needs to be part of an efficient milking system which will reduce stress on cows and farm staff.
This Farming Note provides information on the potential performance of different parlour types, both in terms of cow throughput and also per unit of labour, with an emphasis on larger herds. It also covers new parlour space requirements and ways to improve the throughput performance of a new parlour.
