Milking equipment for sale

Types of milking parlours

Your choice of milking equipment will depend on how many cows you milk, how many times a day you milk, the overall cost and your personal preference. These factors will also be reflected in the design of your dairy. The four main milking parlour designs that exist today are:

• Parallel: there are two parallel rows of cows that are standing side by side. The only access point for the milker is down the middle and at the rear-end of the cow. All cows are in their stalls before the milking process begins and they are all released together.
• Tandem: the cows stand nose-to-tail in individual stalls, allowing the milker to access the udder from side-on. Cows can be released one at a time.
• Herringbone: these are most common for those with smaller amounts of cattle. The cows enter as a group in single file and stand at a 45-degree angle. Farmers can access the udder from the side.
• Rotary: milking stalls are in a circle formation that slowly rotates. The milker can stay in one place whilst the cows come to them.

Design a milking parlour that suits yours and your farm’s needs, and discover a range of second-hand milking equipment on Mascus to complete your set-up.
