Advisory service – What system suits me, my cows and my farm?

Our key advisory offering is our Parlour Planning service. When we are planning a new parlour or a upgrade to an existing set-up we always work through the following:

Type of dairy farming
  • The type of dairy you are running will influence the machine and equipment you need to purchase.
Herd size
  • Considering the future size of your dairy herd is crucial when planning the parlour size.
Cow flow
  • The aim is to have smooth, stress-free cow flow to the collecting yard, through the parlour and out of the dairy through the selection system.
Milking time
  • T- Keeping in mind your milking routine, consider a goal time to have your cows milked within. The aim the time the cows spend in the parlour to a minimum.
