YARD SYSTEMS

Rotary (or rotating) dairy platforms are designed to reduce labour expenditure and time spent in the dairy.

Yard systems hold cows before milking so that they are:

• controllable,

• their waste is contained and run into an enclosed disposal system,

• they can be coerced into and out of milking bails without fuss or delay.

Dairy Tech yard systems are designed to enable:

• easy cow flow in and out of the milking area,

• individual animals to be either held back for further treatment or released into a paddock race.

Yard designs are either circular or rectangular.

Circular yards have gates and wash-down lines pivot from a central post, which allows for no-fuss automation. It's a system well suited to split herd milking.

Rectangular yards offer the advantage of being extendable for future herd increases, as well as the benefits of herd control, cow flow and waste management common to both yard systems.
