Building Appraisal

This layout allows the herd access to the robots without having to follow a one way system. It works well in many situations but some cows will require fetching.

This layout requires the herd to follow a one way system and so they are marshalled to the robots, meaning that there will be no cows to collect.

An interesting option for some larger herds, taking cows to the robots in groups.

Moving from conventional to robotic milking will have an impact on your feeding regime

Easy to over complicate

 Positioning needs careful thought and planning 

 Milk being pumped 24/7 and so very different to conventional milking

Totally achievable if farm layout can accommodate

Needs careful thought as cows won't be leaving the barn for milking
