In order to produce significant quantities of goat milk its necessary to milk a lot of goats since the milk yield per goat is low relative to that of a cow. Traditionally increasing herd size meant long hours spent in the parlour and increased workload for the operator. Dairymaster recognised these challenges and applied their expertise and innovative technologies to design one of the world´s most automated goat rotary.
“Innovation in milking is key to Dairymaster and winning this prestigious award for our highly efficient rotary is an honour. Everything we do is with a focus on how we can make dairy farming more profitable, enjoyable and sustainable and this award highlights that Dairymaster has a lot to offer progressive farmers” said Dr Edmond Harty, CEO, Dairymaster.
The Swiftflo Goat Rotary has been designed to give optimum operator and goat comfort. The cluster is conveniently located directly under the goat´s teats in a robotic carriage in the platform of the rotary. Optimum udder presentation speeds up cluster attachment enabling the operator to milk with ease, speed and a minimum of stress.
The unique design of the Dairymaster Swiftflo Goat Rotary parlour has allowed farmers to achieve a cluster attachment rate of under 2.5 seconds. When the goat has finished milking the teat cups are removed automatically. The cluster can then be automatically sanitised to reduce the risk of cross contamination and is then stored hygienically underneath the rotary platform. There is also the option of automatic teat spraying.
