Dairy Design Service

You can plan the success of a dairy facility

During the planning phase, GEA Farm Technologies always keeps the whole dairy facility in mind. Well designed processes and systems in the barn improve the animals' well being, while equipment that functions smoothly assists the milker. This whole planning process is aided by the resources made available through the global GEA Farm Technologies Dairy Design Service Team.
 
With a global network of professionals experienced in dairy design and planning, GEA Farm Technologies brings a wealth of knowledge to the table. Using leading edge technology we keep our global team up to date with the latest dairy design information and tools, regardless of their location. This all means that when you talk to a GEA Farm Technologies ProFormance specialist you are not only benefiting from their knowledge and experience but that of a global team.  

An example of the Dairy Design Team services is in the planning of cow flow. Smooth cow flow with quick herding in an out of the parlour reduces the cycle time and raises the efficiency of the installation, independent of the choice of milking system type. Good cow flow and group handling minimises the time to change groups and increases the throughput of the parlour. The holding pens and gate systems aid smooth animal friendly movement into the parlour.
