ABSTRACT:
A rotary milking platform with a means of entrance and egress of animals in which each milking bail (4) is defined by two restraining rails (5). The angle of the bails (.alpha.) and the direction of rotation of the platform (arrow A) are both either clockwise or counter-clockwise so that a milked animal leaving via the exit means (7) can be seen by the next animal on the platform (2) to finish milking. The exit path (7) incorporates a curved restraining rail (8) against which an animal leaving the platform (2) is backed such that only the animal's front feet remain on the platform (2). The movement of the platform (2) turns the animal (Arrow E) and the shape and placement of the curved restraining rail (8) guides the animal to the exit means (7). The entrance pathway (6) is radially aligned so that an animal entering the platform (arrow B) is oriented to step onto the annulus (3) into a bail (4).
