ABSTRACT:
An improved milking parlor construction is provided for barns of limited floor space, comprising the combination of a modular unit which comprises a module which may be utilized in fabricating milking parlors of the type wherein a central pit area has juxtapositioned on either side a cattle stand wherein each of the modules is composed of at least two space-apart, hollow vertical upright members that may be supported in concrete or the like and from each of which a feed bowl and shroud may be hung. The feed bowl is provided with feed from a feed conveyor superpositioned over the hollow vertical upright member and in communication therewith. In order to accommodate limited floor space considerations, the module also includes at least a pair of vertically raisable gates attached to the vertical upright members. A mechanism is provided for raising and lowering at least pairs of gates. One or a plurality of the gates defining a cattle station at which the cattle are milked and, incidentally fed, provides easy egrees for the cattle to the exit corridor to leave the milking parlor structure.
