ABSTRACT:
A facility for use in handling dairy animals is provided which includes a service alley which is located below a platform on which the cow or other dairy animal stands during milking. A floor is located adjacent the platform and the service alley and defines an operator area where the herdsman can tend the milking equipment to be attached to the animal. Advantageously, the bulk of the electronic equipment and other milking apparatus is located in the service alley and thus environmentally isolated from the exposed area where the cows are milked. Parallel rows of platforms and service alleys are preferably provided, separated by a common operator area, and the service alleys may be joined to a common equipment room housing milk receivers, coolers, and the like. The service alley is preferably supplied with ventilation through subterranean ducts which provides air at moderated temperatures.
