>> Information on dairy machinery and equipment in New Zealand (NZ)
The pasture-based system of dairy farming has seen New Zealand rise to be the biggest player in the world's dairy trade. This has been achieved in part by an emphasis on minimising labour and maximising use of science and technology. You will find no better evidence for this than in the modern New Zealand milking parlour.
The ultimate in automation is the New Zealand-pioneered rotary milking platform, closely followed by the herringbone system. With these alongside other innovations in automation, the industry has achieved the ability for one person to manage the milking of up to 400 cows per hour.
It is not only automatic backing gates, teat washers, cup installers, cup removers and suchlike that you will see in a New Zealand milk harvesting operation, but health monitoring, content analysis and production monitoring as well. There are over 100 different products available through Agritech members to enhance the welfare of cows and the efficiency and economics of milking them.
