UK-based farmers Claire & Andrew Brewer use a DeLaval tandem parlour.
“We were using a parlour which was installed in 1967. After 30 years the parlour had come to the end of its life, even though it was a DeLaval. We decided on a 2x5 DeLaval tandem parlour because we liked the individual care and attention we could give the cows. The tandem parlour lets slower milking cows – who provide a lot of milk – receive the attention they require and still not delay the entire herd.”
“We thought that you could either have speed or comfort in the milking parlour, but with our automated tandem we have a good throughput and very comfortable working conditions."
“Although we looked at other machines, we came back to DeLaval because the overall quality was so good. We could have chosen a cheaper machine but I’m glad we bought the DeLaval. The service has been excellent and we haven’t needed many spare parts.”
Peo Arwidson, Sandebo, Borsberga, Sweden.
“I have better contact with my cows when they’re walking freely and good eye contact with each cow during milking. I also have a good view of their movements on their way to the milking parlour. The advantage with DeLaval tandem stall is that each cow receives individual attention. For example, I can let a slow milking cow take the time she needs without delaying the herd.”
