Figure 4.11: Section of solid floor house for goats/sheep with deep litter
Where dairy goats/sheep are reared and milked manually, milking can be facilitated
by providing a platform along the feeding fence where the animals can stand while
being milked from behind. The milking platform is also called milking stand. The
milking stand can be equipped with or without a ladder depending on its height.
The stand should be 0.8 m deep and elevated 0.35 - 0.5 m above the floor where the
milker stands. Moveable or immoveable milking machines can be used depending
on the scale of production. Figure 4.12 (a) shows a milking stand with ladder while
Figure 4.12 (b) shows a milking stand with no ladder.
