Convenient Shed Arrangement for Milking
View Complete Answer & Explanation
Question (English)
In cleaning and milking the cows, which cattle shed arrangement is convenient?
- Face to face system
- Tail to tail system ✓ Correct
- Both
- None
Explanation:
Correct Answer: Tail to tail system
The tail to tail (face-out) system is convenient for cleaning and milking because the milker can access the udder from the common central passage where the tails face. Dung and urine collection is also easier as they drain into the central channel.
Summary of Double Row Systems
- Tail to tail: Better for cleaning, milking, and disease prevention
- Face to face: Better for feed distribution (common feed manger in centre)
Why Other Options Are Wrong
- Face to face: The udder is at the rear, away from the central passage, making milking less convenient.
- Both: Tail to tail is specifically more convenient for milking.
