Dairy goat industry ‘exciting sector’ Jo Bailey Providing technologically-advanced rotary milking systems to dairy farms is by far the largest market for Dairymaster Milking Systems NZ Ltd. However, the Taranaki-based firm, which represents the leading Irish brand Dairymaster, is working on a growing number of projects for the dairy goat industry, says director Craig Burrows. “We are currently installing a 120 bail goat rotary on a Morrinsville farm, which is one of several projects we have completed for the sector in the last couple of years. “As the benefits of goat milk are more recognised we believe it could become quite a growth industry for New Zealand, especially as the Chinese go ahead with the factory that is being planned in the South Island.” With its world leading, award-winning goat milking systems, Craig believes Dairymaster is well poised to continue servicing this “exciting’ sector. “Last year the automated Dairymaster goat rotary milking platform won the Eurotier Gold Medal, which is a top European award for innovation. It provides a revolutionary way of milking, with robotic technology significantly reducing operator workload, in terms of both milking and cleaning.” The cluster on the milking machine is conveniently located directly under the goat’s teats in a robotic carriage in the platform of the rotary, which considerably speeds up cluster attachment, says Craig. “The cups pop up and the operator pulls them straight up and onto the goat in around three seconds. It’s a big time saver.” When milking is finished, the teat cups are automatically removed and sanitized after the carriage is retracted back under the platform. The system also has an automatic teat spraying option. “All the operator has to do is lift the cups up onto the goats and everything else is taken care of. It is a really great bit of gear.” Dairymaster Milking Systems NZ has held the
