Although the dairy house should be near enough to the barn to be convenient, it should not be directly connected. When selecting the location for the house drainage should be first considered.
The dairy house shown above is amply large to take care of the product of a herd of 30 to 60 cows.
The same general plan and layout may be followed for a larger plant by increasing the overall dimensions of the building to accommodate the larger machinery and storage space required.
A solid and impervious floor of concrete is essential. All floors should be well drained. Lastly an abundance of clean, cold, running water is necessary. Plastered interior walls are preferable to wood walls. The building should be partitioned off, and the rooms should be well lighted and ventilated.
Any building medium may be selected depending upon the investment the owner wishes to make.
