De-Lancaster Farming Saturday, October 14,1989 Westfalia Presents Side-By-Side Milking Parlor Designed to take less space and milk cows faster, this parlor has a centerline of 29 Inches and a sloped platform, which allows easy viewing of the milker. ELK GROVE VILLAGE, IL A new side-by-side milking parlor, designed to take up less space and milk cows faster than conventional herringbone parlors, is now available through West falia Systemat, a leading manufac turer of high-tech dairy equipment and accessories in Elk Grove Vil lage, 11., and Kipe Steel, Cham bersburg, Pa. The Westfalia/Kipe side-by side milking parlor features a milk cow centerline of 29 inches. This compact spacing stands the cows next to each, other, minimizing movement and keeping the cows content throughout the milking process. The parlor’s economical design saves the operator valuable time and lowers costs by requiring only one step from cow to cow. With the side-by-side parlor, milking takes place between the cow’s rear legs, and the milker weight is balanced on the animal’s quarters to provide extra comfort and better milk flow. Operators have a good view of the unit because the cows stand on a gently sloped platform. In addition, the side-by-side milking parlor gives operators better access to the udder, reducing milker attachment and adjustment times.

Du Pont is voluntarily withdrawing some uses of Manzate 200, a man cozeb fungicide used by farmers to protect a wide variety of food and nonfood crops in the U.S. This action would greatly reduce the hypothetical levels of risk associated with Manzate 200, while preserving the most essen tial uses on key food crops includ ing tomatoes, potatoes and wheat. Manzate 200 is Du Font’s trade mark for its mancozeb fungicide within the class of ethylene bis dithiocarbamate (EBDCs). “Food properly treated with Manzate 200 is safe for anyone,” said William F. Kirk, general director of agricultural products for Du Pont. “Our confidence is based on almost 30 years of use and analysis of more than 100 sci entific studies, half of them in the last five years.” “However,” he said, “the action Du Pont is taking is intended to ess News ger and shialler cows at appropri ate areas of the neck, directing the cows closer to the operator for easy access, The side-by-side milking parlor also features an animal-operated, auto-sequential loading system. As the first cow enters her partial ly opened counter-balanced gate, she pivots open the entry gate for the next cow. The process is con tinued until the parlor is filled. Depending on the operator’s needs, two basic designs to the side by side milking parlor are available-the standard exit and the fast exit. The stalls in the stan dard exit system rotate up and out of the way after the milking pro cess, providing a wide, unre stricted exit lane for the cows at either end of the parlor. The fast exit system opens up the entire row of gates, and the cows are released through the front of the stall quickly and efficiently. The fast exit stall system also can release cows individually for effective cow separation.

This involves sampling hundreds of fresh and processed food products in more than 300 locations and analyzing them for any traces of mancozeb and ETU, a minor breakdown product. The study will be completed next year. Results will be provided to EPA throughout the study.
