Abstract
Developments in the field of farm dairy buildings have been rapid during the period following World War II. The present trends appear to be toward larger size herds and loose housing systems of management. Striking developments in loose housing include improved pole frame construction, prefabricated buildings and better arrangement and equipment for milking parlors. Sanitary conditions can be maintained with loose housing systems for the production of quality milk. Similar developments have occurred in the stall barn system of housing, which is still quite popular among many dairymen. Prefabricated buildings and tilt-up concrete are the newer methods of construction. Milking parlors and portable milking units are developing as means of reducing chore labor in stall barns. Cooperative efforts between all interests in milk production are essential to the continued development and improvement of farm dairy buildings.
