GUIDELINE 73 REVISED Layout of Dairy Milk Houses for Small Ruminant Operations provides useful information pertaining to milkrooms and milk cooler installations for small ruminant operations. The major areas of functional planning are covered including can coolers and freezers.

For engineering design specifications see DPC 41. This guideline introduces a new term, "Dry Milkroom" you will see in the text that this does not mean a room that cannot be washed down, but rather a room that does not normally have washing activities in it. The room still needs to meet all PMO requirements for a milkroom. All farms with a dry milkroom will also have a normal milkroom where all washing activities will be done.
