-Consider the best measures for easy and periodical cleaning of accommodation, yards, milking facilities in the dairy unit.
-The movements of the herdsman. Minimum travel to move cows in or out of milking area.
-Ensure provision for future expansion of the various parts of the unit

-The transfer of milk from milking shed or parlor to dairy and then off the farm should be considered for proper design/layout.
