Is this mechanism still in use in the USA and elsewhere? Has it been refined? Does it have drawbacks regarding the cows' health and welfare? The page would benefit from an update addressing these and similar issues. -- Deborahjay ( talk) 12:26, 16 July 2013 (UTC)
The description of operation is inaccurate. It was not: 50 cows on, milk them, stop rotating, 50 cows off. The machine rotated continuously, cows got off and on at one location. Tewapack ( talk) 16:51, 16 July 2013 (UTC)

Is a website that offers reviews of regional tourist attractions, including marketing-type language, considered a reliable source for referencing the existence of an item at the location of the tourist attraction? Or is such a website considered an advert and completely inadmissible as a source for Wikipedia? See for example, this site. Jeff in CA ( talk) 02:35, 27 February 2023 (UTC)
The article says "The Rotolactor held 50 cows and could produce 26,000 quarts of milk."
What does that mean? It held 50 cows at any one moment? Or it held 50 cows as prisoners forever?
It could produce 26,000 quarts of milk from a single round of 50 cows? Or 26,000 quarts of milk per hour? Per day? Per week? Per month? Per year? Or the machine wore out and needed to be replaced after producing 26,000 quarts of milk?
This is kinda like saying your car can go 60 miles, when you mean it can go 60 miles per hour. Big difference. 2600:1700:B930:7B90:30EC:DD40:2777:6D9E ( talk) 17:30, 24 January 2024 (UTC)
