Disclosed is a retention device for a rotary milking parlour. The retention device comprises a flexible loop member (16) supported by a frame construction (14) which is movable between a retention position in which the flexible loop member (16) prevents an animal (1) from leaving the milking stall (6) and a non-retention position in which an animal (1) is allowed to leave the milking stall (6). At least one part (16a) of the flexible loop member is displaceable to different positions within a limited area by a force of an animal in the milking stall. The frame construction is provided with elastic properties such that a support part (14a) of the frame construction supporting the part of the flexible loop member is able to be displaced by the supported part (16a) of the flexible loop member to all positions within the limited area by means of elastic deflection.
