Press releases and news

DeLaval today announced that their innovative herd management solution, the Herd Navigator system will go on sale together with the DeLaval voluntary milking system (VMS)– a unique and integrated Smart Farming release for the dairy industry that will give milk producers a whole new level of control over their operations.  Herd Navigator is a revolutionary new concept developed and launched in a close and unique enterprise between the partners Dansk Kvaeg, DeLaval, and FOSS.

A smart feeding solution designed to help dairy farmers save up to 3 hours of labour a day, improve performance and significantly cut feeding and capital costs, is up and running in Sweden. This is the first complete DeLaval Optifeeding system, installed on a farm near the southern Swedish town of Månstad. “Optifeeding is exactly what I was looking for: it had to be automatic, suitable for a large farm and reliable. I was glad to find it,” dairy farmer Patrik Johansson said.

This week DeLaval will produce its 2500th unit of the new Feed Stations FSC40/400 – a solution created to help milk producers maintain greater control over production while reducing input costs.

On June 1 DeLaval celebrated the World Milk Day. The day was founded by FAO (the Food and Agricultural Organisation of the UN) in 2001 and it offers an opportunity to celebrate all aspects of milk. This year more than 35 countries take part and have arranged various activities to honour milk in all its forms and shapes. The day also provides a possibility to focus attention on milk and the milk industry as a whole.
