Welfare – Happy Cows Produce More

General

• Africa is considered as an growth market for dairy production

• The dairy market is huge, yet complex

• The need for change is clear, but in which direction?

• What is THE “product” suitable for this kind of farming

• The solution should combine the needs & possibilities of the market players (Win/Win situation)

• 75 % of herds have 2-10 animals on average

• Very low productivity, around 1000 kg/year/cow

(world average 2038 kg/year)

• Low genetic potential & poor nutrition

• Increasing demand for milk quality & quantity

• Allocation of funds for rural development

• There is a trend of incorporating small farms

into bigger units (global trend)

• Processing plants, Cooperatives & Unions play

a crucial part in the sector’s development

Background

Objectives

• Affordable & viable solution for rural dairy farming

• Possibility to incorporate several farmers into one

advanced barn

• Improve milk productivity of the local cattle

• Improve welfare (husbandry conditions) of the

local cattle

• Improve milk quality and hygiene parameters to

meet high processing & consumers standards

• Expose the farmers to computerized systems

• Huge number of cows are kept in poor

environmental conditions:

Tied up in one place,

Suffer insufficient feed and water supply,

Suffer heat stress,

Insufficient health control

• The above mentioned, results in very poor fertility

• Milk collection method causes fast deterioration

of milk quality

Professional constraints

Rural Dairy Farming

• Farmers are reluctant to accept initiatives for few

main reasons:

They regard their cows as an asset (guaranty

for “rainy” days to come…)

Built-in suspicion, they don’t trust others

Unclear or “intimidating” solutions

They don’t understand the benefits

They are scared of the need to invest, or lack

possibility for accessing loans

Human Constraints

Main Concept

Modern “All included” barn which will

provide adequate cows’ welfare

conditions, adapted to farms with up

to 100 cows with a vision to future

development

• Roofed Loose Barn (“Israeli type”)

• Mechanized milking system with individual AfiMilk

milk measurement

• Built-in Heat detection (AfiAct) & welfare

monitoring system

• Cooling tank for milk storage

• Cow cooling system at the feed alley

• AfiFarm herd management & analysis SW

• Connectivity to HQ and monitoring system

(AfiFarm Net)

Unique Management Platform

• Online web-based management system for

multiple dairy farms in different locations

• Allows data access extracted from a number of

farms from anywhere at any time

• Benchmarking and monitoring Herds

Performance

• Management level reports & graphs

• User friendly and intuitive interface

• On line consultancy from afimilk HQ

• Average production increase of 8.0 liters per cow,

during 1st year of operation, mainly due to enhanced

welfare, fertility & modern milking

• Price per liter increased to due to improved quality &

quantity

• Feed cost will increase due to production increase

• Labor cost will decrease due to advanced technology

• Other costs will increase due to extra attention

• Increased income can be considered as marginal

profit

Economic Calculations Guidelines

• The price per liter of milk is expected to rise in

the near future

• The value to the processing plants is in fact

higher as quality milk is supposed to be

processed into high value Premium products

• Productivity will increase further during next 4-5

years

• Initial investment should decrease considering

mass production

Additional Economic Comprehensions

• The conceptual design will consider future expansions

• Adapted TMR feed preparation based on silage

• Forced ventilation in the bedded area

• Higher capacity milking parlor

• Renewable Energy (manure treatment, compost, Bio-Gas, Solar energy etc.)

• Training centers and professional consultancy
