DeLaval
2010/2011 in brief

Smart Farming great success at EuroTier 2010
At EuroTier, the world’s leading exhibition for animal husbandry and management, DeLaval took the dairy world by storm, introducing the industry’s first automatic milking rotary, the automatic solution large-scale dairy farmers had long been waiting for.

DeLaval swinging cow brush named
"best in test"
After testing eight different swinging cow brushes on groups of 30 cows during a period of eight months, the German magazine dlz named DeLaval’s solution “best in test”. Of the eight brushes, DeLaval’s equipment showed the best safety and the largest reduction in energy consumption. It also kept the animals calm, clean, active and more balanced, which helped increase milk production and reduce clinical mastitis.

Launch of Cow comfort in Brazil
Due to increasing land prices in Brazil more customers are turning to intensive systems – free stalls, which has improved awareness of cow comfort in Brazil. This contributed to a successful launch of DeLaval’s total concept for cow comfort in 2009, leading to a 2 million euro turnover in 2010 for the area.
