バッチ搾乳が現代の酪農を支える理由

自動搾乳における最新の進化は、バッチ搾乳を導入することです。バッチ搾乳とは、通常1日に2~3回、決まった搾乳時間に乳牛をグループ分けして搾乳する酪農方法です。自動化技術は、酪農場における乳牛の福祉、柔軟性、そして持続可能性のバランスを取りつつ、それと同時にコスト構造を継続的に最適化し、より効率的になるという、酪農家の最近の課題を克服するのに役立っています。

何もないところから

多数の国では、安全な水と衛生設備を確保することがいまだに課題となっています。汚れの混じった飲用水により病気になったり、毎日水を汲みに行くという役割を果たすため、学校に通うことができない子供たちが多数存在します。ドイツのハンブルクを拠点とする非営利団体Viva con Aguaと協力することで、GEAは一部のタンザニアの学校にきれいな水を供給する手助けをしています。
