We live milk

DeLaval is a market leader and trusted partner for dairy farmers globally – providing integrated milking solutions, advanced software and services to improve dairy production, all while promoting high animal welfare and overall quality of life.

Our vision and purpose

As a market leader, we take great pride in providing dairy farmers with sustainable and efficient milking solutions that prioritise the welfare of their animals. By focusing our efforts on dairy farms, we support farmers to achieve their sustainability goals by transforming agriculture for the better, one farm at a time. We do this by helping dairy farmers to become more efficient through increased automation, digital services and expert advice.

This is our purpose. This is why we do what we do – to ensure the world continues to have access to milk, one of nature’s most nutri- tious foods.

Products and solutions

Driven by innovation, we continually strive to provide dairy farmers with world-class milking equipment and solutions. We offer efficient systems that enhance milking and other on-farm operations.

DeLaval customers can benefit from advisory and digital services to improve their performance. They can also choose from all-inclusive service plans and consumables including liners and tubes, farm supplies, and original parts to ensure milk quality and animal welfare. By providing better conditions for animals, farmers can improve animal welfare and longevity while at the same time maintain or improve farm profitability. After all, a healthy animal provides more milk, of better quality, and for a longer period.

Automation and digital services

Globally, more and more farms are utilising automated solutions and digital services on their farms. One example of this is DeLaval Bio- Sensors that gather highly precise data from each individual cow and provide the farmer with real-time analysis. This allows the farmer to optimise the timing of insemination, or if she is getting sick, enabling them to care for the animal early on.

These advanced digital services are powered by DeepBlue, our artificial intelligence. DeepBlue models of cow behaviour are trained on cow events, and through deep learning (utilising multi-layered neural networks) identify patterns in cow data, from farms around the world, to provide predictive insights.

With these insights farms can work on improving their performance by introducing updated working methods, better hygiene practices, or investing in deeper insights by installing new BioSensors and increasing their farm automation. The aim is to empower farmers by using more data to support better decision-making on farms.

Automated solutions enable farmers to shift their focus from manual labour to other important tasks on the farm, such as animal care and overall management. In regions experiencing labour shortages, auto- mation ensures that dairy farms can still operate efficiently.

Sustainability

Every time we help a farmer find a way to produce more milk from the same herd, we make food production more sustainable – doing more with less. We are guided by the United Nations Sustainable Develop- ment Goals (SDGs) and we set targets to become better in our own operations as well as in the products we offer our customers.
