Quote
"I can say that today Afimilk is indispensable, especially for this type of farm. We don't go by "feeling" anymore since we have everything written on a report that we can download at any moment. This way we can be aware of problems in the herd and promptly find solutions."

Farm Story
Our group of Benetton Group purchased this farm in 1999 at an auction. The Benetton Group was started in the '60s, primarily as a wool producer. It started manufacturing wool sweaters, and in the '80s it became a global brand in clothing.

The farms we are currently managing are not connected to the Benetton Group. They are a choice of life because it's the family's passion. At our farms we use TDM products to manage the animals in the milking barn. With the system we purchased from the company we are able to supervise and manage the animals with greater efficiency.
This way we are able to obtain a better quality of milk produced.

Herd Management
The system requires a lot more attention both on our side and that of our personnel. But in the end, it is positively reflected in the whole farm's production.

Customer Service
Fertility rates increase, the animals are healthier, which consequently means that total management of the herd is more efficient.The most important advantage of this system is the ability to identify the heats and to measure the quantity of milk precisely and correctly on a daily basis.
