Farm Story
I'm a breeder and breeding is our family tradition. My grandfathers and great-grandfathers were all breeders. I have a partnership with Federico Borromoeo who is an industrialist. Here at the farm I'm directly responsible for the organization, management and decisions on a daily basis.

In Italy, we have about 400,000 female buffalo, all Mediterranean breeds, at 2,500 different farms. Our farm is in the territory of Cremona, in Lombardia, which is in the northern part of Italy. It covers an area of 568 cultivated acres.

We have 800 buffalo ranging from calves to adults and 100 Frisona cows. We have the complete afimilk system, which includes Afifree, pedometers and the selection gate.

Customer Service
The use of the pedometer gave us the ability to solely use artificial insemination. Thanks to this system I have utterly removed bulls from our stalls with good results.

One of the reasons we chose Afimilk is because it's not just a tool, it's a management philosophy. We can grow collectively and always have the necessary information to manage more effectively.
