Cooperativa Libertà e Lavoro Farm - Ravenna, Italy

The Cooperativa Libertà e Lavoro Farm milks around 500 cows using 12 DeLaval VMS™ V300 units. They have three milking sessions each day, each lasting four and a half hours. The farm produces 8.3 million litres of milk per year and, with the planned expansion, expects to increase production to 10 million litres annually.

Why they switched to VMS Batch Milking: Gabriele Nannuzzi, General Director of the Cooperativa Agricola Libertà e Lavoro, highlights: “Choosing the DeLaval VMS™ batch milking system was a key step in modernising our barn for better efficiency and cow welfare. We appreciate the V300's precise preparation of the udder before milking. The VMS batch milking setup works well for our medium-large herd, simplifying management.”

Expansion plans: Adding two more VMS units to reach a total of 14, allowing the farm to increase the herd size to 700 cows.
