Because more and more people are interested in how sustainably milk is produced on farms, Milchwerke Mittelelbe is taking part in the nationwide pilot project “Milk Sustainability Module”. Funded by the Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture, it aims to further improve animal welfare and make dairy farming more sustainable.
To intensify cooperation with our milk producers in the area of sustainability, additional potential has been created in quality management with a focus on milk production. The focus of our daily work is on
Animal welfare/animal health
Optimization of business processes
Prevention work in the social sector
Production technology consulting
Resource-conserving nutrient and feed management
100% of contract farmers
take part in the milk sustainability module
Over 60% of the liquid manure
is applied with the aid of emission-reducing processes (and the trend is rising)
92% of the companies
have invested in modern dairy farming over the last 5 years
