Revolutionizing Dairy Farming: A Look at DeLaval’s VMS Batch Milking Robotic System in Canada
DeLaval, a global leader in dairy farming solutions, recently opened a new technical training center in Ontario, Canada. The VMS Solutions Manager, Jason French, discussed the company’s history and innovations. Founded in Sweden, the company celebrated its 140th anniversary last year, tracing back to Gustaf DeLaval who invented the cream separator in 1883.
During the 1980s, there was skepticism about the need for automated milking as farms traditionally relied on manual labor. However, DeLaval anticipated the shift towards modern farming practices. The initial goal of the VMS batch milking system robot was to help family farms sustainably manage their operations and provide a new lifestyle for farmers by increasing efficiency.
The VMS batch milking robotic system has had a significant impact on dairy farming operations worldwide. Tomorrow, we will explore this innovation in more detail and understand its impact on the dairy industry.
