Automatic milking system and pasture-based farming

Improving animal welfare through grazing whilst also reaping the benefits of modern milking technology? This is exactly what is being put into practice at Benedikt Renz’s dairy farm in the Allgäu. The farm manager demonstrates how around 180 dairy cows are efficiently managed using an automatic milking system and a sophisticated grazing management system. He discusses the challenges involved, key planning decisions and insights gained from several years of practical experience. Topics such as hoof health, work organisation and economic efficiency are also covered. The film provides valuable insights for farms looking to develop their grazing practices with a view to the future.
