The number of cows on dairy farms of "Molvest" exceeded 23 thousand heads

"We continue to develop dairy production. The presence of our own herd allows us to guarantee high quality products, starting from the stage of production of raw milk", – says general director of "Molvest" Anatoliy Losev. It is emphasized in the company that they do not seek quantitative leadership and they rely on high production of milking cows. So the choice was made in favor of European breeds Jersey and Monbeliard that produce 20-30 litres of milk per day. The milk of these cows is characterized by an optimal ratio of fat and protein for the production of cheese and butter. Brand products "Vkusnoteevo" are made of this milk.

"Productivity provides efficiency, efficiency – shorter payback period on investment. Accordingly, solving one problem, we solve all the rest, – said Anatoly Losev. – Lack of raw milk in the country is about 1/4. To meet this requirement, it is necessary to increase the productivity of the main farms by 20-25 %. Despite the fact that imports in any case will remain – this is normal."

The breeds Jersey and Monbeliard are marked by longevity and good fertility. By the way, "Molvest" is the first company that brought the cows of these breeds to Russia. Moreover, today the company has its own farm for breeding pedigree cattle counted for 9600 heads. This allows the company to fill their dairy farms at the expense of own raised cows.

Today, the company processes more than 400 thousand tons of milk per year and is the largest regional company in the market of finished dairy products in Russia. The group of companies includes eight processing plants and ten dairy farms.
