Jeroen Luiten, milking philosophy specialist, received the nomination on Wednesday morning at the office in Deventer. He sees it as confirmation of what they say is a leading role in the field of sustainability and animal welfare in the dairy industry.

Selective drying per XNUMX minutes
Luiten: "Selective drying of dairy cows has been a concept in the Netherlands for some time, but we go further. With our M6850 system, we offer the option of applying cell count monitoring per quarter of an hour. This means we are very close to every mastitis, both clinically and subclinical," said Luiten. The measurement takes place without the tapping of milk or other costs per sample.

GEA's M6850 has won several international awards since its introduction in 2018. Among other things, the 'public award' on Eurotier. The Agribusiness Award may come from Boerenbusiness at that now. "Of course we don't know what our competition is, but we rely on our own strength," said Luiten.
