On November 12, 2024, a study visit was conducted for the exchange of experiences with beneficiaries of lactofries, milking machines, and milk jugs, with the aim of further advancing knowledge of best practices in livestock farm management. 👩🌾🚜🌾
Two groups of farmers/beneficiaries from the municipalities of Vushtrri and Skenderaj participated in this visit, having the opportunity to exchange experiences with each other and to closely observe the breeding methods, production capacities, and proper management in two dairy cow farms in the Municipality of Suhareka. 🐄🏠
Among other things, this activity was accompanied by advice and new knowledge such as; the construction of barns based on animal welfare standards, hygiene rules on the farm, best practices for feeding dairy cows, as well as the production of animal feed based on quality preservation practices. Additionally, beneficiaries had the opportunity to closely observe the closed milking system for dairy cows, the lactofreeze room with all accompanying equipment, milking and cleaning practices of the milking equipment with the aim of improving the quantity and quality of milk on their farms, increasing income, and reducing losses from this activity. 🥛❄️🌾
This activity was carried out within the framework of the project "Improving employment and income-generating opportunities in rural areas of Kosovo," funded by the donor BfdW from Germany.
