MILKING ▶▶▶
system, the farmer has total control to process milk from any selected group of cows. This allows the farmer to make choic- es about processing with the end product and consumer in mind. The reduced number of steps from the farm to the con- sumer create the freshness and purest taste of the product. The current system is a working concept and has been opera- tional for the past eight months on the Dobbelhoeve farm in Udenhout, the Netherlands. A farm where father and son Van Roessel milk 120 cows, organically produced. With the sys- tem, this farm is producing milk, named ‘Mijn Melk’ (Dutch for ‘My Milk’). The farmer has selected specific cow families for this milk and is directly sold to a retailer (so not sold to consumers at the farm). The retail price of recycled bottle with 800ml of organic milk is € 1.69 (this is € 2.12 per litre of milk, incl tax). As of September this year, the milk is available in 500 stores from the biggest Dutch retailer. Milk from MijnMelk is separated per selected group, homogenised to 4% fat content (little bit more fat than normal milk, pasteur- ised and bottled. The name of the cow and her family mem- bers, the date the cows are milked and when the milk is bot- tled are mentioned on the bottle. According to Lely and the farmers this is essential in today’s world where consumers want to know where their food comes from.
Lely going yellow Dairy farmers are familiar with the Lely being red. But when Lely introduces innovations, the company does so via the ‘Yellow Revolution’. Alexander van der Lely, CEO of Lely: “We introduced the milking robot 26 years ago. That was a true revolution. Since then, we have been continuing to innovate, always with the cow as a central point. Since 2005, we have been highlighting our innovations by making the first type of the machine yellow. Since 2005, we introduced nine yellow revolutions and the Lely Orbiter is now the latest addition, which we introduced during our latest event in August this year. With Orbiter we want to increase the role of the dairy farmer in the marketing and processing of milk.” Van der Lely addresses that small scale processing on-farm makes it possi- ble to make choices in the type of milk produced. In the com- ing year Lely aims to install a small number of Lely Orbiter systems and will further explore the opportunities of direct processing in combination with robotic milking. “The first in- stallation runs at the farm of Van Roessel and from there we will improve and further develop the installation. We also see potential outside the Netherlands, in other North West Euro- pean countries, but also in the United States and China for example,” he concludes.
