All the work is performed by AI-powered equipment. It turns on automatically according to a schedule, completes its task, and then recharges. Several specialists monitor and control the operations remotely. The staff includes one milker, whose responsibility is to oversee four milking robots that serve all the cows on the farm. The complex is designed for a herd of 760 dairy cows.

And what's on the menu?

The health of the animal, and consequently the quantity and quality of the milk produced, depends on the feeding system and the feed itself. Modern automated feeding systems (equipment and software complexes) ensure precise dosing, mixing, and delivery of feeds in the required amounts and at specified times.

Feeds are developed to help balance the ration, improve the digestibility of nutrients, strengthen the immune system, and increase productivity. Specialists at the Belarusian National Biotechnological Corporation have created a compound feed for cattle enriched with essential amino acids. The same company also produces premixes—complex feed additives containing necessary vitamins, minerals, and enzymes that are not always present in sufficient quantities in standard feeds.

The use of AI allows the feeding system to adapt to changing living conditions. Monitoring nutrition on a "smart" farm enables the assessment of animal behavior and health, allowing for the early detection of diseases. Veterinary medicine also utilizes achievements in physico-chemical biology, biotechnology, and molecular immunology to create modern methods for preventing and treating dairy cattle.

Belarus is now moving to a new level of development in the dairy industry: from preserving and expanding production to strengthening its position among the world's largest producers. By 2030, the annual milk yield is expected to reach 10.5 million tons, but the main focus is not on the volume of production, but on its quality and technological independence. The use of innovative technologies will help our products maintain and increase their attractiveness in the global market. This will contribute to sustainable growth and stability for the entire economy.
