Ferma de vaci care își vinde produsele în propriile magazine

The integrated farm that sells its products in its own network of stores. In Sibiu County, without operating a herd of thousands of cows, with a well-thought-out business plan, a livestock business managed to be profitable. A mixed farm, in which investments were made mainly in the livestock sector, the farm in Sibiu County relies on local, but also foreign, genetics. The best performances are obtained with cows of the Bălțată Românească breed. For five years, robotic milking was introduced on the farm, and the investment was worth every penny. After the modernization, the farm manager noticed not only that the workload had decreased, but also that the cows were giving more milk. Part of the work on the farm is now also done from the office. With a special computer system, each cow is monitored, and this helps the farm to further select high-performance genetics. The productivity of the cows on the farm depends largely on the feed. Silage corn is the mainstay, and the annual harvest is high precisely thanks to the cows: instead of chemical fertilizers, the farm uses only manure. The farm in Sibiu expects to access a new subsidy for silage corn this year. The additional coupled support comes to compensate for the increasing production costs and, in this way, the farm will be able to maintain affordable prices for the products so appreciated on the local market, in Sibiu County.
