• 117,000 cows – 990 farms
• Production per cow
= 11,500 kg.
• 7.8m inhabitants
• Consumption per capita
= 230 liters

Welfare – Happy Cows Produce More
General
• Africa is considered as an growth market for dairy production
• The dairy market is huge, yet complex
• The need for change is clear, but in which direction?
• What is THE “product” suitable for this kind of farming
• The solution should combine the needs & possibilities of the market players (Win/Win situation)
• 75 % of herds have 2-10 animals on average
• Very low productivity, around 1000 kg/year/cow
(world average 2038 kg/year)
• Low genetic potential & poor nutrition
• Increasing demand for milk quality & quantity
• Allocation of funds for rural development
• There is a trend of incorporating small farms
into bigger units (global trend)
• Processing plants, Cooperatives & Unions play
a crucial part in the sector’s development
Background
Objectives
• Affordable & viable solution for rural dairy farming
• Possibility to incorporate several farmers into one
advanced barn
• Improve milk productivity of the local cattle
• Improve welfare (husbandry conditions) of the
local cattle
• Improve milk quality and hygiene parameters to
meet high processing & consumers standards
• Expose the farmers to computerized systems
• Huge number of cows are kept in poor
environmental conditions:
Tied up in one place,
Suffer insufficient feed and water supply,
Suffer heat stress,
Insufficient health control
• The above mentioned, results in very poor fertility
• Milk collection method causes fast deterioration
of milk quality
Professional constraints
Rural Dairy Farming
• Farmers are reluctant to accept initiatives for few
main reasons:
They regard their cows as an asset (guaranty
for “rainy” days to come…)
Built-in suspicion, they don’t trust others
Unclear or “intimidating” solutions
They don’t understand the benefits
They are scared of the need to invest, or lack
possibility for accessing loans
Human Constraints
Main Concept
Modern “All included” barn which will
provide adequate cows’ welfare
conditions, adapted to farms with up
to 100 cows with a vision to future
development
• Roofed Loose Barn (“Israeli type”)
• Mechanized milking system with individual AfiMilk
milk measurement
• Built-in Heat detection (AfiAct) & welfare
monitoring system
• Cooling tank for milk storage
• Cow cooling system at the feed alley
• AfiFarm herd management & analysis SW
• Connectivity to HQ and monitoring system
(AfiFarm Net)

Unique Management Platform
• Online web-based management system for
multiple dairy farms in different locations
• Allows data access extracted from a number of
farms from anywhere at any time
• Benchmarking and monitoring Herds
Performance
• Management level reports & graphs
• User friendly and intuitive interface
• On line consultancy from afimilk HQ
• Average production increase of 8.0 liters per cow,
during 1st year of operation, mainly due to enhanced
welfare, fertility & modern milking
• Price per liter increased to due to improved quality &
quantity
• Feed cost will increase due to production increase
• Labor cost will decrease due to advanced technology
• Other costs will increase due to extra attention
• Increased income can be considered as marginal
profit
Economic Calculations Guidelines
• The price per liter of milk is expected to rise in
the near future
• The value to the processing plants is in fact
higher as quality milk is supposed to be
processed into high value Premium products
• Productivity will increase further during next 4-5
years
• Initial investment should decrease considering
mass production
Additional Economic Comprehensions
• The conceptual design will consider future expansions
• Adapted TMR feed preparation based on silage
• Forced ventilation in the bedded area
• Higher capacity milking parlor
• Renewable Energy (manure treatment, compost, Bio-Gas, Solar energy etc.)
• Training centers and professional consultancy
Additional Options
• Herd health protocols
• Field crops and nutritional consultancy
• Management tools
• Breeding and genetic techniques
• Lowering heat stress
• Seminars and training on different levels
• Knowledge transfer
