DN AGRAR APOLD – A Leader in Sustainable Dairy and Fodder Production, Powering Progress with Innovation and Scale.

The DN AGRAR APOLD farm has two milking parlors, each equipped with 60 stations, allowing for the milking of up to 480 cows per hour. Current production is 75,000 liters of milk. The objective is to reach a milk production of 100,000 liters per day. Facilities include three milk tanks with a total capacity of 100,000 liters and “igloo” type calf shelters with a total capacity of 600 places.

The DN AGRAR APOLD farm’s infrastructure includes a feed mill and a grain storage facility, optimizing the animal feed production chain. The farm also has two lagoons for manure storage, totaling a capacity of over 50,000 m³.

In 2022, a project to expand the capacity of the Apold farm by 50% was initiated, and was successfully completed in 2023.

Additionally, for the APOLD Farm, we plan to install solar panels on the roofs of the farm buildings. This project is to be financed both through subsidies (accessing non-refundable funds through the National Recovery and Resilience Plan) and through bank financing.

This project is planned for 2025, with equipment installation scheduled for the second quarter of the year. In the second phase, the farms will also be equipped with storage batteries to further enhance efficiency.

Also, in November 2024, operations were launched at the compost factory within the DN AGRAR APOLD farm, following an investment of 1.8 million euros. DN AGRAR’s first composting unit will produce organic fertilizers intended for both internal use and external sale. The process of certifying the fertilizers as organic has also been initiated, and the process of obtaining voluntary carbon certificates has been started as part of DN AGRAR’s sustainability strategy.
