CUT Farm – DN AGRAR GROUP S.A.

Inaugurated in 2021 and located in the village of Câlnic, DN1, Alba County, the DN AGRAR CUT farm operates in both cow milk production and the cultivation of cereals (excluding rice), legumes, and soybeans. The production of cereals and vegetables is primarily intended for feeding the farm’s dairy cattle herd. DN AGRAR CUT operates with over 2,000 dairy cows, utilizing technological equipment compliant with European standards. The activity is managed by a team of approximately 40 employees, who use modern technologies and advanced animal monitoring systems.

The DN AGRAR CUT farm features a rotary milking parlor equipped with 60 stations, with a milking capacity of between 300 and 350 cows/hour, generating a daily production of 49,000 liters of milk. The integrated milk cooling system, which lowers the temperature from 37°C to 4°C, ensures quality preservation and facilitates both direct loading into tankers and transportation to processing units.

The farm’s infrastructure also includes a lagoon for manure storage, as well as 10 silos, with a total capacity of 10,000 tons, used for storing wheat, maize, sunflower and triticale.

An important step in streamlining and optimizing the milking process at DN AGRAR CUT is the installation of two types of industrial robots in the farm’s milking parlor. This technology is specially designed for rotary milking parlors, with the aim of minimizing clinical mastitis and reducing costs.

The first type of robot, installed in May 2023, is an automatic udder disinfection sprayer after the milking process.
The second type of robot, installed in June 2024, is designed for udder pre-cleaning and stimulation and milking.

The project’s implementation, initiated in 2023 and completed in 2024, will lead to a significant improvement in operational efficiency in the long term by reducing manual labor by 50% for certain operations within the milking process. The benefits of the implementation have been visible since the fourth quarter of 2024, following the completion of the adaptation and optimization phase.

Additionally, for CUT Farm (through DN AGRAR Service), 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 scheduled to be carried out in 2025, with equipment installation planned for the second quarter of the year. In the second phase, the farms will also be equipped with storage batteries to further enhance the efficiency brought.
