Lacto Agrar Farm: Pioneering Sustainable Dairy and Agriculture in Romania

In addition to dairy farming, Lacto AGRAR is also involved in the production of high-quality agricultural inputs such as seeds, fertilizers, and animal feed. The company works closely with local farmers to provide them with knowledge and resources to improve their yields and profitability.

With a herd of over 4,000 dairy cows and young cattle, Lacto Agrar Farm is an integrated and high-performance zootechnical complex that achieves a daily production of 60,000 liters of milk.
Facilities include Romania’s largest rotary milking parlor, the high-performance Swiftflo Dairymaster carousel, that has 72 units and a capacity of milking 350 cows/hour. The farm’s land is cultivated with corn, triticale, cereals, and alfalfa, and manure management is ensured through a specialized storage lagoon, with a capacity of over 50.000 cubic meters.

Lacto Agrar generates a significant positive impact in the community by creating jobs, supporting education, producing high-quality milk, and contributing to soil fertility.

The farm operates with a strong focus on sustainability and animal welfare. Modern facilities, including spacious and well-ventilated barns, ensure optimal conditions for the animals. Advanced technology is integrated into the farm’s operations to monitor and optimize diet, health, and the milking process. In addition to milk production, Lacto Agrar is involved in providing high-quality agricultural raw materials, such as seeds, manure, and animal feed. The farm collaborates with local farmers to provide them with resources and expertise to increase yield and profitability, supporting them in developing high-performance agricultural practices.

Furthermore in 2023/2024, Lacto AGRAR completed a few key projects, and made targeted investments to enhance its operational efficiency. These investments involved farm modernization and automation, through the integration of robotic systems in a part of the milking process operations. These robots, especially tailored for rotary milking parlors, aim to improve udder health and reduce the costs associated with clinical mastitis by automating crucial hygiene steps: pre-milking udder preparation (cleaning and stimulation of the udder), and post-milking udder disinfection.

FUTURE PROJECTS for Lacto AGRAR Farm include the installation of solar panels on the roof of farm buildings, starting 2025. The project, which includes also Lacto Agrar Farm, will be financed both through non-refundable funds (through the PNRR program) and through bank financing. Implementation is scheduled for the second quarter of 2025, and in the second phase, the farms will be equipped with storage batteries to optimize energy efficiency.
