Project overview

The milking parlour expansion project was initiated in Q3 2025 to address operational capacity constraints as herd size increased beyond 1,200 head. The installation was completed on schedule in early January 2026.

This infrastructure upgrade represents a significant step in scaling operations to support projected growth targets while maintaining animal welfare standards and operational efficiency.

Infrastructure improvements

The upgraded facility incorporates several key improvements designed to increase throughput and reduce manual intervention:

Automated milking systems with real-time health monitoring integration
Increased throughput capacity from 85 to 135 head per hour
Enhanced climate control systems to maintain optimal livestock comfort
Upgraded hygiene and sanitation infrastructure to meet international standards

Impact on production

The new infrastructure removes previous bottlenecks in daily milking operations, enabling the farm to accommodate current herd size while providing headroom for continued growth.

Early operational data indicates improved herd flow efficiency and reduced stress indicators during milking cycles. Full performance metrics will be included in the Q1 2026 operational report.

Timeline and completion status

Construction began in September 2025 and was completed on January 12, 2026. The facility is now fully operational and has been integrated into daily routines.

Next phase infrastructure work will focus on feed storage capacity expansion, scheduled for completion in Q2 2026.
