DeLaval to train Chinese dairy farm managers

DeLaval

Sister-companies DeLaval and Tetra Pak have signed a five-year agreement with the Dairy Association of China to train Chinese dairy farm managers. Under the agreement, the Swiss-based companies will train 150 managers for large-scale dairy farms in China.

The training will be done at the China Agricultural University and DeLaval’s Humra Farm in Sweden. DeLaval and Tetra Pak have been involved in the dairy industry in China since 2003.  Their first project was to upgrade the quality of the farms which furnish milk to the Chinese school feeding program.

Earlier this year the University of Wisconsin-Madison was selected to develop the curriculum for a new $400 million dairy training center being built in northeast China by Nestle corporation.

Since 2008, China has been working to transform their dairy industry from household operations with a few cows to medium-to-large scale operations. The goal is to have 60 percent of the nation’s dairy cows on those larger farms by 2020.
