Programme: Recovery and Resilience Plan

Investments in the current FDI are aimed at technological and ecological modernization in a dairy farm that operates in the conditions of a mountainous disadvantaged area, to mitigate the negative impact of climate change, which is the cause of the shortage of roughage needed to feed dairy cows and calves.The condition of the farm will improve with the implementation of the technological solution and the shortage of coarse fodder will be minimized throughout the year. This will be achieved with the purchase of a technological straw baler with electronic control and sensors for maximum precision, which, according to the technical specification, will have the capacity to compress tight bales and dry grass mass, such as the specific humidity of hay from natural meadows. In order to reduce the shortage of roughage, a grazing period of no less than 120 days will be used for the animals, on the other hand, this will improve their well-being.For the grazing period of the cows, we need an electronic herder with digital signaling that will control the free grazing of the animals by wild animals and people, as well as protecting the field crops from grazing and replacing the human, as well as mobile pasture feeders in which to put a roll of bales for feeding during the summer period when the grass is already in the pastures and we will ensure constant access to food.Technological modernization will comprehensively improve the basic human-intensive activities such as harvesting hay, grazing cows and calves and feeding, will increase the sustainability of livestock farming, directly contributing to its adaptation to a changing climate through the approach of efficient use of natural resources to achieve the best possible results of the Intelligent Animal Husbandry strategy.
