S
ince its early days, the Dairy Industry in Israel has been an
important aspect in the development of the agricultural sector
in the country. Dairy farming has been transformed into an
industrialized system, creating optimal integration between the
production unit (the cow),technologies and equipment (engineering),
the operator (the farmer) and the production environment (the dairy
farm).Israel is not bound by agricultural traditions,and Israeli farmers
integrate many new ideas into their farming systems. Integration
of co-operative ideas has provided even the small farmer in Israel
with technological access to modern and to up-to-date know-how,
through extension services.
More Milk with less Dairy Cows
Israel dairy farming has created an optimal integration between the production
unit (the cow), technologies and equipment (engineering), the operator (the
farmer) and the production environment (the dairy farm)
Dairy production and technology exports include advanced and
computerized milking and feeding systems, cooling systems that
reduce heat stress on cows,embryos for transplant,milk processing
equipment, consultancy services, as well as joint international
project development.
Advances in animal husbandry in Israel include the development of
high milk-producing Assaf sheep, a result of the cross-breeding of
the improved Israeli Awassi and the German East Friesian breeds and
prize-winning Holstein cows with superior milk production capabilities.
