Step into the world of dairy farming, where technology and tradition come together to produce premium milk and cheese. In modern dairy farming, cows are raised in climate-controlled barns, monitored by smart sensors that track health and milk quality. Automated milking machines and robotic cleaners ensure hygiene and efficiency at every stage of dairy farming. Once collected, the fresh milk is transported to advanced facilities, where the dairy farming process continues — pasteurization, fermentation, and cheese making powered by precision equipment.
