Where delicious dairy begins

A well-treated cow is generally healthy and produces high quality milk. So, caring for the ladies is a win-win for the cow and for the farmer. Our farmer owners are committed to animal welfare and to ensure this, they align to our farm management programme Arlagården®.

This means access to clean, comfortable places to rest and some farms also give the cows access to outdoor spaces, water beds or even automated massage brushes – because cows also enjoy a good massage.

Cows eat a lot of feed that we humans can’t eat and turn it into nutritious milk. That’s why we think cows are so amazing! Keeping cows well-fed is vital for their wellbeing. So, Arla farmers grow most of the feed they use themselves – securing feed quality and lowering costs.

And some farms (with the help of their cows) explore new feed technologies. Because continuously optimising what we feed Arla cows helps farms lower emissions and raise the quality and quantity of our milk.
