Fundo El Risquillo installing robotic milking systems

By TechTaffy Desk

Fundo El Risquillo, a farm in Chile with 6,500 dairy cows, has signed an agreement to install 64 DeLaval VMS milking robots. The farm, owned by Agrícola Ancali and part of the Bethia Group, already has 16 DeLaval VMS installed.

When the new installation is complete, 4,500 cows will be milked robotically while one rotary will remain for fresh and special needs cows, says DeLaval. There are currently four rotaries in operation.
