Long live the cow

Approved solutions for health and longevity

On average, dairy cows have 3 to 4 productive years, bringing their total lifespan to 4.5 to 6 years – compared to a natural life expectancy of about 20 years. If we want to improve health and longevity in cows, we have to take care of the main reasons for this gap.

New directions in cow welfare

VILOFOSS focuses on highly specialised nutritional support, proper hoof health management, and optimal barn hygiene. With our cow welfare trio X-Zelit, HooFoss and Stalosan F, we address these key factors. This contributes to a higher level of animal welfare followed by more productive and profitable dairy farming.

The benefits of improving cow health

Cows that live longer reduce the need for frequent replacements. Healthy cows lower the costs and help increasing overall productivity by providing more milk or offspring over their lifespan. Healthier, longer-living cows also tend to require less medical care, which reduces veterinary expenses and improves herd health. Welcome to tomorrow’s agricultural solutions.
