Animal Health as a Priority

Animal health is not only a prerequisite for quality products — it is the core of responsible and sustainable farming. Our practice ensures that every animal, every process and every result meets the highest standards, because healthy animals mean a healthier community, sustainable agriculture and a safer future.

From the importation of the first heifers to modern control and care practices, our vision of animal health is based on the integration of expertise, innovation and continuous monitoring of quality.

Our approach to animal health

1. Biosecurity as a foundation

From the moment cow feed arrives on the farm until the milk is delivered, biosecurity plays a key role. Each step is monitored with the aim of minimizing risks:

• Disinfection:Daily disinfection of udders before and after milking, farm facilities, and disinfection barriers ensure cleanliness and safety.
• Microbiological control:Milk samples are analyzed twice a month in authorized laboratories, thus ensuring an extra class according to the requirements of the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry.

2. Preventive treatments

• Vaccination and antiparasitic treatments:We regularly carry out preventive therapies to ensure herd resistance to disease.
• Annual disease control:Tests for brucellosis, enzootic leukosis, tuberculosis and mastitis are carried out in cooperation with the veterinary station.

Animal Welfare: The Core of Quality

A healthy animal not only produces better quality milk — it has a longer and more productive life span. Here, well-being is not just a concept, but a daily practice:

• Free breeding:Our cows reside in a free system that allows them to move naturally, reduces stress and improves their overall health.
• Slipper care:We process the mussels regularly to prevent pain and infections, allowing cows to move optimally.
• Personalized approach:Each cow is monitored individually, and feeding and care plans are adjusted to its needs.

Technology at the service of health

Monitoring animal health requires more than traditional methods. The use of modern technology helps us to be one step ahead of potential problems:

• Tracking sensors:Our sensors record the vital parameters of animals in real time, allowing us to act quickly in the event of changes.
• Digital record:Every aspect of the work — from feeding to milking — is entered into a centralized system that allows analysis and optimization of the process.

The challenges and importance of animal health today

Global and Local Perspective

Climate change, growing demand for food and unstable agrarian policies are the challenges we face. Bosnia and Herzegovina does not produce even a third of its milk needs, and the lack of a state ministry of agriculture hampers access to European funds and competitiveness in the market.

That is why maintaining animal health is essential to increase domestic production, but also to strengthen self-sufficiency in rural communities.

What does this mean for the future?

Animal health is not just a question of agriculture — it is a question of food security, sustainability and economic growth. Our practices are not only an example of responsible farming but also an inspiration for how agriculture can be part of the solution to global problems.

• Support for local initiatives:We provide an example of how small farms can achieve high standards.
• Focus on Education:We share our knowledge with others because we believe that only by working together can we ensure a better tomorrow.

Conclusion

Healthy animals are the foundation of a healthy community. Our commitment to biosecurity, innovation and animal welfare reflects our faith in the future of sustainable agriculture. Every measure, every process and every result is directed towards the same goal — producing food that is safe, healthy and ethically responsible.

Because when we take care of animals, we also take care of ourselves.
