About DeLaval
DeLaval develops and supports the systems that dairy farms rely on every day. Our solutions cover the core operations of dairy farming – including milking, feeding, housing, cleaning, cooling, and herd management – supported by service, advice, and digital tools. By bringing equipment, software, and services together at farm level, we help farmers run their daily operations efficiently while supporting long‑term performance. As a partner to dairy farmers, DeLaval helps manage complexity, maintain consistency, and support informed decision‑making as farms develop over time.

What if cows could signal that they were developing mastitis days before any visible symptoms appear? New research suggests that, in many cases, they already do through changes in their milking behaviour.

How we support dairy farm performance
Our work starts with how dairy farms actually run – the daily routines, trade-offs, and decisions farmers make that need to work not just today, but year after year.
As a performance partner, we work closely with farmers on their farms, learning what affects milking flow, feed intake, cow comfort, fertility, and health in real life – and how farms are supported throughout the day.
By understanding how these areas connect, we focus on what truly helps farmers keep routines stable, spot change earlier, and know where to act. We turn this experience, together with research and technology, into practical solutions that make everyday work more predictable and long-term performance easier to manage.
The five essentials of modern dairy farming
Every dairy farm, regardless of size or geography, relies on five essentials: milking, feeding, housing, health, and reproduction. These areas form the foundation of daily farm performance. Getting them right – and managing how they influence each other – is what keeps operations stable, productive, and resilient over time. At DeLaval, these five essentials guide where we focus our expertise, innovation, and development efforts. This system-level view reflects how dairy farms actually operate, where decisions in one area quickly affect outcomes across the rest of the farm.
Milking
Consistent routines, milk quality, and cow comfort at the centre
Feeding
Turning feed into performance through stable intake and precision
Housing
Designing environments that support behaviour, flow, and welfare
Health
Spotting change earlier to support preventative herd management
Reproduction
Better timing and insight to protect lifetime performance
