Our research
Research at DeLaval is guided by real-world application and is an integral part of how the company develops and evaluates dairy farming solutions. Its purpose is to deepen understanding of animal welfare, productivity, and sustainability, and to translate that knowledge into practical outcomes for dairy farms.
Through structured collaboration with universities and research institutions worldwide, DeLaval ensures that new ideas are scientifically robust and relevant to real farming systems. This work is coordinated through the DeLaval Scientific Committee and supported by initiatives such as the Gustaf de Laval Fund.
Together, these efforts help ensure that innovation remains evidence-based, responsible, and closely connected to everyday dairy farming.
DeLaval Scientific Committee
Facilitating research contacts and collaborations between DeLaval and external research partners
The DeLaval Scientific Committee is the engine powering our research collaborations – connecting DeLaval with leading scientists and universities around the world. By championing evidence-based research and driving strategic partnerships, this expert group helps ensure DeLaval stays at the forefront of dairy technology, sustainability, and animal welfare.
Gustaf De Laval Fund
Supporting the next generation of dairy scientists
The Scientific Committee plays a key role in nurturing tomorrow’s talent. Through programmes like the DeLaval student programme and the Gustaf de Laval Fund, young researchers receive support to explore topics that strengthen animal welfare, improve efficiency, and shape the future of dairy farming.
Researchers interested in working with DeLaval can submit their ideas through a simple application process, including a brief project summary.
