π Israeli Super Cows and Dairy Technology
Israeli dairy cows, particularly post ein heifers, are renowned for their high milk production. In 2012, they produced an average of 10.5 tons per cow, surpassing the United States and Germany by a significant margin. This productivity is attributed to superior treatment and advanced technology. Israeli farms utilize sophisticated systems to measure not only the quantity but also the quality of milk produced. These systems can detect the health and activity levels of cows through pedometers and other monitors. The technology has been exported to 50 countries, and the CEO of a local company believes that the conservative nature of the dairy industry is the main barrier to wider adoption of such technology. However, as the dairy business becomes more challenging, the adoption rate of technology is expected to rise. Israeli milk tech companies are optimistic about the future and are expanding into new markets, even using their technology for milking camels in the Arab world.
