Vinamilk imports more than 2,000 cows from the US
Thursday, May 18,2017AsemconnectVietnam - The Vietnam Dairy Products Joint Stock Company (Vinamilk) has imported from the US a further 2,000 Holstein Friesian cows, which are known as the world's highest-production dairy animals.
The cows have been carefully selected and undergone strict quarantine and health checks by experts prior to their arrival in Vietnam and sent to Vinamilk farm in southwestern Tay Ninh province.
As planned, Vinamilk will increase the herd of cows at the farm from nearly 5,000 to 8,000 heads in the near future.
According to a Vinamilk representative, the company sets an important goal in its development strategy to have fresh milk in place. With more investment, the farms will become a source of raw milk, helping the company improve the quality of products and increase the rate of industry localization.
