Kayadibi Livestock: High-Quality Milk Production Shaped by Modern Technology and Animal Welfare
As Kayadibi Livestock and Agricultural Enterprise, we view milk production not just as an activity, but as a craft based on scientific foundations. In our journey that began in 2012 with our high-genetic-potential Holstein herd imported from the USA, we take pride today in being one of Turkey’s few “Disease-Free” and “EU-Approved” enterprises.
Kayadibi utilizes professional DELAVAL milking and robotic milking systems.
Animal Welfare and Comfort-Focused Approach
We believe that high-quality milk can only be obtained from happy and healthy animals. For this reason, we have designed every detail in our facility with “animal welfare” at the center:
-
First-Class Comfort: We have equipped our animals’ resting areas with special German Kraiburg rubber mats, which protect joint health and provide maximum comfort.
-
Advanced Health Tracking: Every member of our herd undergoes 24/7 health monitoring through computerized management systems, heat detection sensors, ultrasonography devices, and fully modern hoof care units.
-
Hygienic Living Spaces: With fully automatic manure scraper systems and stainless, frost-free smart water troughs, we offer our animals a clean and spacious living environment at all times.
Scientific Milking and Milk Safety
Our milking process is managed with the most advanced technology without human contact, in order to preserve the naturalness and nutritional value of the milk:
-
Fast and Hygienic Milking: Thanks to our De Laval 2×16 parallel rapid-exit milking unit, our animals are milked in a short time without stress, and the milk is directly integrated into the cooling chain.
-
Robotic Milking System: A fully professional robotic milking system has been installed by GEA.
-
Uninterrupted Cold Chain: Milked milk is rapidly cooled to the ideal temperature in our 24,000-liter cooling tanks to prevent bacterial growth and preserve its freshness.
-
Full Automation: Thanks to our smart herd management system, the milk yield, quality, and health data of each cow are analyzed instantly; the healthiest milk is obtained in light of this data.
Our Future Vision: Breeding and Sustainability
At Kayadibi, our goal is to be a champion of quality, not just quantity. With a capacity of 2,250 heads and a current herd size reaching 1,400, we continue to be one of Turkey’s highest-quality raw milk suppliers. We continuously improve our herd genetics through joint projects with universities, aiming to leave a more productive and healthy legacy of livestock farming for future generations.
Kayadibi Livestock is the strongest link of trust behind the milk that reaches your table, combining a professional business approach with scientific meticulousness.
