Optimising milk production while ensuring animal welfare: this is the objective we share with the farmers who place their trust in us. At VITALAC, we support each farm with tailor-made technical solutions and rigorous monitoring to meet the day-to-day challenges encountered in the field. Through a personalised approach and close collaboration with farmers, we help them improve their performance sustainably.
At GAEC Bouguennec, this collaboration has led to concrete results: continuous improvement in herd performance, perfectly controlled feeding, and a proactive approach to ensuring animal health and welfare.
Anthony and Ludovic have observed a steady increase in milk production per cow. A key benefit that demonstrates the effectiveness of the solutions implemented together.
“Yield per cow has increased year after year”
One of the main benefits of this collaboration is the constant improvement in results. Thanks to the farmers’ rigorous work, combined with VITALAC’s nutritional solutions and technical recommendations, milk production per cow has increased steadily and consistently:
🔹 Optimising feed rations to meet the herd’s specific needs.
🔹 Improving zootechnical performance to achieve a good nutritional balance.
🔹 Reducing metabolic disorders through adapted nutrition and rigorous practices.
Technical support close to farmers
Beyond its products, VITALAC’s strength lies in its commitment to working alongside farmers. Philippe Arzul, ruminant expert veterinarian, and Eveline Aukes, technical sales representative at VITALAC, monitor GAEC Bouguennec. They provide expertise and personalised follow-up, enabling precise adjustments as the herd’s needs evolve.
🔹Regular on-farm monitoring
🔹 Nutritional and health assessments, with in-depth analyses
🔹Adaptation of rations according to the season, objectives and physiological stage of the animals.
🔹Rapid identification of areas for improvement, for maximum responsiveness.
“Thanks to VITALAC’s advice and products, we have managed to increase production. Philippe Arzul and Eveline Aukes provide rigorous follow-up with regular testing.”
Avec cet accompagnement sur-mesure, les éleveurs peuvent compter sur des conseils techniques précis et réactifs, leur permettant de prendre les bonnes décisions pour la santé et la productivité de leur troupeau.
With this tailor-made support, the farmers can rely on precise and responsive technical advice, helping them make the right decisions for the health and productivity of their herd.
A long-term vision
As part of a continuous improvement approach, GAEC Bouguennec plans to invest in new infrastructure to further optimise the welfare and growth of calves and heifers:
🔹Installation of an automatic calf feeder for the calves.
🔹Moving heifers into cubicles for better space management.
These projects are part of a drive for progress, where VITALAC’s expertise continues to be an asset in helping the farm achieve performance in line with its objectives.
Thank you to Anthony and Ludovic for sharing their experience.
