Operations
We are a vertically integrated business, turning water into milk via specialised in-house operational divisions.
Through the use of technology, we collect hundreds of thousands of operational data points every single day across the business. This insight into our operations complements the intrinsic knowledge gained over years of experience and enables us to make sound decisions for the benefit of our people, our cows and our environment.
Farming
We farm sustainably by returning nutrients to the land, minimising waste and using water efficiently through modern irrigation systems.
We grow a variety of feeds for our cows over thousands of hectares. Our corn, cereal and lucerne crops are grazed or harvested for silage to be fed to the herd.
We apply compost and recycled nutrients to our land. Our cropping rotations are designed to build soil health and structure, so our land remains fertile and productive.
Dairies
Cows that are healthy, well-fed and well-nurtured are the key to our incredible milk. Their wellbeing is our priority.
From birth to maturity, we aim for the highest standard of wellbeing by caring for our cows and creating an environment where they are respected and promoted with a focus on cow comfort, team training, veterinary support and assurance programs.
Young Stock
Our young stock are nurtured in the calf nursery and automated feeding barn. Once they are old enough, heifers are either raised at Ladysmith Farms or grazed in paddocks.
Waste to Energy
The green energy produced by the bio-digester is used to power the dairy operations at Moxey Farms, with surplus electricity exported and sold to the public grid. As a result, positive benefits are shared beyond the farmgate as families and businesses in surrounding towns are able to use the green energy generated by the dairy.
Genetics
We continue to source elite Holstein genetics to develop our herd. We embrace advanced breeding programs to promote traits that support our herd health and wellbeing objectives.
Moxey Farms is home to WAVE Ag Tech, a global partnership between AFMH and World Wide Sires. WAVE operates out of a world-class IVF facility, one of the largest in the southern hemisphere and is focused on the production of Grade 1 embryos.
