Improve the efficiency & sustainability of your dairy farm

The digital sustainability ecosystem for your dairy operation

Milk Sustainability Center (MSC) is a digital ecosystem to help dairy farmers improve the efficiency and sustainability of their operations.

Discover the power of Milk Sustainability Center

Dairy is a complex business with no system integration between crop and animal performance. Dairy farmers often use five to seven different, non-connected software solutions.

MSC connects those software solutions for you to provide a holistic view of your farm’s sustainability.
Holistic and detailed farm view

Aggregates and visualizes data from field and barn, allows a holistic farm overview and enables independent insights.

Automated upload of farm land & dairy data

Broad range of data from farm software is automatically and centrally stored.

Combining farm land & dairy data in one tool
MSC automates data flows for most popular field and milking equipment to minimize manual data collection and entry.

Empowering farmers across the globe

MSC is available in 11 languages, with dedicated support in the listed countries. We are on a mission to connect with as many farming software systems as possible. No matter what tools you use, MSC is here to support your journey toward a more sustainable future.

Track the KPIs that drive your farm
Get a complete overview of familiar farm KPIs across your operation, from herd efficiency and milk production to feed use, reproduction, and field performance. All data comes together in one place, helping you quickly spot improvement opportunities and make better day-to-day decisions.
Get recommendations specific to your farm

MSC translates your data into actionable recommendations. Providing you with a clear list of actions to improve sustainability, profitability, and nutrient use on their farm.

  • List of recommendations
  • Prioritized actions
  • Recommendation score
  • Linked to KPIs for each specific farm

Fast and flexible

MSC helps you track your farm’s sustainability by analyzing data from five key areas: Herd, Milk, Ration, Field, and Purchases and sales. This data can come from your farm software, or by entering it manually, or a mix of both. The more data you provide, the deeper your insights.

You don’t need farm software to use MSC, but by connecting your software, you’ll reduce setup time and monthly effort.

Start with what you have available and expand your data sources over time.

Ambition

We help dairy farmers make sustainability improvements through reduced CO2e and increased NUE.

Why are NUE and CO2e important measures for your sustainability?

Nutrient Use Efficiency (NUE)

The NUE indicates the ratio of input and output of nitrogen, phosphorous, and potassium.

Using your nutrients more efficiently will decrease your environmental footprint and increase your profitability: Doing more with less

CO2 equivalent (CO2e)

CO2e is a scientific terminology and a way to normalize various greenhouse gases to make nitrous oxide (N2O), methane (CH4), and carbon dioxide (CO2) comparable.

Find the contributing factors to your footprint and choose a strategy for lowering your it.

Aiming to empower dairy farmers to gain a holistic view of their farm, DeLaval and John Deere bundled their powers to create MSC
