Certificates of honour from the Agriculture Department of the region were presented to milking machine operators Oksana Sobyanina and Galiya Sharafutdinova, veterinary assistant Alla Chernykh and deputy senior accountant Irina Kameneva.

The work of machine operators Eduard Ramazanov, Andrey Krivoshchyokov and milking machine operator Gabriela Atneyeva was praised by the Regional Duma. Senior veterinarian Mikhail Zhigachyov and machine operator Nikolay Konyshev got valuable gifts from the regional legislative assembly. Last but not least, the head of Yarkovo district expressed his gratitude to hoof trimming specialist Askhat Galeyev and milking machine operator Ramilya Sabirova.

‘In 2022, Mezhdurechye, an enterprise farming 4,200 hectares, has harvested over 35,300 tonnes of fodder in physical weight – by 30% more than last year. Thus, the company has fully met its own feed needs. As for the gross milk yield, it is expected to reach 22,700 tonnes by the end of the year, which exceeds the 2021 figure by 15% and is by 20% higher than in 2020. The enhanced performance comes down to the boosted animal productivity due to a better balance of the rations, the development of the herd genetic potential, the use of cutting-edge digital herd management and feeding systems, including the in-house solution EkoFeed, as well as to the company’s tight-knit team’, notes Yuriy Spiridonov, Regional Director for Moscow, Leningrad and Tyumen oblasts, EkoNiva Group.

Agrofirma Mezhdurechye has been part of the holding since 2011. The company’s core area of activity is dairy farming, but it is also engaged in the production of commercial grain, cereals, pulses and feed crops. The total herd size amounts to 3,800 head, of which 2,100 are dairy cows. The daily output of the enterprise exceeds 56 tonnes of milk.
