Dairy cooperative, Arla Foods, has been awarded the John Beckett Memorial Cup at the British Dairying Cream Awards 2021. The accolade which is given to the winner of the award for Overall Dairy Company of the Year is widely acknowledged as the most esteemed in the industry, taking into consideration production, operations and welfare across the nation’s top dairy businesses.

Dairy cooperative, Arla Foods, has been working with animal behavioural science and technology partners FAI Farms, Nedap and Alta Genetics to determine how, exactly, to measure the happiness of a cow. The project is being driven with the knowledge that the wellbeing of herds is determined by how they are managed within a given environment, rather than which type of production system the farm operates. The cumulative data is helping Arla and the wider dairy industry create a ‘happy cow measure’, which, for the first time in industry history, looks to automate the measurement of mental wellbeing for cows.
