ASA “Astra” served as special sponsor of the All-Ukrainian Dairy Congress for the second time, held 19–20 February 2013 at the “Ukrainian House”. The event’s main organisers are “Dykun” consulting and the Milk Producers Association of Ukraine.
In front of the “Ukrainian House” building, anyone interested could see two loaders – a Manitou MLT 735 and a Manitou MLT 1035 – provided by “Astra” for congress participants to explore.
The congress’s first day featured a plenary session, after which milk producers and processors discussed pressing industry and dairy business topics in specialised sections. The day wrapped up with a gala dinner and awards for dairy industry leaders. It’s worth noting that this year’s congress brought together more than 600 managers and specialists from Ukraine’s dairy enterprises. The second day was dedicated to visiting leading dairy farms. Congress participants headed to two enterprises: “Krok-UkrZalizBud” LLC (600-head dairy herd, average yield 7238 kg), Bilorechytsia village, Chernihiv region; “Veleten” LLC (700-head dairy herd), Hlukhiv village, Sumy region, where “Astra” demonstrated the Manitou telescopic loader, showing off all its advantages at work.
Manitou telescopic loaders are indispensable helpers in agriculture, especially for livestock farming.
They easily handle a range of tasks:
– feed distribution
– manure clearing
– straw stacking
– fodder distribution
– harvesting work
– loading and unloading hay and straw
– loading and unloading work on the farm
– grabbing and loading bulk material
– loose grain
ASA “Astra” noted the event’s high level of professional organisation and participants’ strong interest in dairy farming industry development.
