We deliver IT tools to farmers and extension workers for management and decision making. LKV BW is also the official association for animal identification 🏷
14 years ago, LKV BW, together with veterinarians, developed the first system for recording animal health data in Germany

📢 We would like to introduce our partner LKV Baden-Württemberg, from Germany, which carries out performance and quality tests in the field of animal production and advises farmers 👨‍🌾 for better farm management, including milk recording for more than 270,000 cows in 4,000 farms!

Thanks to our partners and associated partners, we collected 63 million spectral data 😱🤝

🌍 This type of transnational database for spectral data is unique and we are very proud of this achievement, despite some difficulties related to data harmonization between countries.

We promote sustainable, responsible, and balanced animal breeding. EFFAB is a crucial stakeholder in the debate around sustainable livestock and aquaculture. Our policy positions are primarily science-based 🔬 and reflect the practicability in the field 🚜
