The largest livestock complex has been commissioned in Tatarstan
The largest dairy holding in Russia, the EkoNiva Group, has commissioned the Naratly livestock complex, located near the village of the same name in the Bugulma District of the Republic of Tatarstan. Investments in the project amounted to about 4.5 billion rubles, with Rosselkhozbank acting as the financial partner.
The infrastructure of the complex includes four cowsheds, calf houses, areas for keeping young animals, a feed warehouse, a sanitary checkpoint, and a milking parlor with a Carousel unit. The project is designed to keep 3,550 cows and 5,100 heads of young dairy breeds. The production capacity of the complex is 120 tons of milk per day. The enterprise has created 175 jobs.
The livestock of the Naratly livestock complex consists of high-yielding Holstein cows. The enterprise has already received the status of a breeding reproducer and is engaged in breeding breeding animals to meet the needs of farmers. Breeding heifers from the Naratly complex will be both moved to other farms of the EkoNiva Group of Companies and sold to third-party enterprises, including through the mechanism of electronic auctions.
“We are pleased to work in Tatarstan, the leader in raw milk production, and we want to contribute to the record figures of the republic. In addition, the commissioning of the Naratly complex is of great importance for the socio-economic development of the Bugulma District itself. Along with the projects of leading players in the domestic agricultural sector, it will become part of a full-fledged agricultural cluster that is being formed here. This will ensure maximum synergy for its participants, and comfortable conditions for people to work and live in the countryside,” said Stefan Duerr, President of the EkoNiva Group of Companies.
