The breeding facilities are spacious, modern and comfortable as they are supplied with rubber mattresses, showers and brushes. The pastures belong to the same farm and are in line with the entire breeding philosophy. The vanguard milking techniques guarantee impeccable hygiene, superior milk quality and well-being of the animals. For several years now the animals have been treated with homeopathic remedies only and the pastures play an essential role in the breeding of the buffaloes. At Vannulo, men, buffaloes and the surrounding environment form a symbiotic relationship. The introduction of robots has changed the milking process and subsequently the relationship between men and buffaloes profoundly: the buffaloes regained a more natural and less distressing rhythm of life, as now they can decide themselves when to give milk. The farmers on the other hand no longer need to subject themselves to the animals’ needs but assume the role of observers and supervisors, and thus regain a certain working dignity.
