INNOVATION, FEIRACO'S DRIVING FORCE

At Feiraco we improve every day by seeking quality and efficiency, with maximum guarantees in all phases and processes of the value chain. Hence innovation is one of the mainstays of our growth, with a fundamental aim: to optimise the nutrient profile of our milk naturally, through the feed we give our cows, to offer you safer, healthier and tastier products.

To achieve this, year after year we keep our commitment to innovation, with an investment of more than €1.4 million, of which 42% is own investment made by Feiraco, and we cooperate with different research groups at regional, national and international level.

Therefore, innovation encompasses all of our products, processes and services as the central core of all operations performed in the cooperative.

INNOVATION 360º

At Feiraco we opt for an innovation model from start to finish, allowing us to control and optimise all phases of the production process, from source to the consumer; from farm to table.

A 360º model that allows us to include industrial innovation, at Feiraco’s industrial plant, and the improvement of soil quality, reduction of greenhouse gas emissions resulting from the cows digestive process, the search for the best nutrient profile for milk in a natural way and to assess the adequacy of previously formulated grass rations.
