The DLG programme promotes animal-friendly husbandry of dairy cows. It contains requirements for space availability, contact with the outdoor climate, high-quality feed, employment material and health care and many other important requirements for the management of animal-friendly husbandry. The increased animal welfare is demonstrated with four different awards.
The "EuroTier Innovation Award" in gold and silver is one of the leading awards in the international agricultural sector for animal farming innovations. The prize honours innovations from EuroTier exhibitors of the respective year for practical use and underlines the importance of modern animal farming technology for agriculture. A neutral DLG commission decides on the presentation of the awards.
