The largest and most modern cow farm complex in Europe

We are developing a unique, science-driven dairy production model – from feed to the final product.

Future Farm is the first of five dairy farm complexes planned by Agrokoncernas Group, distinguished by its scale and advanced technological solutions.

Covering 8 hectares of building area, the farm will house nearly 10,000 cattle by the beginning of 2027, including approximately 4,500 dairy cows. The entire herd will consist of high-performing Holstein-Friesian dairy cattle.

Once the complex reaches full capacity, it is expected to produce more than 160 tonnes of raw milk per day, amounting to over 51,000 tonnes annually.

The entire dairy farm complex covers an area of 53 hectares. Feed for the cattle is grown on approximately 4,000 hectares of cultivated grassland, with plans to expand this area in the future.

Innovative Solutions

The farm is equipped with DeLaval’s next-generation 100-stall automated rotary milking system, the largest in the company’s portfolio. It features an integrated cow behaviour monitoring system, a milk analyser, and other advanced technologies.

Agrokoncernas Group has signed a strategic cooperation agreement with the Lithuanian University of Health Sciences (LSMU).

The primary goal of this partnership is to develop a unique dairy production model with no equivalent in Europe, covering the entire production chain – from feed to the final product.

The cooperation agreement with LSMU focuses on four key areas: animal welfare, genetics, feed, and emissions reduction.

The farm complex operates according to circular economy principles

Agrokoncernas Group’s key ambition is to develop a sustainable, low-emission agricultural production model that can serve as an example of the circular economy in the European Union.

Modern technologies and innovative solutions enable high standards of animal welfare, efficient and responsible management of biological by-products, and a reduced environmental impact.

A biomethane plant is being developed alongside the dairy farm complex to convert livestock by-products into biogas. The process will also produce biofertilisers for use in agricultural operations.

All processes related to land cultivation, feed production and livestock farming will be organised to minimise greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions as much as possible.

Circular economy cycle

Start of operations

The Future Farm complex has an approved Animal Welfare Policy, which all employees are required to familiarise themselves with and comply with.

The company has a zero-tolerance policy towards any form of animal mistreatment. The use of hormones and antibiotics to enhance productivity is also prohibited at the farm complex. Antibiotics may only be administered for therapeutic purposes as prescribed by a veterinarian; their prophylactic or preventive use is not permitted.

As Europe’s largest dairy farm complex, Future Farm stands out for its advanced technological solutions, which enable a high degree of process optimisation.

Once the farm complex reaches full capacity, Future Farm will employ approximately 50 people. Agrokoncernas Group is committed to continuously investing in employee training, professional development and skills enhancement.

A biomethane plant will operate alongside the complex, producing biomethane that meets high quality standards from organic cattle manure and slurry. The biomethane fed into the gas grid will contribute to the development of more sustainable energy production and reduced reliance on imported gas.

More than EUR 80 million has been invested in the Ateities ūkis dairy farm complex.

Strategy

This dairy farm complex is the first of four planned complexes, each designed to accommodate approximately 4,500 dairy cows. Once the project is fully implemented, the four complexes are expected to house around 26,000 cattle and produce approximately 1,000 tonnes of milk per day.

We are currently seeking strategic partners interested in investing in raw milk production and/or dairy processing. The planned stages of the investment programme will be implemented in line with the attraction of strategic investors and prevailing market conditions.
