"We started construction in June of this year - says the chairman of the Board of Directors Agroliga Alexandr Berdnik - I was in Denmark before, looked at the work of similar systems abroad in order to get appropriate experience there. While our herd was grazing in the summer, were carried out major works, and installation of the milk complex, and finishing were carried out in autumn. Totally there were invested more than 200 thousand euros in renovation. "
