Second shipment of milking cows arrive to expand DDL's farm

(Kaieteur News) – Demerara Distillers Limited (DDL) reached another major milestone in the development of its state-of-the-art US$30 million dairy farm at Moblissa, with the successful arrival of an additional shipment of high-yield milking cattle late last night at the Hakh Friendship Port on the East Bank of Demerara.

According to a press release from the company, the shipment of 473 pregnant heifers follows the May 9 arrival of a foundational shipment, when a herd of 85 pregnant heifers was flown directly into the Cheddi Jagan International Airport (CJIA) via a specialised Amerijet charter to launch operations for Demerara Dairy Inc. (DDI).

The arrival of this second batch by sea significantly expands the growing herd, rapidly scaling up operations at the Moblissa site ahead of commercial milk production.
