A HUF 1.8 billion project, supported by EU funds, between the Kaposvár campus of the Hungarian Agricultural and Life Sciences University (MATE) and the dairy company Fino Food Ltd. will produce food products that will be available on store shelves next year, MATE informed MTI in a press release.
Quoting the managing director of Fino-Food Ltd., Linda Egyed Szommer, it was said that "the dairy products most loved by Hungarians were further developed" in the three-year program, which was mainly funded by the European Union.
Thanks to the cooperation, trappista cheese was enriched with vitamin D, lysine and lion's mane mushroom; natural and fruit yoghurts and cheese cream were also produced, the company manager said, adding that the new dairy products are "a real energy and immune-boosting bomb" for health.
The Kaposvár development, based on robotic technology and precision farming, is also of particular importance from a food safety point of view, and covers the entire product chain from feed production to milk processing, from cow milking technology to milk processing, in line with the "from field to table approach."
As part of the project, a milking robot barn was set up on the Kaposvár campus, feeding experiments were carried out, and the investments allowed students to get hands-on experience of the latest technologies used in animal husbandry.
According to MATE Rector Csaba Gyuricza, “the project symbolizes the university's key objective of developing education in close cooperation with corporate partners to meet market and societal needs," the statement said. "Thanks to this, we have doubled the amount of resources allocated to research and development programs from HUF 20 billion to HUF 40 billion," the rector said.
