Jens Peter Aabyen, Managing Director of Alpcot Agro, comments:

”In the past quarter we have seen further positive developments across the
livestock business. The milk production per cow is now on a historical high and
the sales of both milk and meat are increasing significantly. As part of
improving the overall genetics of the livestock, the number of cattle will be
slightly reduced during the year, but this will not have material effect on the
production volumes.”
