得益于新西兰肥沃的土壤、充足的阳光和温和的气候，我们的奶牛大部分时间都在户外放牧，享用着茂盛的青草。
在自然养殖方式下，我们的奶牛更长寿、更健康，很少需要抗生素，其体细胞计数在世界范围内处于极低水平，生产出的牛奶质量上乘。
户外活动对我们的奶牛好处多多。
牧场为奶牛提供了天然营养和舒适的休憩、漫步场所。牧场细菌水平低，不易受到疾病侵害。牧场为基的奶牛养殖方式让奶牛自在生活，自由选择进食、饮水地点，自由社交。
Our cows spend over 350 days a year grazing on pasture*.
96% of New Zealand cows’ diet is grass, grass silage, hay and forage crops (including legumes and brassicas)*.
动物福利计划
92% of Fonterra supplying New Zealand farms have Animal Wellbeing Plans (AWP) in place.
For the 2025/26 season, having a veterinarian agreed AWP in place that is updated each season is embedded into our Fonterra Farmers’ Terms of Supply.
关爱奶牛
我们独立认证的“关爱奶牛标准”积极支持动物福利。
“关爱奶牛标准”规范了在恒天然农场评估和管理动物福利的流程。监测动物福利指标有助于识别风险较高的农场，并提供适当支持。
