Rustavi is one of the villages of Southeast Georgia where Fert intervenes for 3 years in the Caucasus Milk Program<\/a>. In this village, the actions specified by the farmers were initially focused on the supply, management of buildings, watering in the barn or the quality of the silage.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

But the most important constraint was the absence of water in summer pastures from April till October (plots located 2 or 3 km from the village) ; during this period, 350 dairy cows and their young (nearly 800 animals in total) had access to the water only in the morning before leaving and in the evening on the way back.<\/p>\n
