RYK – Milkrecording

RYK Fonden
Since 1895 recording and data management has been solid rocks behind our dairy industry. Strong decisions come from strong data behind it. History has proven the concept of DHI. Farmers and employees in DHI have over 125 years developed the service and what is in it. 
No one was afraid of new tools. Most of this work added extra values to milk recording.
Today the service is the same as in 1895, but the tools are different. 
The goal is still to support the dairy industry in adding value to our proud industry.

Where we came from 

In the summer of 2020 we celebrated 125 years of organized milk recording in Denmark. 

Two individuals were very important for the start in 1895. Niels Pedersen who saw the need and had the visions, and Emil Konradi, who was selected to carry out the job. Both of them had significant impact on dairy and milk production in Denmark. Pedersen through effort to improve dairies and production facilities and Konradi for his 50 years serving the recording associations and teaching young people to be valuable staff to farmers organization.
