What Israeli Dairy School Dairy Farm Training. Learn Advanced Dairy Herd Management in extreme conditions does

The Israeli Dairy School, operated as a trademark of Lotem Pharma Ltd, is a professional dairy farm training organization founded in 2010 in northern Israel (Alon Hagalil, Nazareth). It delivers fee-based, all-inclusive training programs on more than 30 active commercial dairy farms in Israel, covering 50+ professional topics including herd management, dairy nutrition, fertility, heat stress management, veterinary care, udder health, milking technology, goat and sheep farming, and milk processing. The school serves individual dairy professionals, farm managers, veterinarians, nutritionists, feed companies (e.g., Trouw Nutrition, Elanco), cooperatives, processors (e.g., Schreiber Foods, Uni-President), and government agricultural ministries (e.g., Cyprus, Denmark via SEGES, Hokkaido), and has trained more than 1,000 participants from 25+ countries since inception.

The school's product is fundamentally experiential rather than technological: it does not develop proprietary software or hardware, but rather packages access to working Israeli dairy farms and a network of 50+ active Israeli dairy specialists — led by founder Ofier Langer (former VP of Afimilk, project director of Vietnam's $1.2B TH Milk project) — to teach commercially proven methods including heat stress cooling systems, Total Mixed Ration (TMR) feeding, robotic milking, and real-time herd monitoring. Programs are delivered via a portfolio of 11 core courses, with specialized tracks for groups, feed companies, European professionals, and an annual summer seminar.

Revenue is generated through professional services fees for individual enrollment, customized group/corporate contracts, and on-site accommodation. Distribution is inquiry-based with no online self-service enrollment; go-to-market relies on a multilingual website (12+ languages), social media, email marketing with a free e-book lead magnet, industry publication features (Hoard's Dairyman, Dairy Industries International, Farmers Guardian), and referral partnerships with global dairy organizations. The company is privately held under Lotem Pharma Ltd with no disclosed external funding, 5 core employees, and a flexible extended instructor network.
