AHV wins RMV 2025 Innovation Award with StopLac

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Hardenberg, October 23, 2025 – We are proud to announce that AHV StopLac has won the RMV Innovation Award 2025 in the Animal Health category at the largest agricultural fair in the Netherlands!

Innovation in drying off: StopLac makes a difference

StopLac has been specially developed to support dairy farmers in drying off dairy cows, a critical phase in the lactation cycle. For cows, the transition can lead to stress and increased udder pressure, which in turn increases the risk of milk leakage and bacterial contamination. By reducing milk production, StopLac helps relieve udder pressure, improving the cow’s comfort after drying off. This promotes an optimal dry period, which benefits both udder health and calf development.

The product works by temporarily influencing rumen fermentation, leading to a more balanced energy metabolism and increased comfort for the cow during this period.

“Winning this award is a proud moment for everyone at AHV,” says Jan de Rooy, CEO and founder of AHV. “We exist to improve the lives of animals, and StopLac gives cows the support they need at one of the most critical times of the year. The most successful lactation starts with a stress-free dry period.”

Key benefits of StopLac at drying off

• 56% reduction in milk
• 61% reduction in udder pressure
• 1-3kg more milk per day during the first 100 days of the next lactation

StopLac fits seamlessly with AHV’s mission to strengthen the natural resilience of animals and reduce dependence on antibiotics.
