Who we are
Team Dairyconsult
Albart Coster
My name is Albart Coster. It is my conviction that a good counselling is important for dairy farms, and that’s why I started Dairyconsult together with Jaap. I grew up in Catalonia, Spain, and studied Animal Sciences at the Wageningen University, in the Netherlands. In my study, I concentrated on cattle feeding and selective breeding.
Meint Hofstee
Partner Dairyconsult
As a Farmers son grown up at a dairy farm in Friesland, the northern part of The Netherlands. After finishing my study at the Agricultural schol in Leeuwarden, I started working on a large dairy farm in Canada. When I returned tot he Netherlands, I took a job at a farm in The Netherlands, and over the years I grew to the function of a Herdmanager. During my work I came in contact with the Consultant Albart Coster, and more and more I was getting convinced about independent advice for dairy farms. And after 2 years working on the University Farm owned bij Wageningen UR I decided to become a full time counselor for Dairyconsult. Thats what I still do, and every day with much pleassure, and satisfaction.
Jaap van Zwieten
I grew up on my family�s farm with dairy cows and pigs in the west of the Netherlands. In this way I became interested in agriculture already at a very early age. I received a bachelor�s degree in animal husbandry. After this, I worked as a commercial consultant for a feed company serving dairy farms in the eastern part of Germany. Following my return to the Netherlands, I started working independently as a trainer and consultant advising dairy farmers and giving courses to veterinarians. To develop a better understanding of scientific research, I followed a master study in animal science with the specialisation of animal nutrition at Wageningen University. During this period, I started Dairyconsult together with Albart Coster. Since then I have I become more and more enthusiastic about independent management and nutrition advice in dairy farming.
