AHV USA and Milk Barn LLC Announce Strategic Partnership

Hilmar, Calif., April 9, 2025 – AHV USA, a global leader in innovative animal health solutions, and Milk Barn LLC, a premier dairy equipment and supply company, today announced a strategic distribution partnership aimed at improving milk quality and production for dairy producers in Maryland and Pennsylvania.

This collaboration brings together AHV’s cutting-edge animal health products and Milk Barn’s extensive distribution network and on-farm expertise. Their shared protocols will combine molecular technology and state-of-the-art cow and parlor monitoring to optimize cow health outcomes.

“Pennsylvania and Maryland are two of the original dairy production states in our country and the region produced 11 billion pounds of milk last year. Having the right partner there was critical to us,” says Kirk Vander Dussen, Managing Director of North America for AHV. “Being able to get in the parlor with Milk Barn is the perfect spot for us long term.”

“We’re excited to partner with AHV and bring this innovation to our dairy producers. Their proactive approach to herd health aligns perfectly with our mission: helping farmers keep their cows healthy and productive. We look forward to seeing the difference these products make on the farms we serve,” shared Zaman Agha, President of Milk Barn.

AHV is a first-in-class developer of feed additives that disrupt bacterial communication, also known as quorum sensing. Their proprietary molecules are third-party verified for effectiveness on all major bovine mastitis pathogens in the United States.

“The Eastern region is full of early adopters of our technology. The Mid-Atlantic area is special and faces unique milk quality challenges. You’ve got to be on the ball to make it here,” says Adam Miner, Business Development Manager at AHV. “We’ve been inspired by how Zaman’s team serves this community and are delighted to join arms with the crew at Milk Barn.”

The partnership is now active and the full AHV program is available at Milk Barn’s retail and route locations.
