On Friday, April 26, 2024, Bio AUSTRIA, together with the HBLFA Raumberg-Gumpenstein, successfully organized the third Austrian Organic Livestock Farming Day at the Rotholz Agricultural College in Tyrol.

This high-caliber event combined the best of research and practice , offering numerous opportunities to exchange knowledge and generate new momentum for the sustainable development of organic farming . The close link between theory and practice was particularly evident in the 28 specialist stations, which focused not only on theoretical knowledge but also on practical experience.

The following seven technical presentations were competently presented by HBLFA Raumberg-Gumpenstein and discussed with the visitors.

  • It's all a matter of setting: What we should pay attention to when setting up grassland equipment. Alfred Pöllinger-Zierler
  • Systematic Success: Recommendations for Good Pasture Management of Different Pasture Systems. Johann Häusler
  • The time is now! How we can prepare our meadows and pastures for climate change. Walter Starz
  • Does it taste good? Evaluating basic feed with your senses. Reinhard Resch
  • The right sheep breed: Ideal sheep breeds and crossbreeds for lamb fattening and milk production on organic farms. Reinhard Huber
  • Modern sensor technology: Opportunities and limitations in dairy farming for herd management, heat and disease detection. Christian Fasching
  • Forage from the field: Using cover crops in arable farming as fodder. Daniel Lehner

The exchange between research institutes, associations, and farms was exemplary for cooperation within the organic sector. All participants are thanked for their commitment and participation.
