Studies on ammonia and odor emissions from poultry farming
Protein components of feed have been proven to have a significant influence on ammonia and odor emissions from livestock farming - in practice, the resulting emissions in the neighborhood...Pilot project experimental stable: exhaust air scrubber for fattening pig stalls
From an environmental perspective, livestock farming has been in focus for some time when it comes to “the polluters” and the required reductions in airborne emissions. As is well known, ammonia...Non-invasive measurement techniques on plants
In addition to surveys of soil, nutrient and water balance in grassland, the characterization, evaluation and assessment of plant populations is particularly important. Traditional, destructive surveys like...
New technology for the stable
Several factors lead to the need to increasingly deal with new techniques for air optimization in livestock stables.Will local agriculture save conventional family businesses from extinction?
Applied research bears responsibility for stakeholders. In this sense, the HBLFA Raumberg-Gumpenstein is connected to the farms in Austria and, based on this responsibility, presents the discussion paper “Basic principles...Animal welfare, yes - but not for me
At the HBLFA Raumberg-Gumpenstein, intensive research has been carried out to reduce emissions for years. A new cooling system was tested in a short test - the focus of the investigation was on whether this new system could reduce dust...On the trail of drought
This spring was affected by severe drought in large parts of Austria. Especially at the time when the first and usually most productive growth is emerging on the grassland areas, the lack of water...Crossbreeding in suckler cows
There are currently around 200,000 suckler cows kept in Austria, which is around 27% of all cows kept in our country. Despite the relatively strong decline (2010: approx. 270,000 suckler cows; 2010-2018: >25%) since the abolition of the suckler cow premium...
