The ÖAG organic specialist group developed three new pieces of information on the topic of “grassland soils”. Soil fertility is largely determined by the biological activity in the soil. In order to maintain soil fertility in the long term...
Artificial insemination of sheep is common practice in countries with intensive sheep farming and is carried out laparoscopically intrauterine. The method is time-consuming and costly.
Because of the increase in resistance, alternatives in parasite management are being sought. An in vitro test is being carried out under laboratory conditions to determine whether grapefruit seed extract has a development-inhibiting effect on...
The journal “Agricultural and Forestry Workers HEUTE” reports on the work in the Bio-Institute of the HBLFA Raumberg-Gumpenstein with the title “Quality and Efficiency”.
When animals are kept on pasture, nuisance animals can cause distress to the animals, stress, transmission of diseases and a decline in performance. Means for repelling flies or reducing fly pressure (pour-on, ear clips, etc.) are...
Feeding appropriate to ruminants and adequate energy supply are the basis for good fertility performance. A study examined the significance of milk ingredients and blood results in this regard.
When used, harvested and distributed optimally, green fodder is very tasty, rich in protein and sugar, and contains many vitamins and valuable fatty acids. In addition, this concentrated feed helps save feed costs and it also increases...
The general conditions and knowledge about grassland have changed significantly in recent decades. On the one hand, today attempts are being made to save concentrates in ruminant feeding with the best basic feed, but on the other hand...
In grassland-based dairy farming, the aim is to achieve a high forage area output. In a three-year organic research project, full-pasture farming was compared with stable silage feeding.
