Lamb fattening is largely carried out in stables and fed concentrated feed components. Concentrate feed price trends may reduce the profitability of lamb meat production. Pasture feed is...
The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of supplementary feeding of a herbal mixture on parasitic egg excretion (EPG) and the color of the eyelid conjunctiva in goat fawns grazing on short-grass pasture.
The effects of lime fertilization on the parasitic burden on pastures are discussed in different ways in practice. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of a one-time lime fertilization or the effects of regular...
Goat farming in Austria has experienced a positive trend in recent years. Pasture farming poses problems for many goat farmers because goats are very picky about their feed intake and are sensitive to climatic influences...

Odor emissions from agriculture are a very current issue and are always a starting point for conflict. In this context, manure in particular has to contend with a very negative image in society. A long-term...
This project aims to develop instructions for implementing graduated meadow construction at the farm level for advice and for interested farm managers. Until now, this concept was that a meaningful connection...
Ruminant animals make a significant contribution to the food supply through their ability to consume feedstuffs rich in structural carbohydrates that humans cannot digest. Increasing individual animal performance and more intensive feeding strategies...
