Influence of management on the roughage quality of practical farms
The follow-up project in the area of hay quality serves to improve the data situation in order to be able to secure the quality potential of hay ventilation drying against soil drying and other management effects. The extended...Influence of new stretch film technologies
Influence of new stretch film technologies and number of wrapping layers on fermentation losses, fermentation feed quality and aerobic stability of grass silage in round bales Barrier films have a 100-fold lower oxygen permeability...Influence of different stretch films on the feed and fermentation quality of silage round bales
The use of multi-layer thin-film stretch films is promoted by manufacturers for ecological and economic reasons. The testing of different stretch films of different film thicknesses is intended to show to what extent the factor...Roughage quality on Austrian farms
The quality orientation of hay milk farms requires effective measures to improve quality. With the Praxishay project, the database of hay samples with chemical laboratory values and management indicators was significantly expanded in order to...Influence of different quality of bale sealing on the feed and fermentation quality of grass silage round bales
Six different stretch films with different adhesive strengths were tested under practical conditions to check possible effects on fermentation feed quality.Quality assessment of Austrian grass silage and silage maize from practical farms
The connection between the feed and fermentation quality of grass and corn silages and the management of the companies was examined. The data from the silage project were used to create consulting documents that highlight quality problems and...Evaluation criteria for a location-adapted and production-oriented management intensity of permanent meadows in Austria
In addition to the classic evaluation of dry matter yields, qualitative and ecological criteria such as crude protein, digestibility and biodiversity should serve as a benchmark for evaluating the optimal management intensity of...Testing the pickup rake technology with regard to earthy forage contamination, raking losses, swath shape and area performance
When harvesting forage, swath work is often responsible for forage contamination or problems with the effectiveness of the harvesting chain. The practical test of a pickup rake prototype is intended to be compared to a...
