The first meeting of the Austria-wide practical group “Cow-bound calf rearing in dairy farming” took place in December 2024 at the Bio-Institute of the HBLFA Raumberg-Gumpenstein at Moarhof. At the beginning, the project was presented by the practice group moderator for Austria, DI Jakob Gadermaier from Bio Austria Upper Austria. After the presentation of the participating companies, a tour of the stables at Moarhof took place. Following this, the challenges of cow-based calf rearing were identified and solution ideas and innovations were developed from these. The colleagues at the HBLFA Raumberg-Gumpenstein will devote more of their research to this topic in the future and would like to thank you for the good cooperation in the practice-oriented working group .
