Under the motto " Rethinking Manure Management !?", HBLFA over 80 farmers gathered at the Raumberg-Gumpenstein on Friday, September 1st, to engage in in-depth discussions with researchers on this topic. The event was organized and conducted by Alfred Pöllinger-Zierler and his team in cooperation with the Liezen District Chamber of Agriculture , the Machinery Ring , and the Landmarkt Technik Center in Aigen

In the introductory presentation, the topics “Value of manure”, “Ammonia reduction regulation and necessary measures for agriculture”, “Manure separation – opportunities and limits” and, above all, the topic “Near-ground manure application – what needs to be considered” were analyzed and presented in a practical manner.

Following this, the topics were discussed in a station-based format

  • Long-term manure trials at the HBLFA,
  • Agricultural engineering solutions for manure treatment and application and
  • Manure additives – what they can and cannot do, presented.

The complex of questions surrounding manure separation – sense or nonsense? – was practically demonstrated after the lunch break, and the possible applications were critically discussed.

In the afternoon, the field demonstration included a demonstration of semi-automated soil sampling by the machinery ring and the various distribution techniques using Duplo nozzle, Schleppfix and slurry hose application on the test field.

Eighty-five interested farmers received comprehensive information on the current challenges associated with modern manure management. Detailed information is provided below, and the presentation "Manure Management - Rethinking It?!" can also be viewed and downloaded below. We thank BK Liezen, the Machinery Ring, and the Landmarkt Technikcenter Aigen for their excellent cooperation and support.
