Information - Pasture farming

Grazing cattle is of great importance for grassland and mountainous regions.
Pasture forage provides farmers with the most cost-effective basic feed. Furthermore, grazing animals maintain and care for our cultural landscape.

Pasture grazing, when managed optimally, has a positive effect on animal health and strengthens their immune systems. Pasture-raised milk and meat are also characterized by high quality – for example, the levels of valuable fatty acids and vitamins are higher in these products. Grazing animals are also an important link between producers and consumers. Pasture grazing is given great importance in organic farming.

The following section of the website is aimed at all those dealing with questions about pasture management (farmers, consultants, teachers, etc.). Here you will find information, advisory documents, pictures, publications and links related to pasture management.

We want to support and promote pasture farming as an animal-friendly and sustainable method of animal husbandry.
