Pasture grazing and milking robots
Pasture-based farming plays a particularly important role in organic agriculture. However, milking robots are also gaining in importance here. Current research and examples demonstrate that this technology can work well with pasture-based farming...
Modern electric fencing technology - short version
When grazing is practiced intensively, the demands on the fence also increase. Fencing systems must be designed to ensure maximum containment security with moderate labor and material costs. The...
Properly constructing pasture access roads
Dairy cows kept on pasture need to be moved from the pasture to the barn and back again twice a day. Therefore, it makes sense to construct animal-friendly access routes. These routes should be cost-effective and time-saving...
Changes in manure patterns on a short-grass pasture (video)
