Organic dairy farming - why?


Ecological and therefore sustainable cattle breeding must be geared towards high life performance and good fitness of the animals. Healthy cows that, above all, efficiently refine the company's own grassland feed (pasture feed, hay, grass silage, etc.) that cannot be used directly by humans are necessary. Breeding not only influences performance, feeding, animal health, animal husbandry, animal welfare, product quality and the economics of cattle farming, but also has significant influences on our environment.
