Organic ruminant health

Conducting experiments on the effects of various factors on the animal health of ruminants on organic farms. The areas of hygiene, parasites, stable climate, husbandry, animal nutrition, environmental influences and synergy effects through greater biodiversity on the farm are taken into account.

  • Carrying out research projects on farm management with increased parasite loads (pasture, prophylaxis, therapy)
  • Research into interactions between host, parasite and environment
  • Investigations into questions about alternative healing methods and their application
  • Laboratory studies of clinically relevant parameters regarding metabolic processes and fertility
