Requirements for implementing a breeding value assessment for sheep
An objective meat performance test for sheep is the prerequisite for economical lamb meat production.
Influence of the age at first calving on milk production and longevity of dairy cows
The aim of this project is to determine the optimal rearing intensity for calves and heifers for the cattle breeds kept in Austria.
Influence of the preservation process of meadow fodder on nutrient losses, feed value, milk production and milk quality
As part of a research project to preserve meadow fodder, a modern hay drying system (frequency-controlled fan, dehumidifier heat pump, automatic control) is comprehensively equipped with the processes...
Feed intake and milk production of dairy cows kept in stables or on part-time pasture with the aim of saving protein concentrates
Due to the switch from labor-intensive portion grazing to modern intensive grazing (short turf or paddock pasture), but also because of the recently fluctuating concentrate feed and milk prices, pasture farming is proving to be quite...
