Cattle Husbandry Research Institute for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food
Economically, ecologically and socially sustainable dairy and beef production is our focus. Through production, digestibility and balance trials, we evaluate feed, fodder, new feedstuffs and additives. Using open-circuit chambers, we study reduction of emissions (methane) and excretion (N, P). Animal health and welfare are studied. We optimize dairy and beef quality, develop innovative housing systems and perform on-farm research.
