Grazing Management for Dairy Cows and Sheep in Mountain Areas Reducing Concentrate Use
Reducing concentrate use in mountainous dairy and sheep farming through mixed grazing and organic practices
or
Detail description
Organic farm in South Tyrol integrates dairy cattle and Lacaune sheep in sustainable grazing systems, emphasizing reduced concentrate use since 2016. Mixed grazing lowers parasite pressure, while barn-drying systems produce high-quality roughage, supporting organic hay milk production. The farm, part of a professional agricultural school, relies on suitable breeds, ample grazing areas, and market access for organic products.
