Sustainable, N-efficient and GMO-free feeding on dairy farms in Schleswig-Holstein
Project
Project code: EIP-Agri-SH-2015-TDPD01
Contract period: 01.01.2015
- 31.12.2017
Budget: 164,708 Euro
Purpose of research: Applied research
Keywords: animal husbandry, fertilisation, product/service
The feeding of Schleswig-Holstein dairy cows is constantly calculated and optimized by specialized advisors and experts of feed suppliers. A question that arises when implementing diets with reduced protein content but not yet answered and analyzed is: How much protein requires the dairy cow really or how can we make the feeding more N-efficient? The OG Milk - feed & feeding aims with the innovation project to contribute to the efficient use of protein feed for dairy cows. The reduction of protein content in the total ration leads to decreased nitrogen excretion via the liquid manure and therefore to a reduction of nitrate loads from animal excrement into the environment. Feed protein of this project should also increasingly come from native production to guarantee a GMO-free feeding for the consumers.
