Grazing enhances immune parameters and complete blood count in calves

Seventy-two calves, distributed into three genotypes (Brown Swiss [BS], Limousin × Brown Swiss [LB] and Swiss Fleckvieh [SF]), were used in an extensive fattening trial from the fourth to the sixth month of life. Each farm included six calves of each …

Le pâturage améliore les paramètres immunitaires et l’hémogramme des veaux

Soixante-douze veaux mâles, issus de trois génotypes (Brown Swiss [BS], Limousin × Brown Swiss [LB] et Swiss Fleckvieh [SF]) ont été utilisés dans le cadre d’un essai d’engraissement extensif entre le quatrième et le sixième mois de vie. Six veaux de …

Weidegang verbessert Immunparameter und Blutbild von Kälbern

Je 24 männliche Kälber dreier Genotypen (Braunvieh [BV], Limousin × Braunvieh [KR], und Swiss Fleckvieh [SF]) wurden in einem extensiven Mastversuch vom vierten bis zum sechsten Lebensmonat eingesetzt. Je sechs Kälber jedes Genotyps wurden als …

Re-Livestock

The overall objective of Re-Livestock is to understand and mobilize adoption of innovative practices, applied cross-scale (animal, herd/farm, sector and region), to reduce the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of livestock farming and to increase the capacity for dealing with climate change impacts, in order to ultimately increase the overall resilience of the livestock sector.

Pasture lab - Weidelabor

This project aims to study the effect of four grassland mixtures on the productivity, nutritive value and palatability of the grass. To this end, we measured before every grazing rotation the yield, the nutritive value, the tannin content and the botanical composition.
