Comments on sustainability

Through the lengthening of the vegetation period and a higher risk for drought in summer and extreme weather events, there is a need to adapt the grassland management. The efficiency of the grassland can be increased by adapting the cutting and grazing times of the different grassland plots. It has positive effects on the fodder quality and therefore on the animal production and health.
