Innovation of the project – complex evaluation of nutritional factors including technological processes from influence of fertilization on yield and nutrition of grassland to the use of supplements for feed having Omega 3 acids and evaluating influence of technological process on productivity of livestock, quality of milk and reduction of production costs. The aim of the activity – convey farmers innovative technologies of management of grassland, feed preparation, and their economic assessment. These innovative technologies are based on research. Fields of research:
1. fertilization, evaluation of quality of feed
2. the use of extruded linseed for feed for dairy cows
It is the first project of demonstration tests during which five target groups consisting of farmers were formed the aim of which was sharing of experience.
