R4D Best Practice: Young stock weight measurement
Dirk and Griet Vandecandelaere keep 110 dairy cows. They have a very efficient young stock management. In order to control the growth of the heighers they measure their weight on a regular basis. This allows them to reach the first calving age at 24 months. Subtitles EN

R4D Webinar 10/05/23 - CAP'2ER tool and Carbon farming schemes in French livestock farms
Presentation by Elisabeth Castellan on CAP'2ER: a tool to evaluate and reduce environmmental impact from dairy farms.
The results show that enteric fermentation is the main source of GHG emissions on a dairy farm. Results show that actions such as herd and crop management could contribute to reduce these emissions.
More than 29.000 diagnoses were conducted with this tool. To encourage farmers to implement good practices, the government offers economical compensation for reducing their emissions.

Climatic friendly low cost pasture based dairy production on a mixed farm in Northern Germany
Recent intensification in European dairy production is followed by serious environmental trade-offs questioning sustainability of current confinement production systems. Pasture is considered to be the cheapest forage, however its role in continental milk production is declining rapidly. This is the background for the interdisciplinary project: “Eco-efficient pasture-based milk production” that started 2016 at Kiel University’s research farm Lindhof in Northern Germany. In this webinar Dr. Ralf Loges from CAU Kiel is presenting results from the project.
