Research interests:
- By-product utilization
- Environmental impact of ruminant production systems
- Mitigation of greenhouse gasses
- Forage quality and ensiling
Research project:
In the joint research project “FuLaWi”, we are investigating how foliage can be used as alternative feed source for sheep and goats. As part of our work package, we are examining how tree foliage can be preserved through ensiling and how a higher proportion of shoots, which can be expected after mechanical foliage harvest, affects overall feed quality. The focus of our investigation will be on foliage from willow and poplar species.Project page
