Objective:

The overall objective of the OG is to gather the performance potential of pasture in terms of yield and quality in the main landscape-types of Schleswig Holstein.

From this measured data, a model "smart grazing" (a forecasting tool) should be developed that is able to operate in conjunction with the predictions of the German Meteorological Service to provide real–time data on current growth rates and feed quality parameters on a high technical level (mobile app) and, together with pilot-farms, identify landscape type-specific problems of grazing and provide solutions for these.
