Vitamin E supplementation – revised recommendations for organic dairy cow production (RELACS practice abstract)
Vitamin E is essential, and supplementation to the diet is often needed to meet the requirements of cows.

Behavioural indicators of range use in four broiler strains
Free-range systems provide an outdoor range for broilers to give them the possibility to express a higher frequency and a wider range of behaviours, such as exploration, compared with those raised indoors. Greater variability in outdoor range use between individuals of the same flock is often reported. Individual variation in range use may result from […]

Publication in “Agronomy for sustainable management” – Intensification and homogenization of agricultural landscapes have led to a strong decline in European farmland birds. Agroforestry systems, which were widespread in the past, are regaining attention as they could return structural heterogeneity to agricultural landscapes. However, few studies focus on the effects of such systems on biodiversity […]
