Excursion to Relliehausen experimental farm

The team from the Animal Nutrition Physiology and Resource Efficiency Department gained interesting insights into current projects during a visit to the Relliehausen experimental farm in April. The tour, which lasted several hours, included the cattle and pig stables and the newly constructed building for fish research. The employees learnt a lot about biogas and district heating production and were lucky to be able to see the sheep graze for the first time.

The Relliehausen agricultural estate, located on the eastern edge of the Solling near Dassel, has been used as an experimental farm for animal breeding and husbandry since 1966. Its tasks include teaching, research and demonstrations for the Department of Animal Science and others.
