The research at the Waiboerhoeve involves all aspects of dairy farming. Many kinds of research are possible on the farm, varying in duration and magnitude.
In addition, the Waiboerhoeve is committed to the necessary preconditions for high-quality research: innovative farm management for feed production, livestock management and labour. In this research, the Waiboerhoeve cooperates with a wide range of external expertise partners.
Here are a few examples of current research at the Waiboerhoeve:
- Effect of concrete and rubber floors on claw health, animal activity and footing
- Research into claw trimming methods in relation to concrete and rubber floors
- Optimum harvest time for silage maize in relation to feed uptake and milk production
- Measuring NH3 emissions of various barn floors
- Feed tests for external companies
- Relationship of genomics and oestrus behaviour
- Relationship of floor hardness/standing time and laminitis with heifers
- Compost dairy barn system
