Grenzen und Möglichkeiten der ökologischen Rindfleischerzeugung in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern

Abstract

Beef cattle farmers (single suckling or feeder cattle) must spend special attention to aspects of breeding, management and selling to guarantee a marketable ecological beef production. These criterions are decisive: 1. The guarantee of excellent quality of forage is the base of ecological beef production. 2. The single suckling must be adapted on habitat to produce store cattle by using combined pure-breeding and cross-breeding programmes. 3. The beef production must be adapted on forage situation of the farms to use the advantages of bulls, bullocks and heifers in production of quality beef
