Improved beef quality by better utilization of pasture and optimized carcass handling

I dette prosjektet har vi studert hvordan ulike beiteforhold påvirker kjøttkvalitet og tilvektsthastighet for storfe. Kviger og kastrater gikk på kulturbeite og gjødslet beite, mens oksene ble foret i fjøs. Som forventet hadde oksene høyere tilvekst enn de to andre gruppene, mens det var minimal ...
