Luxury cows: Germany's first cow garden” opened in Kreischa!

in Kleincarsdorf, a small town in Kreischa, a milestone was set in German agriculture at the beginning of this week. Dresden fuel agricultural AG inaugurated the first “cow garden” in Germany. This innovative stable concept offers space for up to 630 dairy cows and 145 calves and is designed to focus on the natural needs of the animals, reports Radio Dresden .

The idea behind the cow garden comes directly from the Netherlands, where a similar concept is already successfully implemented. The stable not only impresses with its size of around 10,000 square meters, but also with its well thought -out architecture. A special roof structure and open sides promote daylight and fresh air, which improves the stable climate and reduces heat stress for the animals.

the natural approach

A particularly beautiful feature of the cow garden are the planted islands that are created in the freewheel area. These natural retreat not only improve the stable climate, but also actively contribute to the health and performance of the cows. The soil, which is referred to as the "High Welfare Floor", is soft and permeable to moisture, which offers a high level of comfort for the animals.

Another innovative aspect is the integration of robotics into daily operation. Milking, feeding and stimulation are adopted by modern robot technology. This ensures more efficient processes and more animal welfare, as well as experts in the field of robotics in animal husbandry, such as "https://www.eurotier.com/de/ program/we-inovate-animal-farming/robotik-in-der-tierenstahn"> Euro animal

challenges and opportunities

Despite the positive aspects, there were some challenges. Legal disputes with the community caused delays and increased the costs of the project. A total of around 6.9 million euros were invested in construction, with a significant part of this sum was borne by the Free State of Saxony via the funding guideline "Agriculture, Innovation, Knowledge Transfer".

Dresden Vorgebirgs Agrar AG has proven a good hand with this approach and shows how modern technologies and sustainable concepts can be successfully combined. The project takes on a pioneering role for animal husbandry in Germany and could serve as a model for future stable projects. Also on the website SID Machinas is treated with animal welfare of the future and illustrates the trend towards more animal welfare and efficiency in agriculture.
