| Danish researchers have investigated the possibilities to facilitate organic dairy farms with innovative technology and design, with the aim of improving grazing and grazing management (technology for grazing). Logistics, walking tracks, intelligent gates and individual behaviour sensors were investigated. Best practice examples with track coverage and practical experiments with new gates and accelerometers were implemented together with monitor farms and results described. Especially when using automatic milking systems, gates can be of help when distributing the animals among paddocks. Registration of grazing time by accelerometers can be used as decision support for dosage of supplementary feeding. Wireless contact and automatic logging of contact... |

| Use of new technology can contribute to sustainable development, but a careful assessment should be made. Using a theoretical framework, the economical, ecological and societal consequences for sustainability are assessed and translated. Selected sustainability indicators are validated though literature and evaluated by a participatory method; the focus group interview. There are no reports or references to research on organic dairy farms with AMS. By cross examining references on AMS use with organic principles and sustainability aspects, it can be foreseen that economy, eutrophication of grassland, and milk quality can be threats to sustainability. Advisors and farmers represent the stakeholders in production. There were differences in perceptions... |
