Our research activities focus on the utilization of grassland as forage for ruminants and grassland-based production systems.
Meadows and pastures are characteristic of the Swiss cultural landscape. With more than 70% of its agricultural area covered by grassland, Switzerland has the second-highest proportion of grassland within Europe. Our research activities focus on the sustainable use of this valuable local resource as feed for ruminants.
