Farmers, who provide access to pasture for their cows are not worried, that this could reduce the performance of their cows. This applies to both, grazing farms, where grass still contributes a part to the ration of the cows as well as for farms with highly restricted grazing, where the possible intake of grass is negligible. In contrast to this, farmers with all-year housing assume that grazing would reduce the milk production of cows. We also found that the performance of the cows on grazing farms is significantly lower than the performance of cows on farms with highly restricted grazing or non-grazing farms. Moreover, cows on grazing farms are generally provided with less energ y from maize and concentrates than cows from non-grazing farms and farms with highly restricted grazing. We conclude that farmers with different management systems have different opinions on what they regard as a high milk production. While farmers from grazing farms are content with the milk production they achieve, farmers from non-grazing farms and from farms with highly restricted grazing pursue a higher milk production."],["dc.identifier.gro","3148022"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/5362"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.status","final"],["dc.notes.submitter","chake"],["dc.publisher","EGF"],["dc.publisher.place","Norway"],["dc.relation.crisseries","Grassland Science in Europe"],["dc.relation.eventend","2016-09-08"],["dc.relation.eventlocation","Trondheim, Norway"],["dc.relation.eventstart","2016-09-04"],["dc.relation.isbn","978-82-17-01677-9"],["dc.relation.ispartof","The multiple roles of grassland in the European bioeconomy"],["dc.relation.ispartofseries","Grassland Science in Europe; 21"],["dc.title","Attitudes of German grazing and non-grazing farmers towards the impact of grazing on milk production"],["dc.type","conference_paper"],["dc.type.internalPublication","unknown"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","no"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

Many consumers are in favor of grazing and there is a rising political interest to support farms, which let their cows graze. In order to understand the motivations and the constraints dairy farmers are facing, 46 German dairy farmers were interviewed. Besides questions concerning factors like farm size, milk yield or number of cows, the farmers were asked about their attitudes towards grazing. Farmers, who let their cows graze, generally judge grazing more positive than farmers from non-grazing-farms. On top of that, they denote their knowledge about grazing as good; farmers from non-grazing farms and from siesta-grazing farms describe their knowledge about grazing management as poor. Grazing farms usually have a greater proportion of grassland that is close to the farm."],["dc.identifier.gro","3148137"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/5487"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.status","final"],["dc.notes.submitter","chake"],["dc.publisher","Arbeitsgemeinschaft Grünland und Futterbau der Gesellschaft für Pflanzenbauwissenschaften e.
