Fodder grassland in Austria: Estimated use, animal density, nitrogen
and phosphorus nutrient entry and important for understanding
the huge grassland biodiversity in Austria
causing moderate grassland fodder yields
Consider the low nutrient input by livestock manure and fertilizer
for a good grassland production, that austrian dairy farmers can
even export about 30% of their milk products and beef abroad
Austrian mountainous grassland areas with 69% of dairy farms
Small agrar areas in Austria
