The short lawn pasture is one of the four today pasture systems usual in Europe, coins/shapes however with the activities pasture mainly the picture of the grassland use. The term short lawn pasture was coined/shaped by Swiss agrarian researcher Peter Thomet, professor at the Swiss university for agriculture in Berne Zollikofen for the field of activity grassland economy, fodder cultivation and preservation and milk production, to which this pasture form particularly recommends for the milk cow attitude. As synonyms also the terms intensive condition pasture and are used. A goal of the pasture system is it to win as much as possible milk directly from grass because grass is the fodder biligste with distance, compared to hay (expenditure and bringing in), Silage, with self-produced fodder (e.g. fodder carrots) and and only quite with bought force fodder. During long time the ever further increase of the milk production per cow, which uses force fodder, additives, partly also medicines and hormones, when only way to the economic milk production was regarded, goes Thomets system away from expensively bought maximum output per cow and to the renouncement of maximum output, is however because of the far smaller costs nevertheless economically. The short lawn pasture begins as early as possible in the year, as for a long time as possible is maintained and exercises by high animal existence a high new generation pressure on the grass. In detail the system is accomplished as follows:

Seed

With the seed of a short lawn pasture the following points are to be considered:

Suitable seed mixture use. (UFA440 and 480 in higher situations UFA481)
Topografie (as homogeneous a surfaces as possible)
Climate: = ideal

Pastures

When feasting it applies to consider the following points:

As in former times as possible beginning of pasture (starting from
Pasture size the whole year the animal existence adapt
Durchschnitliche lawn height of 7-8 centimeters consider
All beweideten surfaces within one week bestossen
sufficient water places (at least all 100 meters) as open a watering place places as possible
no fear of footstep damage v.a. in the spring

Care

Weeds under control hold
other pasture care: as much as necessary, as few as possible (minimum=maximum)
against felting, for example. Bunch grass in the summer aggressively striegeln
with large gaps: Over seed

Fertilization

With the fertilization of a short lawn pasture is to be considered:

Moderately however regularly
three to four times 30Kg N/ha
Mg-Ammonsalpeter use, in order to adjust potash surplus
In the spring of about 30 cubic meters of liquid manure per hectare
Phosphorus in easy-soluble form use
surface one week auszaunen or for liquid manure with liquid manure injector yield
Yield for with forthcoming rain

Parasite

increased risk for stomach intestine of worms and lung worms
Young animals in arrangement with the veterinary surgeon inoculate
The short lawn pasture and the activities pasture are equally endangered for parasites

Classification

The global grass land surface (also grassland called) corresponds to the forest surface and is twice as large like the global area of arable land. The economic use of this surface takes place predominantly via aminal husbandry. As far as this takes place via direct attitude of the animals on the surface, this is done via different pasture systems. The question of the optimal use of grass country in agrarianeconomical faculties is investigated by chairs for grassland economy.
