General Information

What is mixed farming

  • agrarian system that comprises farming along with the raising of livestock simultaneously

Intensive commercial Farming

  • various types of agriculture
  • involve higher levels of input and output per unit of agricultural land area

Intensive Agriculture

Intensive Animal Farming

Characteristics of agricultural part of mixed farming:

  • industrial crops(sugar beet, hops, tobacco or flax)

  • 90% land used for agriculture (crop rotation in order to keep soil fertile)

  • cereal + vegetable production (own consumption) + hay, alfalfa, clover, etc.(livestock consumption) + cereal production, wheat, maize, etc. (commercial sale)

  • mechanised (tractors, harrowers,thrashers, etc.)

  • large-scale use organic/inorganic fertilisers
  • higher stocking density than usually
  • highest output at the lowest possible cost
  • Main Product -> meat, milk, eggs for human consumption

The example chicken:

  • main focus on egg production ->meat was just a sideproduct
  • eggs where produced in large egg ranches

->increasing egg size and production

->1900 83 eggs per year

->2000 300 eggs per year

Advantages and Disadvantages

Advantages

Disadvantages

  • Use of animal waste as Fertilizers
  • Use of agrarian waste as animal

food

  • highest outcome at low input
  • Large profit range

Solutions

  • need for Fertilizers
  • highly dependent on the market
  • soil erosion
  • inadequate/ uneven distribution

of rainfall

  • lack of Vitamin D due to huge indoor cages and production during the off season ( winter)
  • Bad conditions for animals:
  • tiny space->maximum output with smallest space
  • higher risk of disease and infections
  • Methods against Erosion by water

-> mulch, Terracing, etc.

  • Reduce mass Prduction

-> higher costs-> higher Quality -> less/no animal abuse
