"The animal gives the true result, not the analysis!"
Gut Hülsenberg is bought and developed into an agricultural study farm. At that time, universities could hardly provide sufficient stable space and animal numbers for practical trials. SCHAUMANN can now closely link production and research. Results follow quickly.
Birth of the SCHAUMANN Feed Consulting Service
Almost 50 certified farmers were prepared in Hülsenberg for the task of bringing knowledge and methods into practice. At the same time, they gave feedback to product development on the status of the farms.
