Publication Comparison of Room- and Floor Heating in Piglet Houses(2001) Büscher, Wolfgang; Kluge, Jens; Frosch, WernerAfter two years of investigations, different ventilation- and heating sy- stems for piglet houses can now be evaluated comprehensively. In additi- on to the economic viability of the variants, the lying behaviour, indoor air quality, and the emission of noxious gases have been taken into ac- count. As compared with standard fans, low-energy „EC fans“ allow electricity consumption to be reduced by an average of more than 50%. With regard to heating energy, gas burners instead of hot-water floor heating with gas boilers also enabled consumption to be reduced by more than 50%. Floor heating, however, is advantageous for the lying beha- viour of young piglets and the air quality parameters.Publication The Influence of Chop Length on Compactability, Ensiling and Undesirable Temperature in Maize Silage(2004) Wagner, Andrea; Leurs, Kristina; Büscher, WolfgangQuality losses in maize preservation due to undesirable rises in tempera- ture still cause considerable problems in the practice of dairy cattle feed- ing. These problems must be assumed to grow still more severe in the fu- ture. The aim of the present study has been to determine the quantitative interrelations between maize breed, chop length, and the degree of me- chanical processing. This article presents the experimental design, the methods and the first results of extensive research conducted in the con- text of a doctoral dissertation.
