Growing alfalfa and cereals
The agricultural department is responsible for growing alfalfa and grain crops. We use only organic fertilizers to cultivate farmland, so all livestock manure from the farm is used to fertilize the soil.
Another very important thing we emphasize is the observance of the 10-year crop rotation. We are aware that only through the development of animal husbandry is it possible to maintain balance in nature - a fundamental thing in the practice of high-performance agriculture.
Alfalfa is not only a useful plant for animals, but also a good precursor for other crops.
Combined fodder production.
From the beginning of the business, it was the idea to buy fodder for rabbits, but along the way we came to the conclusion that we have to produce the fodder on our own. In 2016, we rebuilt the building of the fodder production hall and imported the necessary equipment for the preparation of granulated fodder for rabbits. The production of own fodder offers the possibility of a more rigorous quality control throughout the production chain. The basic component of fodder is alfalfa, which we grow on our land. After increasing the capacity of our rabbit farm in 2020, we also renewed the equipment for fodder production in 2021. At the moment we have reached a closed production cycle with the following stages:
- Raw material growth (cereals, alfalfa, etc.)
- Production of combined fodder.
- Livestock breeding.
- Slaughtering and processing.
- Packaging of rabbit meat and meat preparations.
- Delivery of products to commercial networks in the country.
