The Spotmix multi-phase feeding from Schauer Agrotronic is at the heart of the feeding experiments in the new pig breeding stable at the 'Obere Hardthof.' Since 1963, the Obere Hardthof, situated on the edge of Gießen, has been run by the Institute for Animal Breeding and Genetics of the Justus Liebig University Gießen.
The teaching and research institute covers approx. 276 ha of usable agricultural land (114 ha of arable land and 162 ha of permanent pastures) with an extensive animal population of pigs, cattle, sheep and poultry, and is managed on a conventional basis. The animal population is partially included in long term research programmes for the fulfilment of the research tasks.
