The Futterkamp educational and test centre is the facility for livestock breeding and agricultural construction in Schleswig-Holstein. Equipped with an extensive, future-oriented cattle and piggery as well as a construction and energy exhibition, the centre can fulfil its many tasks in the areas of agricultural education, experiments, information and public relations.
Due to the many developments in free-range farming in Germany, Futterkamp decided to set up an area with many different free-range concepts. Nooyen too has developed a freerunning concept based on the new regulations and recently exhibited it.
