Livestock: Merinoladsсhaf sheep breeding

Crop production: growing crops

About us

The research and production agricultural enterprise “El Gaucho” is located in Ternopil Region in the town of Tovste, Zalischyky District. Every year agriculture evolves in the field of crop production and focuses on the intensity technology with the adherence to maximize crop production.

Since 2018, the El Gaucho team became actively engaged in livestock farming. Merinolandschaf sheep, brought from Austria, were selected for farm breeding.

2018 was a year of renewal and modernization for El Gaucho. During this time, a new modern farm for 1,000 heads was built and the first sheep were brought there. It was also the year of joining the Ukrainian Association of Shepherds.

Breed

Merinolandschaf

European experience and the dream of sheep breeding revival in Ukraine became the key to choosing a new branch of the national economy. Merinolandschaf sheep were selected and brought from Austria for sheep breeding.

The farms were built of environmentally friendly materials. Spacious stables, enough oxygen to breath, light, and constant access to food - all for the comfort of animals!

Although Merinolandschaf sheep are not picky about food, they need a balanced diet for their growth, distinct fleshy shapes, strong body constitution, and high productivity. Therefore, for the haylage at El Gaucho, we sift only specially selected herbs, and for strengthening the animals’ immune system, we provide concentrated feed and vitamin micro- and macro-supplements imported from Austria. They do not contain harmful substances, growth stimulants, and hormones.

Rapeseed, peas, soybeans, sunflowers, wheat, corn and sugar beets. Varieties and hybrids that are relevant to Western Ukraine. We have been growing these crops at El Gaucho for more than 10 years, expanding the land bank and developing every year. To obtain high yields, we are focusing on intensive technologies, conducting product research, studying agricultural market innovations and participating in projects of leading seed companies.

Seed cleaning is carried out independently on our farm, and, before sowing, all seeds are examined for the following quality indicators:

The mass of a thousand seeds
Similarity of definition
Seed germination energy
Inflection diseases

This allows calculating the seeding rate with higher accuracy and getting a high result!

For field cultivation, we choose modern innovative equipment that will facilitate the work of operators and allow to cultivate larger areas in a shorter period.
