German term

Abschleppen der Weide

German to English Tech/Engineering Livestock / Animal Husbandry Horse hygiene
This is a description for a machine that remove horse manure from pastures.

Abschleppen der Weide is a process that does not use the machine and consequently is not as effective and has disadvantages.

Here is the paragraph

Das Abschleppen der Weide hingegen verteilt den Kot und vorhandene Parasiten. Der Anteil der Geilstellen wird somit erhöht. Geilstellen einschließlich meterhoher Disteln werden sauber abgemäht und zusammen mit dem Pferdekot aufgesammelt, wodurch eine intensivere Nutzung der Weide ermöglicht wird.
