Article Abstract

The Federal Republic of Germany was the last European Country without a drug legislation and a law about drug advertising until the 1960s. Therefore, a broad medical subculture flourished. Various dealers sold drugs and instruments for curing psychosomatic illnesses, especially anti-impotence pills or aids to reduce weight. Thus, the interested client could treat himself/herself without visiting a physician or a pharmacy. Some physicians tried to reduce this grey market, but they were not successful.

Increasing droughts adversely affect grasslands, diminishing the availability and quality of forages for ruminants. We have recently shown that mixed ensiling of drought-impaired grass (DIG) with sugar beet pulp (SBP) improved the conservation and feed value of silage. The application of silage additives may further improve the ruminal degradability, which may thereby shape the fermentation and microbiome in the rumen when those silages are tested as part of dairy diets.
