Wildlife, Algae | Saves wildlife in this ingenious way:

(Mass Newspaper 🙂 – We were incredibly happy when we found the first calf. Then the three elders lifted each other up.

That’s what Doc Tu, Lars Arne Petersen and Peter Christian Saltnes say. Now that farmers are in the middle of the haystack, they are dedicated calf rescuers.

Petersen and Saltnes are sitting outside in a field near Ryge Church. They both sit on camp chairs and watch a small screen in their hands. They wear orange clothing with drone pilot written on the back.

Meaningful service

– The drone has an infrared camera, so now we sit and look for heat signals on the screen to find out where the deer calves are, Petersen says as the drone flies back and forth a good distance off the ground.

Save the calf

This is an offer under the auspices of the Agricultural Management at Moss and Råde, and the “drone team” are our contractors through the Wildlife Management at Moss and Råde. All of them have received courses and certification in the use of drones known as A2 – in addition to wildlife expertise, among others, wildlife management in municipalities.
This measure is an animal welfare measure, but it is also a good measure to prevent contamination of livestock feed, which in addition to spoiled feed can also result in disease – or in extreme cases, death in animal herds as a result of bacteria. /Infection through food.
We send out an offer to all grass producers before the season where we refund their interest. This is a free and limited offer.

At 04.00 the day begins for Craftsman Du, Firefighter Peterson and semi-retired and drone pilot Saltness. They start the day earlier because it is easier to see roe deer calves when the surroundings are not heated by the sun.

– If you see something lying in the grass, stop the drone, zoom in and check carefully. If we’re still in doubt, we go out and test the grass, says Peterson.

Peter Christian Saltness tells the background with great interest as to why Moss and Rad sit on the sidelines of the stadium all June.

– First, it has grown into a national voluntary initiative for animal welfare. Last year, according to unofficial statistics, more than 500 deer calves were saved thanks to this heat-seeking drone. Back then, there were only eight teams like us at the national level. This year there are 25-30 teams, so we expect more numbers this year, he explains.

Roe deer calves are usually born in late May and early June. Their natural instinct is to lie still in the grass to avoid danger while their mother is around to graze. According to the report, she visits the calf for short periods to nurse, nurse and provide social interaction Institute of Veterinary Medicine.

But during this period the farmers are also ready for harvest. This is a great danger for a suffocating calf, which is incredibly well hidden in the tall grass. Many roe deer calves die a gruesome death in collisions with mowers.

He has saved many calves

– In addition to saving calves, Saltness says that if calf carcasses end up in feed, it goes beyond feed to farmers.

He and the rest of the gang are volunteers who want to save as many calves as possible. In the Swamp District, 33 grass farmers are registered, 14 of whom said they would like the help of a drone team to spot calves before calving.

– We are doing well and will probably have work until the end of June. So far we have found five rescued calves. What we do is put on gloves and go directly under the drone and start looking in the grass. If there was a calf lying there, we looked earlier for a place to carry it. A safe place where they can’t disturb anything, Saltness explains.

Then they put the red plow where the discovery was made, so that the farmer could get out of the machine and make sure it didn’t go back.

EUB’s pharmaceutical collaboration

EUB collaborates with Amedia.

The exchange of goods is a part of this agreement.

Therefore, EUB will from time to time publish content produced in whole or in part by other newspapers, which we believe is relevant to our readers.

The case was first published in an Amedia newspaper or another newspaper cooperating with the group.

– Mostly the farmer is also involved in this. The next day the whole family was there, even the farmer’s grandchildren. Besides doing something useful, flying a drone is actually quite a bit of fun. Especially if you see an animal, Dag Thu, Lars Arne Pettersen and Petter Kristian Saltnæs conclude.
