Qualitative and quantitative conditions of meat production with entire male pigs (Project)

The rejection and finally the ban on surgical castration of male piglets without anaesthesia in 2018 led to a tremendous shift in the direction of fattening entire male pigs. But a number of aspects are still unclear and drawbacks for the consumer due to odour aberration must be avoided. Therefore, the aims of this project are the development of necessary basics and advanced options for the...

Qualitative and quantitative conditions of meat production with entire male pigs - Subproject 2 (Project)

The influence of stressful conditions during transport and at the abattoir is discussed as reasons for an increased percentage of carcasses with off odour. Therefore consequences of pre-slaughter treatment of entire male pigs on androstenone, skatole and indole formation and their concentrations in adipose tissue are investigated. Skatole, indole and androstenone concentrations are measured in...

Collaborative project: Coupled optical measurement techniques for mobile determination of quality signatures along the doner meat production chain – subproject 1 (Project)

Aim of the project is the development of an innovative optical measurement method for the assessment of quality attributes of doner meat along the processing chain based on the combined determination of reflectance and fluorescence spectra. By means of novel combined spectroscopic measurements, chemometric evaluation and correlated reference analyses relevant quality indicators will be derived to...

Development and evaluation of a stress-free slaughter system for outdoor cattle - Subproject 1 (Project)

Established slaughtering systems include capture, transportation, confrontation with foreign conspecifics and eventually the delivery to the stunning box and an immobilization inside the box. All these aspects imply tremendous stress for animals. Outdoor cattle kept on free-range pastures are especially exposed to premortal strain and frequently generate handling-problems at the day of the...
