Collaborative project: Strategies to avoid boar taint during fattening of entire male piglets - subproject 8 (Project)

...Therefore 775 performance tested intact boars (Pi x F1) as well as the purebred sires (Pi) were genotyped with the SNP60 Illumina Bead Chip and phenotyped. ...Accuracies ranged between 0,65 and 0,70. In order to verify the gs-breeding values 162 AI-sires were mated with crossbred dams. 2946 intact boars were fattened and phenotyped for boar taint. Calculated heritabilities were on a high level (h2: 0,4-0,6). Furthermore it could be shown that the frequency of tainted carcasses can be reduced significantly by the selection of boars based on gs-breeding values....

Investigations in vitro on structure-activity-relationship with respect to a teratogenic potential of flavouring substances (Project)

...The purpose of the project is to screen for a possible teratogenic potential of certain flavour-ing substances (e.g. 2-methyl-2-propenoic acid, 2-methyl-2-butenoic acid and 2-methyl-2-pentenoic acid) and natural food ingredients structurally related to the known teratogen val-proic acid. ...Inhibition of histone deacetylases as analysed by Western blot and F9 cell differentiation as investigated in a reporter gene assay were used as indicators for a terato-genic potential. ...

Effects of early experience as pullets on the nest height preferences of adult laying hens (Project)

...Aim: Do young pullets learn their preferred nest heights? Raising: week 1-10: standard litter floor with perches that equals subsequent nest heights 1+3, but without nests (one big groups of 72 hens; 36 LSL, 36 LB) week 11-20: rearing in 4 treatment groups (each group is housed in a 2*2m compartment with 14 pullets in total, of 7 LSL and 7LB) Group 1: has nests at height 1 (near floor, see Krause & Schrader, 2018; level 3 closed) Group 2: has nests at height 3 ( see Krause & Schrader, 2018; level 1 closed) Group 3: has nests at height 1 and 3 (see Krause & Schrader, 2018) Group 4: no nests open (level 1 and 3 closed; see Krause & Schrader, 2018) Always single nests are used! From week 24 on (thus layer stage): Hens of the 4 groups get mixed up and are housed in two of the previous compartments (i.e. 2 compartments of 2*2m (-Nest) with 28 hens in). In these groups hens have nests at the levels 1 AND 3! In the other two compartment tests areas are installed as in Krause & Schrader 2018 to test individually nest height preferences of hens. ...

Collaborative Project: Development, characterization and breeding of parsley-lines (Petroselinum crispum) with resistance to the agent of Septoria leaf blotch (Septoria petroselini) – Subproject 1 (Project)

...The necessary crossing method for the transmission of Septoria resistance from gene bank accessions was developed successfully. The F1 progenies have high levels of resistance similar to resistant standard. Inbreeding depression in parsley was determined for the first time with 27 to 53 % for fresh mass of I3 lines in comparison with the respective initial population. F1 bastards of the combination resistant I2 line x high yielding variety were back crossed to the high yielding variety. ...The breeding activities necessary up to registration of the first Septoria resistant variety will be continued by the project partner N.L. Chrestensen....
