Upscaling efficient alternatives for contentious inputs in organic farming (Project)
Achieving food safety and security while preserving the natural resources is a central aim of the European Union’s (EU) Farm to Fork strategy (F2F). Promoting and increasing organic farming in EU to at least 25% of the agricultural land by 2030 is key to support the F2F and biodiversity strategies’ objective. However, organic farming still relies on the use of certain contentious inputs in plant...

Development of a practical method for the semi-automatic vitrification of commercially produced bovine embryos for cryopreservation in liquid nitrogen (Project)
The VitriBot project is developing a semi-automatic process for vitrifying bovine embryos. To this end, a robotic system familiar from human medicine is being adapted to the specific characteristics of bovine embryos. The aim is to cryopreserve embryos in liquid nitrogen more quickly, in a more standardized and gentler manner. In contrast to the slow-freeze method commonly used today, the new...

Establishment of semi-mobile slaughtering of domestic horses as a contribution to animal welfare in their final phase of life and to the ethical enhancement and utilization of valuable food resources (Project)
The PfeMo project aims to establish the partially mobile slaughter of domestic horses with the goal of making a safe and ethically acceptable contribution to animal welfare in the final phase of life for riding and working horses. In addition to recording existing structures, intensive knowledge transfer is intended to increase acceptance of horses as animals that provide food. In this context, a...

Direct traceability of regionally produced meat products back to the farm of origin for greater transparency in the meat industry (Project)
The project aims to verify the origin of regional meat products in a clear and tamper-proof manner using genetic data. By establishing and using a reference database of genetic profiles of farm animals from the agricultural businesses participating in the project, the authenticity and regional origin of meat products can be verified and linked to process data containing information about...

Development of a method for determining the optimal insemination time for breeding sows using image-based activity analysis, data evaluation, and calibration using vaginal mucus analysis (Project)
The aim of the project is to develop the first camera-based system for the early detection of impending ovulation in sows in order to automate heat detection in pig breeding operations. The “smart farming” camera system to be developed will use the reddening of a sow's external genitalia to perform an actual/target analysis by comparing it with reference images, thus determining the optimal time...

Vitis Leaf Hair - A new functional trait for sustainable and climate-adapted viticulture - Subproject B (Project)
In contrast to the almost hairless cultivated vine (V. vinifera), certain Vitis species have very densely hairy leaf undersides. Dense leaf hairs hinders the entry of Plasmopara viticola spores into the leaf stomata and reduces water loss through transpiration from these openings on the underside of the leaf. This means that dense leaf hairs lead to biotic (downy mildew) and abiotic (drought)...

Sustainable improvement of animal welfare and competitiveness in milk production through an innovative, market-oriented monitoring and management system based on smardtag® and HERDEplus® (Project)
The aim of the proposed project is to validate, introduce, and implement (bring to market readiness) an innovative system for the automated measurement, analysis, and evaluation of the welfare of dairy cows and the associated presentation of management recommendations for improving animal welfare, animal health, and fertility. This should increase the competitiveness of farmers and the...

Resilience of lettuce (Lactuca sativa) to climate change-induced biotic and abiotic stressors (Project)
The planned research activities will investigate the interaction triangle between Lactuca lettuce with different resistance and tolerance characteristics to biotic stressors such as phytopathogenic MO and pests, abiotic stressors and the lettuce microbiome. Accordingly, the goal of this project is to increase the resilience of lettuce to biotic and abiotic stressors. We will identify breeding...

Cooperative projekt 'Strengthening Bioenergy-regions - new system solutions (BEST)', work package IO-A4: 'Irrigation' (Project)
Short rotation coppices (SRC) in the German region Thüringer Ackerebene with low precipitation shall be irrigated using biologically clarified wastewater and shall be studied afterwards. We will use the results to establish concepts for an optimized waster water application, to assess the yield surplus through irrigation using models, and evaluate the landscape-ecological impacts of the waster...
