Collaborative project: Influence of different farrowing and rearing systems on animal welfare, animal health and economy in pig farming - an interdisciplinary approach. Subproject 1 (Project)
Animal welfare is becoming increasingly important for government and society. Important requirements are the integrity of the livestock and the opportunity of free movement through the different life periods of the animal. During lactation most of the sows are still fixed in farrowing crates. The confined housing system prevents sows from showing different behaviors during this time, like nesting...

Collaborative project: Development of a service to improve claw health in dairy cattle by crosslinking and condensing data for animal health management - subproject 1 (Project)
The aim of the project is the development of an inter-farm support tool as an early warning system for monitoring and improving claw health on dairy farms. Information on farm specific risk factors of various sources (activity patterns of the animals, Temperature-Humidity Index (THI), findings of hoof trimming, (indirect) metabolic parameters from milk recording, stage of lactation, milk yield...

Collaborative project: Definition, recording and optimization of parameters for electrical stunning of slaughter pigs under aspects of animal welfare and meat quality - subproject 1 (Project)
In the project to optimize the manual and fully-automated electrical stunning of slaughter pigs adverse effects to meat quality should be restricted by modifications of stun parameters while ensuring that legal and professional requirements on humane stunning (efficiency, duration) are met. The applied electrical charge, simultaneously investigated with animal-based indicators, should be...

Collaborative project: Optimizing the gap switching of an orchard sprayer as a pre condition for the accurate spraying of plant protection products - subproject 1 (Project)
As part of the three year project, the main focus was to reduce the use of plant protection products in intensive horticultural production systems for ecological and economical optimization. The aim should be pursued by developing sprayer prototypes equipped with improved sensory gap detection. During the project, three sprayers with different fan types were equipped with optimized sensors,...

Collaborative project: Measuring system for an automated early diagnosis of lameness in cattle through analysis of the sound of movement in cattle - subproject 1 (Project)
Animal welfare is one oft he most important quality indicators in livestock production for many consumers and of rapidly growing social relevance. Still measuring animal welfare can be quite difficult. An important factor for animal welfare in cattle farming is the detection of lameness, which is caused by diseases of the claws and limbs. The aim of this project is therefore to develop a system...

Autonomous robot platform for planting, care and long-term mapping of Christmas tree cultures (WeBaRo) – subproject 1 (Project)
Conventional Christmas tree cultivation is very labour-intensive and is also characterised by a high use of pesticides during rearing. In terms of sustainable and economic cultivation, both factors can be seen as a major challenge. In order to meet these challenges, the WeBaRo project is developing and testing a cost-effective, autonomous robot carrier platform that enables resource-saving,...

Developing an advanced load cycle test for automatically charged wood boilers to assess real life performance - subproject 1: Coordination and preparation of market introduction (Project)
Based on previous research, the cycle test project develops a test stand method for evaluating efficiency and pollutant emissions of automatically charged boilers which apply pellets or wood chips as fuel. The method is based on a load cycle which shall proportionally reflect all load levels of a typical user pattern in a full year. In opposition to the testing procedure as defined in the...

Collaborative project: Digital management support systems for small and medium-sized enterprises in value chains of ornamental plants, perennials and cut flowers - subproject 1 (Project)
The PlantGrid project aimed to develop a digital management support system for small companies in the value chains of ornamental plants, perennials and cut flowers. The project showed that modern machine learning algorithms can be effectively used for forecasting the sales of individual ornamental plants and the turnover of companies. Additionally, digital tools are helpful for organising...

Collaborative project: Maintenance of open landscapes through target-oriented habitat and wildlife management – integrating free-ranging red deer in open land management. Subproject 1 (Project)
The existing variety of ecologically important habitats and communities in Central-European cultural landscapes is largely the result of historic, extensive types of agricultural land-use systems. The constant, long-term use and formation of these areas through humans is a vital base for biological diversity in present-day cultural landscapes. Substantial changes in land-use systems have made it...
