Collaborative project: Establishment of steady partnerships for sustainable supply of renewable raw materials for German enterprises, subproject 1: Project coordination and design of a commodity partnership (Project)

Establishing steady and sound raw material partnerships between countries producing renewable resources and countries having a high demand in raw material shall lead to a certain independency of price increase and will assure long lasting benefits for both sides, on one hand by possibilities for additional income and on the other hand by a certain market independency as well as stability of...

Collaborative project: Development of an unmanned helicopter as an environmentally friendly and drift-reducing spraying device for grape-vines in steep-slope viticulture - subproject 1 (Project)

It is the aim of the project to develop a small unmanned autonomously flying helicopter (maximum take-off weight up to 150 kg) for the application of pesticides in steep-slope viticulture. During this project the helicopter will be evaluated in regard to economic aspects and labourefficiency, as well as application quality and the resulting biological efficacy of the plant protection measures. By...

Collaborative project: Development of innovative plant-derived feed additives for the improvement of animal health and efficiency in the production of animal foodstuff - subproject 1 (Project)

The aim of the research project is to develop innovative plant-based feed additives. Thus, so far under-utilized by-products of mango fruit processing are sustainably exploited, and their nutritional effects shall be thoroughly characterized. Digestive processes are expected to be stabilized, animal health to be improved and nutrient and resource exploitation to be enhanced. These outcomes are...

Collaborative Project: Development of innovative process integrated microbiological stage control systems for the reduction of Campylobacter spp. and Salmonella spp. in meat production - Subproject 1 (Project)

The commercial success of meat and meat products in national and international markets depends on the production of healthy foods under proper hygiene conditions. Therefore, the Federal Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Consumer Protection (BMELV) initiated a program to promote innovations for the enhancement of meat quality. One task of this program addresses the reduction of Salmonella and...

Collaborative project: Development of antimicrobial packaging solutions for the self-service area to improve safety and shelf life of meat and meat products – Subproject 1 (Project)

The aim of the project Safe-Pack was to develop novel antimicrobial packaging solutions to increase the quality, shelf life and safety of meat and meat products and to reduce losses. Therefore, intrinsically antimicrobial (SAM®) polymers were further developed for use in plastic trays, absorbent pads and foils in the meat industry. A detailed characterization of the new materials regarding their...

SPP 1090 AG 1: The quantitative importance of ligand exchange, cation bridging and van der Waals forces in stabilizing organic matter by coupling to mineral surfaces (Project)

The overall goal of this proposal is to determine quantitative andqualitative relationships between carbon sequestration and clay mineralogy. The idea behind the project is that a extended period of fertilizer depletion combined with continued nutrient removal through plants will lead to changes in organic matter composition as well as to changes in the clay minerals assemblage (mainly through...

Collaborative Project: Terahertz Measurement for in vivo analysis of drought stress in crops: Optooelectric measurement tool for selective breeding and cultivation – Subproject 1 (following project) (Project)

For any plant a sufficient supply with water is essential. Alack of water leads to drought stress and heavy loss of growth. Up to date, the selection of drought resistant crop plants required a cumbersome analysis of the water content and the resulting drought stress reactions. Moreover, the living plants had to be destroyed for the measurements. The authors developed a unique device for use in...

Collaborative project: New approaches for a genetic improvement of health traits of the dairy cow with a focus on the neo-partus period - Subproject 1 (Project)

Todays dairy cows have reached an enormous production potential and therefore the focus of breeding goals is shifting away from production traits towards health traits that still need genetic improvement. Modern breeding programs could better reflect these conditions if new approaches to record field data would be used more effectively. When recording systems have to be implemented afresh, it has...

Collaborative project: Innovative methods of trait recording in dairy cattle as a basis of the modern breeding program of the Nord-Ost-Genetic – Subproject 1 (Project)

Today, the improvement of health and functional traits has become a key issue in dairy cattle breeding. However, it is still the case that traditional recording schemes hardly supply any precise data for these important traits as are required for reliable progeny tests of bulls. On the other hand, a concise collection of such data is possible by using contract herds which are attached to the...

Collaborative project: Assessing performance in relation to animal health and welfare and their economic implications based on an aggregated indicator concept in dairy production. Subproject 1 (Project)

"Animal welfare in livestock husbandry is an important societal issue. In dairy farming, production diseases and the short life of dairy cows are the main reasons of concern. They indicate an overstrained capacity of the animals to cope with their living conditions as well as of the farm to meet animals' needs. In the “Tier-Wirt” project, a concept for the data-based evaluation of ""animal...
