Collaborative project: Animal Welfare Label – Development of a market-conform animal welfare program in the pork chain – Subproject 4 (Project)

The aim of the innovation project was to test, evaluate and establish a market-driven animal welfare program for pork. The implementation and further development of the Animal Welfare Label (Tierschutzlabel) criteria of the German Animal Welfare Federation proofed to be successful for the areas fattening and slaughter. An objective examination was carried out by the scientists resulting in a...

Collaborative project: High speed system for cost effective and flexible production of drip irrigation pipes from polymer materials (HOKOFLEX) – Subproject 4 (Project)

The use of water saving drip irrigation is hindered by high investment costs of the pipe systems. A cost reduction by 50 – 75 % is possible, if the productivity of the production machine can be doubled and both the costs of the machine and use of pipe and dripper material can be reduced. The throughput is limited by presently used laser technology to open the irrigation holes in the pipes. The...

Collaborative Project: Fungicide resistance in the grey mould fungus Botrytis cinerea: Identification of causes and development of anti-resistance strategies - Subproject 4 (Project)

"Botrytis cinerea is the major pathogen in German soft fruit production and needs to be chemically controlled. In recent years, B. cinerea has developed fungicide resistance which increasingly compromised fungicide efficacy. In a three years innovation project (2013-15) funded by the BMEL, field, greenhouse and laboratory experiments were performed to determine the causes of fungicide resistance...

Adaptation strategies of forest hygiene facing an increasing potential of pathogens in vulnerable regions with regard to climate change and the growing number of restrictions. Subproject 4 (Project)

Precipitation deficits caused by geographical and seasonal effects lead to a growing risk of abiotic and biotic stress for forest ecosystems (such as drought, fire, pest infestations, or disease). This effect is explicitly men-tioned in the current IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) assessment report on climate change as accelerating factors influencing the predicted emission...

Collaborative project: Definition, recording and optimization of parameters for electrical stunning of slaughter pigs under aspects of animal welfare and meat quality - subproject 4 (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...
