Collaborative project: Innovative characterisation and improvement of the feeding value of cereal grains (GrainUp) - Subproject 6: Phosphorus availability in broiler chickens and turkeys (Project)
The availability of phosphorus from cereal grains in poultry varies. It is also known that the availability of phosphorus differs between broilers and turkeys. In this project, therefore, standardized measurements for availability of phosphorus will be carried out with both species. Based on the results, estimation methods shall be derived that allow the prediction of the P availability for the...

Collaborative project: Innovative characterisation and improvement of the feeding value of cereal grains (GrainUp) - Subproject 9: Protein and energy value of cereal grains in ruminants as a result of ruminal degradation of crude protein and starch (Project)
For the quantitative description of the protein and energy value of cereal grains in ruminants, extent and kinetic of the ruminal degradation of crude protein (XP) and starch are essential characteristics. Several studies have shown that ruminal degradation of crude protein and starch of grains differ between varieties. So far there are no experimental studies available to assess this variation...

Collaborative project: Innovative characterisation and improvement of the feeding value of cereal grains (GrainUp) - Subproject 11: Protein value of DDGS (Dried Distillers Grains with Solubles) in ruminants (Project)
Due to the globally rising demand and production of bioethanol also the use of by-products in animal nutrition increases, such as distillers grains, which in Germany are also known as DDGS (Dried Distillers Grains with Solubles). Variations in quality are a major cause of the previously restrained use of DDGS. Recent studies show that fiber fractions, starch, crude protein and lysine contents...

Collaborative project: Innovative characterisation and improvement of the feeding value of cereal grains (GrainUp) - Subproject Z: Central coordination and analysis (Project)
The Z-project covers the central coordination, the production and delivery of defined grain lots (State Plant Breeding Institute), the central analysis (Landesanstalt für Landwirtschaftliche Chemie), the cross-project evaluation of the data and knowledge transfer to the industry partners. The Z-project ensures continuous communication between the partners and organizes project meetings. It...

DAAD-Australia project: Genetic improvement of drought tolerance in barley (Project)
Drought is a major abiotic stress that reduces agricultural crop yields worldwide. With increases in climate variability there is a need to develop new plant varieties that can withstand these adverse conditions. Achieving this is critical in maintaining food security and the sustainability of agriculture. This project therefore aims to improve drought tolerance of barley, which is a major cereal...

Roughage based feeding strategy for organic dairy goats to increase wholesome milk components for human nutrition (Project)
Objective of the project is an application of a pasture-based feeding system to increase the contents of essential fatty acids, conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), vitamin E, xanthophylls and antioxidants in goat’s milk and cheese. The concentrate ratio will be as low as possible to maximise roughage intake from pasture and hay. Goats as intermediate ruminants (IM) are predestined to select the best...

Allele mining in wild barley: finding new exotic genes which control flowering time in the barley nested association mapping (NAM) population HEB-25 (Project)
The nested association mapping (NAM) design was recently implemented in maize to tap into the wealth of genetic diversity which is available for modern crop species. A major first application of the NAM design was reported by Buckler et al. (2009), who dissected the genetic architecture of flowering time (FTi) into quantitative trait loci (QTLs) using a set of 5,000 maize NAM lines. During the...

Development of an early flowering system for poplar breeding and biosafety research (Project)
During development, plants change from a juvenile to an adult phase of vegetative growth and from a reproductively incompetent to acompetent phase. Whereas annual plants have a one-year life cycle including flowering and senescence, tree species produce flowers only after several years of reproductive incompetence. This phase, which is quite variable lasting in some tree species until 40 years,...
