Collaborative project: Preparation of the commercialisation of call feeding for sows, Subproject 1 (Project)

Call feeding comprises an add-on device for the feeding of group housed gestating sows using electronic feeding stations. The device allows a minimisation of feeding associated fights. At the same time, the technique offers cognitive exercise to the animals. The call feeding technique is based on an automated operant conditioning that requires no human assistance. Thereby, the animals learn to...

Collaborative project: A monitoring tool for animal welfare in dairy cows. Subproject 1 (Project)

The aim of the "CowAlarm" project was to develop a monitoring system for identifying conspicuous behavioural deviations (sickness behavior) in dairy cows. For this purpose, a practical farm was equipped with commercially available sensor systems that provided serial information on activity, resting behaviour, feed intake and ruminating behaviour. This information was analysed and grouped using...

Collaborative project: Development of a mating program using genomic information - subproject 1 (Project)

The aim of the gBAP project is the development of a web-based mating program for genotyped top cows and bulls. In the project, new genetic information will be derived from existing data (including genetic defects, positive genetic characteristics, variability of offspring groups), which can then be used in the mating program. Thus, the breeding progress, in which all milk producers participate,...

Collaborative project: SocialLab – Society's perception of animal husbandry - subproject 1 (Project)

The aim of the project is to understand the societal criticism towards animal husbandry and to present ways for improvements from a societal point of view. For each research question qualitative, quantitative and/or imagine methods will be combined. In the beginning fundamentals of societal perception towards animal husbandry in Germany will be analysed. Research will also focus on varying points...

Collaborative project: Diagnostic methods for sustainable protection strategies against potato wart. Subproject 1 (Project)

Potato wart, a disease caused by the fungus Synchytrium endobioticum is the most important quarantine pathogen of potatoes in Germany. As chemical control is not possible potato production is banned from infested areas for many years. Therefore, the use of varieties resistant to wart as well as various quarantine measures are the only effective strategies for disease control. The aim of the...

Collaborative project: Creating pathogen-free seeds by means of plasma treatment. Subproject 1 (Project)

A plasma treatment method for seeds to effectively eliminate pathogens like fungi and germs without using chemistry shall be developed within this project. Röber is responsible for the scaling of the treatment chamber, the assembly of test models for treatment of medium amounts of seeds as well as for bigger amounts as needed in later practice. Furthermore the performed trials will be evaluated....

Collaborative project: Sustainable packaging solutions from macroalgae for the food trade. Subproject 1 (Project)

The Mak-Pak project developed a sustainable, ideally edible or even compostable packaging prototype based on macroalgae including the controlled macroalgae cultivation on a laboratory and pilot plant scale. The selection of macroalgae for the packaging material has identified suitable green, red, and brown algae strains as raw materials. The developed land-based aquaculture system on a laboratory...

Collaborative project: Electric-hydraulic-mechanic drive train system for tractor implements. Subproject 1 (Project)

The aim of this project is a new drive train system for tractor implements which includes power transmission by mechanic, hydraulic and electric interfaces in parallel. This provides two main advantages. First, the average power rating of the implements can be extended beyond existing borders in order to achieve higher productivity of the machine combination (tractor plus implement). Second, the...

Collaborative project: Sustainable prevention and eradication of footrot in sheep - subproject 1 (Project)

The MoRes project has developed sustainable footrot elimination and prophylaxis programmes and a national breeding programme for footrot resistant sheep. Digitised recording systems can now be used for these purposes, linking electronic ear tags of the animals with farm, animal and sample data and transferring the data to other computers. Multivariable models were used to work out climatically...
