Collaborative project: A mobile LED-laser-trap to rouse, attract, monitor, and selectively combat herbivorous insects - subproject 4 (Project)

The project aims to develop a mobile LED-laser trap for herbivorous insects. Optical, olfactory and mechanical stimuli are used to rouse winged insects from plants, attract them to the LED-trap, and lethally damage them by a laser beam. Knowledge on light color and intensity as well as combination with odors that stimulate the flight behavior of insects and their orientation is applied in order...

Collaborative project: Competence and practice research network for the further development of nutrient management in organic agriculture. Subproject 4 (Project)

With regard to nutrient management, organic farming presents a varied picture: on long-term organic arable farms, all the main nutrients are step by step declining towards the minimum, while organic vegetable farming shows nutrient imbalances and P oversupply. Moreover, there is a great deal of uncertainty in practice regarding soil analyses and their interpretation. Science understands the...

Collaborative project: Development of an intelligent Curtain-ventilation-sensor-system for optimised thermal comfort of cattle - subproject 4 (Project)

The goal is to develop an intelligent Curtain-ventilation-sensor-system for dairy cattle farming, which can be controlled with a new system control and regulation unit using a network of sensors within the stables. This way, the various functional areas as well as the micro-climatic zones within the stable environment can be systematically optimised. A new lighting technology integrated into the...

BonaRes (Modul A, Phase 2): CATCHY - Catch crops as agronomic means to ensure sustainable soil fertility and yield security - SP 2 (Project)

The main objective is to employ catch cropping for developing innovative farming systems to preserve and improve soil fertility. We aim to develop a better understanding of cause-effect relationships affecting soil fertility parameters, biological functions and interactions in soil and rhizosphere. This could also contribute to an enhancement of marginal locations. Therefore, the focus of CATCHY...

Collaborative Project: Development of innovative process integrated microbiological stage control systems for the reduction of Campylobacter spp. and Salmonella spp. in meat production - Subproject 5 (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 5 (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...

Collaborative project: New approaches for a genetic improvement of health traits of the dairy cow with a focus on the neo-partus period - Subproject 5 (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 5 (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...
