Collaborative project: Animal Welfare Label – Development of a market-conform animal welfare program in the pork chain – Subproject 2 (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: Site-adapted nitrogen management based on subarea specific data processing – sytem-, hard- and software solution - subproject 2 (Project)

The aim of the project is to develop a process of site-adapted nitrogen management based on new scientific insights and to introduce it in agricultural practice. The project includes both developing and applying modern information and communication techniques as well as the model-supported management of nitrogen fertilization.

Collaborative project: Development and field test of a direct injection system without delay times forpatchspraying application of pesticides - subproject 2 (Project)

The aim of the project is to save pesticides through site-specific application. This is just the situation and pinpoint application, a prototype of a direct injection system developed and tested without delay times. Thus, for example, when a sub-surface weed control only those sub-areas treated with herbicides, is recommended for those under the economic threshold concept a fight. With the...

Collaborative project: Development of a 'Heat-Exchange-Scrubber' to reduce gaseous emissions and energy consumption of pig houses - subproject 2 (Project)

The objective of this project was to contribute to a more environment-friendly and energy-efficient in pig husbandry. Therefore, a new plant technology (“exchange scrubber”) was developed. It is a combination of a trickle-bed reactor and a recuperative heat exchanger (HE) to clean exhaust air (particulate matter, ammonia, odor) and recover thermal energy for the heating of incoming supply air...

Collaborative project: Analysis and utilization of grass genetic resources for generating new diversity in fodder and amenity types – Subproject 2 (Project)

Genetic resources of the grass genera Dactylis, Lolium und Phleum were examined and utilized for the generation of novel diversity. Interspecific hybrids were generated and existing but non-characterized interspecific bastards evaluated. This resulted in the broadening of the respective gene pools in respect to agronomically important traits. DNA techniques accelerated the breeding program and...

BayKlimaFit: Strategies for the adaptation of crop plants to the climate change. Subproject 2: Improving cold tolerance of maize (Project)

Next to wheat maize is one of the most important crop plants in Bavaria. This is caused by its high biomass yield, its low susceptibility for diseases and the broad variety for its agricultural usage. On the other hand, maize is sometimes criticized, since due to late sowing and slow early growth, there is a higher risk for soil erosion, leaching of nutrients and competition with weeds. Induced...

Collaborative project: On-farm self-monitoring of animal welfare: feasibility, setting of an assessment framework and technical electronic implementation. Subproject 2 (Project)

On-farm self-assessments are legally required since 2014. The guidelines "Animal Welfare Indicators: Practical Guide – Cattle/Pigs/Poultry" which enable livestock farmers to systematically assess animal welfare on their farms, were investigated regarding their feasibility and reliability, and amended based on the results. Training courses on the contents of the guide-lines were developed to allow...
