Development of analytical methods on basis of liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry for comprehensive metabolite profiling of crop and wild plants (Project)
In the frame of this project analytical methods on basis of ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UHPLC/ESI-QTOFMS) will be developed, which allow comprehensive metabolite profiling of selected crop plants (e. g. oil seed rape, potato, wheat, mustard, onion) and wild plants (e. g. Barbarea vulgaris, Zataria multiflora,...

Sustainable winter oilseed rape cultivation through breeding improvement of the NUE and optimization of the cultivation system (Project)
The project pursues the hypotheses that both the individual factors i) genotype, ii) fertilizer form and iii) sowing technique, but especially a coordinated combination of the factors mentioned, can influence the reduction of N-balance surpluses at the same or even higher yield. Therefore, the project will identify more nutrient-efficient winter oilseed rape hybrids and investigate the...

Breeding resistance in potatoes against the American introduced pests Leptinotarsa decemlineata (Colorado potato beetle) and Epitrix spp. (Project)
The project aims to develop and adopt innovative procedures and strategies for the sustainable control of Colorado potato beetles (Leptinotarsa decemlineata) and American potato flea beetles (Epitrix cucumeris und E. papa) to improve plant health in potatoes. The focus is on a new integrative understanding of the complex mechanisms of resistance to the regulated pests to advance the development...

Optimization of a weed management process in field vegetable cultivation with a sprayable mulch material based on renewable raw materials - Harvest yield determination (Project)
In field vegetable cultivation, herbicides and plastic films are used for weed control. However, herbicides and microplastics can harm ecosystems and also affect human health. Therefore, the goal must be to reduce the use of herbicides and plastic films. A new approach involves the use of sprayable mulch materials based on renewable raw materials that decompose after their functional period. The...

Animal Welfare Xperience - Development of a virtual teaching/learning platform for better understanding of animal welfare of cattle and sheep in the context of professional training (Project)
The primary goal of the project 'Animal Welfare Xperience' is the development of a virtual teaching/learning platform for students of agricultural and livestock sciences, students of technical colleges, trainees and (hobby) livestock farmers. On the basis of an interactive, up-to-date learning map and a simulation game, current and future actors in livestock management are provided with learning...

Alternatives to CO2-stunning of pigs (Project)
The overall goal of this research project is the development of an innovative, humane gas stunning method as an alternative to the CO2 stunning, because of the leading demand of meat products, which were produced under animal welfare standards. The CO2 stunning is one of legally permitted stunning methods, but it has a disadvantage in the introduction phase. Alternatively, pigs can be stunned...

Reducing dietary nitrogen and phosphorus in dairy cow rations in late lactation: Effects on animal health, performance, nutrient excretion and emission of greenhouse gases and other environmentally relevant gases (Project)
The objective of the project is an overall view of dairy cattle farming regarding the potential of reducing nitrogen and phosphorus excretions and ammonia emissions. Different levels of crude protein and phosphorus supply to mid and late lactation dairy cows will be studied in a feeding trail. Response variables encompass feed intake, milk and milk component yield and hence metabolic status....

Development of Methodological Standards for Meaningful, Reproducible and Application-Driven Microbiome Research in Livestock (Project)
LiMBioM aims to establish for the first time standardized lab protocols and corresponding work flows as well as open source references for microbiome research in livestock, using the pig as an example. Together with accompanying documentation guidelines, this shall enable (i) the comparison of microbiome data and results from laboratories around the world, (ii) to generate reliable statistics and...
