Forest Real-World Laboratories - Experiments, Synthesis and Governance for Optimizing Natural Climate Protection in Forest Ecosystems - Subproject 3 (Project)
The project objectives are to be achieved by working on the following work packages (WP): WP1 "Establishment and demonstration of a forest living lab (FLL)". In this work package, experimental sites are established with nine fully instrumented intensive plots (I, public forest only) and up to 51 partially instrumented satellite plots (S, public and private forest). The management variants...

The development of a harmonised set of minimum criteria for the assessment of sustainable action by agricultural enterprises in key business sectors. Focus on farms with milk production, arable farming and pig farming (Project)
For years, more and more emphasis has been placed on sustainability in the production, processing and marketing of food. Nevertheless, there is still no consensus on a scientifically based and generally recognised assessment standard. For this reason, the "MinKriSet" project aims to develop a minimum set of criteria for the assessment of sustainable behaviour by agricultural companies. In the...

Establishment and evaluation of a biological control of woolly apple aphid (Eriosoma lanigerum Hausm.) in apple (Malus × domestica Borkh.) through the introduction of earwigs (Forficula auricularia L.) (Project)
Woolly apple aphids are major pests in apple cultivation. They cause cracks and galls on shoots and roots, weaken tree growth, and promote diseases. Climate change exacerbates these problems by increasing drought stress. At the same time, chemical pesticides are becoming increasingly restricted, making environmentally friendly alternatives urgently needed. A promising method for controlling...

VisioChick - Mixed Reality in the chicken house as a door opener for knowledge transfer and animal welfare (Project)
Seeing animal welfare and animal protection from the animal's perspective - this is the approach of the VisioChick project. As a first step, the basic physiological characteristics of poultry are 'translated' to enable an understanding of the animal and thus the basis for adapting the environment to the animal's needs. On the basis of modern virtual reality (VR) glasses, a change of perspective...

Perception of pain in chicken embryos (Project)
The amendment of the Animal Welfare Act of 18.6.2021 included a 'prohibition of chick killing'. The ban entered into force on 1.1.2022. It also provides that from 1.1.2024 a termination of the incubation after sex determination in the egg may take place only until the sixth day of breeding. The aim of the project is to determine as precisely as possible the point in time of the onset of...

Investigation of the early use of horses and possible measures to prevent physical or psychical overload (Project)
Within the framework of the joint project HorseWatch, the influence of the horse breed and training conditions, the age at the beginning of use and the husbandry system on the health, behaviour and well-being of horses used at a very early age in riding and racing is to be evaluated. A consortium of proven specialists has been formed for this purpose in order to be able to fundamentally assess...
