Health and animal welfare from calves and young cattle with the help of a voice-controlled app (Project)

Livestock farmers are obliged to regularly monitor the health and welfare of the animals on the farm. Due to the high effort required, there are major deficits in terms of animal welfare and health in the area of calf and young cattle husbandry, with potential effects on productivity and food quality. The aim of this project is to develop a laboratory model of a voice-controlled cell phone app...

Schleswiger Kaltblut conservation breed (Project)

The Schleswiger Kaltblut is a native livestock breed that is categorised as highly endangered in the Red List of endangered livestock breeds. In order to ensure the survival of this cultural asset of Schleswig-Holstein as a robust and versatile horse breed, modern methods for the conservation breeding of the Schleswiger Kaltblut are to be developed. A supervised questionnaire provides information...

Sustainable grain drying (Project)

This project aims to develop a concept for an overall process for drying grain using renewable energy sources (maize spindles). The objectives are to achieve higher added value through lower or stable drying costs and a more environmentally friendly and sustainable alternative to the fossil fuels that are currently mainly used. Maize spindles are not yet fully utilized and supply chains are not...

The potential of oscillating mowing technology - making mowing economically and ecologically sustainable (Project)

The ecological quality of grassland has deteriorated massively in recent decades, largely due to intensification of use. There has been an increase in oscillating mowing technology in the maintenance of nature conservation areas and green infrastructure. Due to changes in the demands on agriculture and for economic reasons, oscillating mowing technology could also become significantly more...

KI-supported detection and selective removal of infested potato plants (Project)

Concept development In this project, an autonomous vehicle with built-in tools is being developed that recognizes all virus, bacterial and fungal diseases in potatoes known in Europe by their symptoms and immediately removes the infected plants in accordance with the seed potato regulation. The greatest added value oft he project lies in replacing and supporting the dwindling number of trained...

Economic considerations of regenerative management measures (Project)

While previous studies on regenerative agriculture mainly looked at ecological and soil biological aspects, this project aims to survey practical and economic parameters. For example, the reduction of fertilizers and pesticides is not only beneficial in terms of the environment and biodiversity protection, but also contributes to the economic success of the farm. A Bavaria-wide selection of...

Development of healthy foods using a mobile field drying system with microwave technology (Project)

In agricultural production, many food products are generated that have so far only been classified as B- or C-grade and thus could not enter the value chain. This includes, for example, vegetable and fruit products. The solution approach came from microwave technology, which is patented worldwide. This technology enables the production of vegetable chips that not only taste excellent but are also...

Regionally refined by-products for overnight stays (Project)

When growing field crops, by-products are produced which have so far low added value or offer low opportunity for profitable use, such as paludi cultures on renaturalized moorland areas. At the same time, there is great potential for agriculture along Bavarian long-distance hiking trails by developing huts that can be built 100% sustainably and cost-effectively on farms. These could thus offer a...

Economical climate adaptation through water management photovoltaics (Project)

As a result of climate change, drought is on the increase, especially in the particularly dry Rhön-Grabfeld region. It's not just the plants that are lacking rain. The soil's ability to absorb water is also decreasing. At the same time, rainfall events are becoming increasingly heavy. When it rains, this often leads to soil erosion and flooding. Moreover, the use of groundwater for field...

Collaborative project: Alternative dairy products through fermentation of whey sidestreams and products from fermentation surplus medium - Subproject A (Project)

The project involves the processing of residual streams from the dairy industry, which serve as a substrate for the cultivation of edible fungal mycelium in fermenters and can thus be reintroduced into the food supply chain as alternative dairy products. The innovative project is in line with the funding of R&D projects to develop alternative protein sources for human nutrition. The protein-based...
