Collaborative project: New approaches for a genetic improvement of health traits of the dairy cow with a focus on the neo-partus period - Subproject 1 (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 1 (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...

Collaborative project: Assessing performance in relation to animal health and welfare and their economic implications based on an aggregated indicator concept in dairy production. Subproject 1 (Project)

"Animal welfare in livestock husbandry is an important societal issue. In dairy farming, production diseases and the short life of dairy cows are the main reasons of concern. They indicate an overstrained capacity of the animals to cope with their living conditions as well as of the farm to meet animals' needs. In the “Tier-Wirt” project, a concept for the data-based evaluation of ""animal...

Collaborative project: Improvement of the value for money in viniculture by means of partly automated acquisition and rating of environmental indicators (ResWine) - subproject 1 (Project)

The project aims at increasing the resource efficiency in viticulture by a geo-data and software based acquisition of environmental impacts and their evaluation according to environmental indicators. The University of Applied Sciences Bingen is elaborating this scheme cooperating with wineries, the Service Centre Rural Areas = DLR (Rhineland-Palatinate), data security experts and...

Collaborative project: Development of biotechnological methods for the identification, conservation, propagation and use of selected maple trees with wavy grain for timber production - Subproject 1 (Project)

Wavy grain maple is one of the most expensive hardwoods in Central Europe. In the frame of this project, biotechnological methods for the propagation of valuable wavy grain maple material and for the long-term conservation of genetically characterized clones will be developed. In addition, investigations towards the heritability and recognizability of the wavy grain will be conducted. Another aim...

Collaborative project: Development of an assessment system to evaluate animal welfare and the environmental impact of horse management by computer-based consultation instruments - subproject 1 (Project)

A uniform assessment and species-appropriate optimization of sport- and leisure-horse husbandries considering environmental criteria is deemed urgently required. However, till today there is no objective assessment tool available, that is both scientifically sound as well as feasible. Aim of the project 'BestTUPferd' is to establish a digital consulting tool for horse-keeping farms. The concept...

Collaborative project: Development and validation of a cellular test system for allergen trace amount detection and determination of allergenic potential of processed foods - subproject 1 (Project)

It is of utmost importance for consumers as well as for food manufacturers that the allergen content of a product is correctly labeled. Allergic consumers need to be certain that a safe product is consumed and manufacturers want to avoid unnecessary labeling. Ideally only food products truely implying a certain risk for affected persons should be labeled, improving the freedom of choice via...

Characterization of the genetic and enzymatic potential of biogas microbiomes by meta-analysis of metagenome datasets, subproject 1 - Phylogenetical and functional species-targeted meta-analysis (Project)

In anaerobic digestion of biomass, a huge number of microbial species is involved possessing a wide variety of metabolic properties. However, a major part of the spe-cies that can be detected in biogas reactors has not been adequately characterized either in terms of its specific substance conversion properties or in terms of its re-spective ecological role within the microbiological system....
