Collaborative project: Study on the improvement of pigs’welfare during gas stunning in conventional paternoster and dip-lift systems by using alternative gases and gas mixtures - subproject C (Project)

The focus of this project to improve animal welfare at the slaughter of farm animals is the CO2 stunning of pigs. This stunning method causes less pre-slaughter stress on animals by driving them to the stunning facility in groups. However, when commonly used gas concentrations are applied, it leads to aversion, shortage of breath and escape reactions in the induction phase. This project will...

Collaborative project: Studies on the transfer of pyrrolizidine alkaloids in livestock (Project)

The increasing spread of cruciferous herbs (Senecio spp.) has been observed with great concern in recent years. Ragweeds such as Senecio jacobaea or Senecio aquaticus contain liver-toxic and carcinogenic pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PA) and their N-oxides (PANO), which, even in very small doses, can be harmful to human and animal health. Farm grassland and in particular extensively cultivated...

Collaborative project: Studies on the pathosystems powdery mildew / parsley and downy mildew / parsley, and development of a screening method for resistance breeding – Subproject 2 (Project)

The risk of infection with a 'new” pathogen, downy mildew, has increased in the cultivation of parsley under increasingly mild, moist weather, making its cultivation little profitable without intensive control. Since 2000, downy mildew has been replacing other leaf spot pathogens like Septoria or Alternaria. In hot summer periods, powdery mildew occurs more intensely, which has already been the...

Collaborative project: Structuring of fat in chocolate fillings - optimization of the fatty acid profile for improved nutritional composition. Subproject 1 (Project)

Chocolate is a very popular and indulgent food. However, it consists of a high percentage of saturated fatty acid, which shows a great potential for optimization regarding its nutritional value. Based on legal regulations, chocolate itself and the chocolate fats may not be modified significantly. However, chocolate fillings are not that strictly regulated and show good potential for optimization....

Collaborative project: Stressless examination for pathogens associated with bovine respiratory disease complex Stressless fUtuRE - subproject B (Project)

In order to meet the global demand for meat required for feeding the world population, cattle, along with poultry and pigs, are of enormous importance and will be on focus of future generational tasks. The optimisation of the genetic performance potential of the animals is still a priority. In order to achieve this target, the improvement of the animals' physical condition is a central element of...
