Collaborative project: An automatic multi parameter expert system designed to improve animal welfare and productivity for sows and piglets in the farrowing crate - subproject 1 (Project)

The aim of the project MultiExpert was the improvement of animal welfare and productivity in farrowing pens. Therefore different sensors for the recording of animal individual physiological parameters were tested and brought together in a practice test. These sensors served as the database for an expert system for the health monitoring of sows and her piglets. Background of this work is the...

Collaborative project: Development of an unmanned helicopter as an environmentally friendly and drift-reducing spraying device for grape-vines in steep-slope viticulture - subproject 1 (Project)

It is the aim of the project to develop a small unmanned autonomously flying helicopter (maximum take-off weight up to 150 kg) for the application of pesticides in steep-slope viticulture. During this project the helicopter will be evaluated in regard to economic aspects and labourefficiency, as well as application quality and the resulting biological efficacy of the plant protection measures. By...

Collaborative project: Development of innovative plant-derived feed additives for the improvement of animal health and efficiency in the production of animal foodstuff - subproject 1 (Project)

The aim of the research project is to develop innovative plant-based feed additives. Thus, so far under-utilized by-products of mango fruit processing are sustainably exploited, and their nutritional effects shall be thoroughly characterized. Digestive processes are expected to be stabilized, animal health to be improved and nutrient and resource exploitation to be enhanced. These outcomes are...

Collaborative Project: Development of innovative process integrated microbiological stage control systems for the reduction of Campylobacter spp. and Salmonella spp. in meat production - Subproject 1 (Project)

The commercial success of meat and meat products in national and international markets depends on the production of healthy foods under proper hygiene conditions. Therefore, the Federal Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Consumer Protection (BMELV) initiated a program to promote innovations for the enhancement of meat quality. One task of this program addresses the reduction of Salmonella and...

Collaborative project: Development of antimicrobial packaging solutions for the self-service area to improve safety and shelf life of meat and meat products – Subproject 1 (Project)

The aim of the project Safe-Pack was to develop novel antimicrobial packaging solutions to increase the quality, shelf life and safety of meat and meat products and to reduce losses. Therefore, intrinsically antimicrobial (SAM®) polymers were further developed for use in plastic trays, absorbent pads and foils in the meat industry. A detailed characterization of the new materials regarding their...

SFB/TRR 38: Project B3 Phase 1: Influence of different pioneering plants on microbial food web development in soil during initial states of ecosystem development (Project)

Food webs determine the functionality and stability of young ecosystems, since an efficient budget of nutrients in carbon and nitrogen limited ecosystems is the basis for the initiation and stabilisation of ecosystem processes. Therefore understanding the temporal dynamics of initial processes in the degrader’s food webs is of superior importance. The focus of this subproject is relating...

Collaborative Project: Terahertz Measurement for in vivo analysis of drought stress in crops: Optooelectric measurement tool for selective breeding and cultivation – Subproject 1 (following project) (Project)

For any plant a sufficient supply with water is essential. Alack of water leads to drought stress and heavy loss of growth. Up to date, the selection of drought resistant crop plants required a cumbersome analysis of the water content and the resulting drought stress reactions. Moreover, the living plants had to be destroyed for the measurements. The authors developed a unique device for use in...
