Lupus Repel: Safeguarding grazing livestock through applied wildlife management (Project)

The return of the wolf in Hesse is challenging for the management of grazing animals. The use of common herd protection measures such as electric fences and guard dogs is very labor intensive. Lupus Repel is working on an innovative, user-friendly, and environmentally sound method to protect grazing animals and preserve grazing livestock. The project focuses on the development of a scent and...

MAJA - anti-mite dosage kit (Project)

Mites of Varroa are the main reason for bee deaths in winter. In Germany nearly every bee colony is infected by mites of varroa. Without control measures, damages occur within a very short time and the bee colonies die after two to three years. The measures to combat mite infestation currently require a combination of several methods, although there is still no safe and easy-to-use agent. The EIP...

Testing of a method for the alternative keeping of sows in the farrowing area compared to conventional standard methods (Project)

The project aims at optimising the method of alternative management of sows in farrowing areas in movement pens, in particular to significantly reduce piglet losses after opening the movement pens. The aim is to optimise the installed Combiflex movement pens by implementing new, previously non-existent technical equipment elements. The main focus is to positively influence the lying down...

PlaLuSt - Plasma air purification in the pigsty to reduce ammonia content and simultaneously improve animal welfare (Project)

The overarching goal of the project is to reduce the ammonia content and improve animal welfare in animal housing. The aim of the project is to develop a plasma-based air purification system adapted to the prevailing conditions for a pigsty, to implement this in the stable and to test for a reduction in the ammonia content in the stable as well as the influence on the animal. The project aims to...

Predictive Plant Production (Project)

Due to increasingly dry summers and decreasing water availability, horticultural businesses are increasingly asking for more efficient irrigation. Today, farm irrigation and fertilization is mostly done according to the current situation in the crops. In this context, the weather report, which is adapted to the agricultural sector, is the only useful prediction for irrigation control. Time- and...

PRo-MAPPER Plant Robot for Multidimensional Artificial Phenotyping for Plasma Enhanced Research (Project)

The aim of the project is the combination of innovative robotics methods, a multisensory data fusion for phenotyping and plasma-technological approaches to a new overall system for highly automated use in the agricultural sector. This system is intended to enable the efficient use of conventional crop protection measures and nutrient additives significantly earlier than in classical farming...

Seed health of organic grain with focus on bunt and dwarf bunt (Project)

The project aims to contribute to improving and sustainably securing the health status of organic grain seed in Hesse and neighboring regions. The focus is on the seed-borne blight diseases bunt and dwarf bunt in wheat and loose smut in barley. A combined approach involving the use of resistant varieties, organic seed treatment methods, and preventive agronomic measures will be used.

On farm test based selective dry cow therapy - reducing the use of antibiotic dry cow treatment in dairy cattle farming (Project)

The aim of the project is to develop and implement an innovative concept for antibiotic-minimised, selective drying-off of dairy cows. The development of such a concept serves to specifically reduce the use of antibiotics when drying off dairy cows in order to minimise the risk of the emergence of antibiotic resistance without endangering udder health. Such a concept includes the integration of...

Smart grazing - Feasibility study on weed control in corn fields by sheep (Project)

Im Ackerbau (Mais) soll eine Unkrautbekämpfung durch Verbiss mit Schafen auf praktische Umsetzbarkeit untersucht werden als Beitrag für ein umweltverträgliches Pflanzenschutzmanagement. Das Unkraut wird als Futtermittel für die Schafe genutzt. Weiterhin soll durch die Integration der Schafhaltung in den Ackerbau ihre wirtschaftliche Bedeutung gestärkt werden.

Sorghum for grain use in Hesse: Establishment of new locally adapted varieties (Project)

To adapt to climate change and increase biodiversity, it is necessary to establish new, robust crops in local agriculture. Sorghum is a drought-tolerant, versatile crop with numerous agro-ecological advantages, which can also represent a risk hedge for Hessian farmers during drought events. The aim of the project is therefore to develop stress-tolerant and locally adapted grain sorghum varieties....
