Development of Methodological Standards for Meaningful, Reproducible and Application-Driven Microbiome Research in Livestock (Project)
LiMBioM aims to establish for the first time standardized lab protocols and corresponding work flows as well as open source references for microbiome research in livestock, using the pig as an example. Together with accompanying documentation guidelines, this shall enable (i) the comparison of microbiome data and results from laboratories around the world, (ii) to generate reliable statistics and...

Formation of a network to develop an animal welfare concept considering sensory perception of cows as an experimental farm exploring innovative husbandry and management solutions for dairy cows and their offspring (Project)
Extensive investments in new and updated barns for dairy cows within the last years could improve the conditions of animal husbandry. However, there is further need to upgrade livestock farming in terms of animal welfare and health. Particularly, for cows around parturition and for calves the prevalence of diseases is not acceptable. The complex influences on animal welfare and health require an...

Biting midge (ceratopoginid)-borne viruses as important factors influencing livestock farming in Germany - monitoring, bionomics, genetics and infection (Project)
The analyses to be carried out in the framework of the project are meant to improve the understanding of the interactions of biting midges, biting midge-borne viruses and agriculturally used ruminants. It thus increases the knowledge of the infectiological and epidemiological interrelationships of biting midge-borne viral infections in farm animals in Germany. The results of the project might...

Development of an obstetric simulator for small ruminants for the acquisition of important skills for proper and animal-friendly lambing care in small ruminants and its integration into training and teaching (Project)
For learning practical skills, it is very important to repeat hand movements frequently. However, due to animal welfare considerations, clinical practice of lambing techniques can only be performed by a limited number of learners and not several times on the same animal. In contrast to the small and large animal sectors, few simulators are available for practicing skills on sheep and, as things...

Individualized mastitis risk assesment in dairy farming using sensors, digitalization and artificial intelligence (Project)
The main objective of the German-Irish cooperation project MEDICow is to develop an improved mastitis risk assessment model for dairy cows using an innovative multisensory approach, digitization and artificial intelligence. This enables animal-specific and highly sensitive mastitis risk assessment while shortening the time between mastitis infection and treatment. In this way, the project...

Minimal invasive in ovo sexing of chicken eggs using time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy (Project)
The aim is the practical development of an innovative minimally invasive measurement method for sex determination on chicken eggs before the sixth day of breeding. From the point of view of scalability, the primary prototype will be developed further so that a robust and mobile measuring system is available and can be used in local hatcheries. The fluorophores in question are bio-chemically...
