Extensive evaluation of data sets generated under the Federal Organic Farming in terms of contributions of the grasslands and grazing to health and well-being of dairy cows in organic farming (Project)
...Using comprehensive and representative data sets generated within the Federal Organic Farming Scheme, it was therefore the aim of this study 1) to analyse the variability in grassland management and pasture use, 2) to identify the current grazing strategies and 3), to explore the effects of such strategies on health and welfare of organic dairy cows in Germany.Data analysis did not reveal consistent effects on dairy cow health of either function of pasture use (e.g. main feed resource vs. outdoor run), the extent of time the cows actually spend on pasture or compliance with so called ‘pasture-milk’ label criteria. ...Using comprehensive and representative data sets generated within the Federal Organic Farming Scheme, it was therefore the aim of this study 1) to analyse the variability in grassland management and pasture use, 2) to identify the current grazing strategies and 3), to explore the effects of such strategies on the health and welfare of organic dairy cows in Germany. ...The study showed that dairy cattle use of pastures - just as the provisions of the EC directive on organic farming - has potential to achieve good welfare status (e.g., regarding lameness and skin lesions). However, together with less than optimal management (e.g., regarding supplementary feeding) it may not be beneficial for other health areas such as metabolic or udder health. ...

Accompanying research on the National Future Plan of Organic Farming (Project)
...In the year 2014 growth was only 0.3 percent. What needs to change to increase the number of organically farmed land area as politically desired in Germany? ...The project is divided into four contextual work modules: (a) survey of the design of relevant organic support programs in Germany, (b) analysis of the regional development, support strategies and coherency of the support policy, (c) analysis of the development and support of organic agriculture from a farm perspective and (d) survey and analysis of the support for organic agriculture in the EU....

Collaborative project: Development of a retrofit solution for application of acid in slurry channels of animal barns. Subproject 1: Coordination (Project)
...By acidifying the slurry with a strong acid (e.g. sulfuric acid), the pH can be decreased below 5.5 so that NH4+/NH3-balance is shifted and there is no more NH3 formation in gaseous form. ...The addition of sulfuric acid to slurry is often discussed to cause increased releases of toxic hydrogen sulfide (H2S) (animal welfare and MAK value: 5 ppm). Therefore, outgassing of H2S from slurry after addition of sulfate and acidification is systematically investigated under laboratory conditions ex ante. ...

Mechanical analysis of liver-toxic substances in a hepatic co-culture model (Project)
...In this study we established and utilized a co-culture model composed of hepatocytes (HepG2) and monocyte-like cells (THP-1) in order to minimize animal experiments. ...In this project we quantified more than 1,000 Proteins in THP-1 as well as in HepG2 cells after treatment with 3 different concentrations of ketoconazole (typical hepatotoxic substance) and o-anisidine (example of migrating substance) in single as well as in the co-culture model. Additionally, ketoconazole and ketoconazole metabolites were quantified in HepG2 und THP-1 cells as well as the supernatants to draw conclusions on the exposition scenarios. ...

Development of nanosensors for the detection of quality parameters along the food chain (NANODETECT) (Project)
...The partners have chosen milk as example process stream because it is subject to different contaminations of which the following were chosen as models: Pathogenic microorganisms (e.g. Listeria monocytogenes), Mycotoxins (e.g. Aflatoxin M1), Drug residues (e.g. sulphonamides) and Fraud (e.g. high value goat milk blended with cow milk). ...
