On-farm hatching in broiler fattening to minimise the use of antibiotics (Project)
The objective of this project is to reduce the use of antibiotics in broiler fattening by on-farm hatching. On-farm hatching is intended to increase animal health and consequently reduce the incidence of bacterial diseases in the flocks. For this purpose, various parameters that can be influenced by on-farm hatching are taken into account, collected, evaluated and made available to the practice....

Minimization of antibiotic use in broiler fattening by hygiene measures and optimization of biosecurity, animal health and management (Project)
The overall goal of the project is that farms that have high antibiotic use (ABU) can learn from farms that have comparably low ABU and the identification and optimization of parameters to improve animal health. The specific objectives of the project are: to improve biosecurity and overall hygiene of broiler chicken farms, to improve animal health of broiler chickens, to minimize the use of...

On-farm slaughtering in dialogue - Studies on on-farm slaughtering with regard to animal welfare and consumer protection with knowledge transfer for practice (Project)
On-farm slaughtering offers the possibility of slaughtering a certain number of cattle, pigs and horses on the farm of origin through mobile or partially mobile slaughter units. From an animal welfare point of view, transport and slaughter-related stress can thus be reduced or avoided. However, on-farm slaughtering requires strict conditions to ensure the high level of animal welfare and food...

Promoting animal welfare in mobile poultry slaughter (Project)
In this project, the process of mobile poultry slaughtering is to be considered holistically, i.e. the project already includes the capturing of the animals in the barn and ends with the proper storage of the end product or the carcass. During the work steps associated with mobile poultry slaughtering 1) premortal handling (sobering, catching, caging), 2) transport to the slaughter vehicle...

Stress reduction through (partially) mobile slaughtering in poultry and cattle (Project)
The aim of this model and demonstration project is to scientifically evaluate and optimize (partially) mobile slaughtering of poultry and cattle and to ensure adequate communication of the results into practice. Different types of (partially) mobile slaughter units will be analyzed with regard to their effects on the animals (animal welfare), organizational feasibility, technical requirements,...

Problem-oriented and target-group focussed knowledge transfer regarding ‘optimising longevity of dairy cows’ and 'reduction of calf mortality’ including performance monitoring on the farm (MiKuWi). (Project)
Optimised longevity of dairy cows and low calf mortality are featuring animal welfare in dairy farming. Broad knowledge based on numerous studies is available about these issues but implementation of these knowledge into daily farming practice is a fundamental problem, mainly relate to the gap between knowledge and action which is often difficult to resolve. There is a need to study the...

The Pasture Innovation Network Sheep/Goat works on pasture management issues related to animal welfare, pasture parasites and sustainability in practical 'pasture labs' together with farmers, advisors and scientists. (Project)
Five thematic groups are planned for five topics on sheep and goat grazing, the so-called grazing labs. Participation in the pasture labs is voluntary and open to all interested sheep and goat farmers. At the beginning of the pasture lab there is a 'kick-off' meeting. Here the group (4-5 participants) of interested livestock keepers meets to discuss one of the five planned topics. The topic of...
