Alternatives to CO2-stunning of pigs (Project)

The overall goal of this research project is the development of an innovative, humane gas stunning method as an alternative to the CO2 stunning, because of the leading demand of meat products, which were produced under animal welfare standards. The CO2 stunning is one of legally permitted stunning methods, but it has a disadvantage in the introduction phase. Alternatively, pigs can be stunned...

Reducing dietary nitrogen and phosphorus in dairy cow rations in late lactation: Effects on animal health, performance, nutrient excretion and emission of greenhouse gases and other environmentally relevant gases (Project)

The objective of the project is an overall view of dairy cattle farming regarding the potential of reducing nitrogen and phosphorus excretions and ammonia emissions. Different levels of crude protein and phosphorus supply to mid and late lactation dairy cows will be studied in a feeding trail. Response variables encompass feed intake, milk and milk component yield and hence metabolic status....

In vitro virulence monitoring of pathogenic Brachyspira species in an intestinal porcine organoid model for reassessment of swine dysentery (Project)

Diarrhoeal diseases of pigs caused by Brachyspira, such as B. hyodysenteriae and B. pilosicoli, are of great economic importance, affect animal welfare in all age classes and contribute to the use of antibiotics in pig herds and thus also to the input of these active substances and their metabolic products into the environment. However, the pathogenesis of these diseases is nearly completely...

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...
