Collaborative project: A mobile LED-laser-trap to rouse, attract, monitor, and selectively combat herbivorous insects - subproject 1 (Project)

The project aims to develop a mobile LED-laser trap for herbivorous insects. Optical, olfactory and mechanical stimuli are used to rouse winged insects from plants, attract them to the LED-trap, and lethally damage them by a laser beam. Knowledge on light color and intensity as well as combination with odors that stimulate the flight behavior of insects and their orientation is applied in order...

Collaborative project: Functionalization of insect-based flours by extrusion processing for the applications in bakery products - subproject 1 (Project)

The FAO forecasts a doubling in the demand of animal protein by 2050 due to the growing world population. Therefore, there is already an urgent need to identify and to make new and sustainable protein sources accessible. Insects are considered as alternatives due to their high protein contents and relevant levels of micronutrients. The project aims at development of insect-based formulations with...

Collaborative project BioTip: Social-ecological tipping points in the Humboldt system. Subproject 1: Economic consequences, communication and coordination (Project)

The Humboldt Current system with its upwelling area at the Pacific coast of South America is a highly productive ecosystem and a hotspot of global importance in terms of both capture fisheries and marine biodiversity. The system is subject to major seasonal, annual, decadal, and centenary fluctuations in the climate system, the dynamics of the ecosystem, as well as anthropogenic impacts of...

Collaborative project: Development of an intelligent Curtain-ventilation-sensor-system for optimised thermal comfort of cattle - subproject 1 (Project)

The goal is to develop an intelligent Curtain-ventilation-sensor-system for dairy cattle farming, which can be controlled with a new system control and regulation unit using a network of sensors within the stables. This way, the various functional areas as well as the micro-climatic zones within the stable environment can be systematically optimised. A new lighting technology integrated into the...

Subproject 6: Early diagnosis of the eco-physiological performance of locust (Robinia pseudoacacia L.) local resources (Project)

Breeding of fast-growing varieties of the genus Populus, Robinia, and Salix for the production of renewable resources in short rotation coppice plantations. Main objectives are selection, genetic characterisation, testing of resistance, and hybridisation of poplars within the section Populus as well as the cultivation of plants for test plantations. Plus trees and stands of black locust will be...

Collaborative project: Innovative Data Science-based approach for health monitoring in calves and young cattle through targeted integration of practically relevant digital data and establishment of novel benchmarking parameters - subproject C (Project)

The aim of the project is to explore and develop new approaches for documenting and monitoring the health of calves and young cattle through the extension of the existing FokusMobil and LKV-Rind-App apps of the LKV NRW and BW, based on data-technological innovations. This will enable the use of additional biological performance indicators as future dairy cows or fattening animals, and could...

Recombinant E. coli Shiga toxoids as broadly cross-protective vaccines to reduce STEC/EHEC shedding and transmission dynamics in cattle herds (Project)

Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli are serious zoonotic pathogens. Shigatoxin (Stx) represents a virulence factor for STEC when asymptomatically and persistently colonizing cattle. We aim at developing a vaccination strategy directed against Stx and its effects in promoting long-term STEC shedding by cattle.
