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...

Prophylaxis of mastitis in cattle using novel biomatrices from marine organisms (Project)
Multi-resistant pathogens cause infections that are difficult to treat. Therefore, alternative material development, which naturally prevents the spread of multi-resistant pathogens in livestock using ingredients that inhibit colonization and stimulate the immune system, is urgently needed. As part of the project, substances are to be developed that prevent the growth of resistant germs on cow...

Photodynamic inactivation of microorganism in boar semen (Project)
The goal of this project is to reduce the environmental pollution caused by the entry of antibiotics and resistant bacteria from pig breeding. Worldwide, antibiotics are added to liquid preserved semen portions in order to inhibit bacterial growth during semen storage. Environmental problems arise due to the natural backflow of semen from the female reproductive tract into the manure after...

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...
