WASCAL (West African Science Service Center on Climate Change and Adapted Land Use). Work Package 2.3 Adapting to water scarcity, uncertainty, and the effect of changing climate patterns – coping strategies and their impacts (Project)

The WP ‘Adapting to water scarcity, uncertainty, and the effect of changing climate patterns – coping strategies and their impacts’ takes a landscape approach to water scarcity and looks at how water resources in valleys can provide a solution to improve the resilience of the SES towards the effects of climate change. In the Sudan savanna zone, the uplands are extensively used for rainfed...

Collaborative project: Analysis of locomotion in cattle using fluoroscopy and novel load measurement systems as a basis for modification of claw trimming methods and a sustainable optimization of species-appropriate animal husbandry - subproject 2 (Project)

The project ProKlaue developed and evaluated procedures for a sustainable improvement of husbandry conditions and optimization of claw health management in dairy cows. The overarching goal was a significant improvement of claw health in intense housing systems and the improvement of animal wellbeing. Claw biomechanics of the bovine distal limb were analyzed in ex vivo and in vivo studies using...

Collaborative project: Development and validation of a method for the determination of glucocorticoids in hair and feathers as a biological indicator for retrospective non-invasive monitoring of animal welfare in different livestock species. Subproject 2 (Project)

"In a joint project of the FBN Dummerstorf and the FLI Celle, the applicability of cortisol concentrations in hair samples from cattle and pigs and of corticosterone concentrations in feathers from chickens and turkeys as an indicator of stress was investigated. Protocols for the respective detection methods were developed. Subsequent studies identified various stress-unrelated factors...
