Intelligent and group-specific optimisation of barn-environment in pig husbandry by developing an interactive sensor-system for capturing animal activity (Project)

In modern pig husbandry, a transparent digitalisation of data streams and their bundling is not yet developed in the sense that it is beneficial for livestock owners, downstream food production and consumers. The aim of this project is to build a network of available, barn-specific data streams in order to create a livestock-friendly and impulse-driven barn-environment. The centre of this system...

Monitoring of genetic and phenotypic trends (Project)

The role of animal breeding in German dairy cattle is being discussed publicly and controversially. Although there are summary statistics on a regular basis, there is no country-wide regular monitoring of facts relevant to animal breeding on the basis of whole populations and complete sets of traits. Genetic trends as the result of breeders’ efforts and phenotypic trends as the sum of breeding...
