Collaborative project Sow-Welfare-Optimized-Feeding: Ad libitum liquid feeding of gestating sows housed in groups based on fully automated body condition scoring (BCS) and backfat thickness assessment by a sorting system for sow-individual adjustment of the energy uptake - Subproject 2 (Project)

Development of a fully automated sorting-system for sows in groups using a 3D-camera to generate the individual body condition score value (BCS) and the backfat-thickness (RSD). Based on these values the system guides the sow in the feeding area A with low energy feed or in the feeding area B with high energy feed. Both feeding areas are providing the feed ad libitum. Based on this concept all...

Limitation of the CO2 sink strength of forests by ground-level ozone pollution as an intrinsic component of climate change - Validation of an ozone-uptake model and implementation in the physiological tree growth model 'BALANCE' for process-oriented risk assessment (Project)

The objective of the project is to determine for the first time the restriction of the carbon storage function of forests under elevated O3 regimes in order to present a risk assessment for Germany. For this purpose an ozone module is developed, validated and integrated into the process-oriented forest growth model 'BALANCE'. Modell simulations for different regions and climate scenarios form the...

Collaborative project: System for poultry husbandry to reduce the risk of bacteria recontamination during the fattening period, to improve the animal health and to reduce the risk of crosscontamination into the human food chain for bacteria in general and especially for antibiotics-resistant bacteria - subproject 1 (Project)

"The aim of the project was the development of a new housing system to reduce the occurrence of (antibiotic-) resistant germs in broilers. A perforated area was installed in the supply area to separate the animals from their excrements and to reduce antibiotic treatments and resistance development. In addition to the perforated area, the animals had access to littered areas. The new housing...

Collaborative project: Breeding and mass propagation of peat moss in Sphagnum farming to create a sustainable supply of renewable raw material for horticultural growing media. Subproject 1: Coordination. Collection, genetic characterization, and selection of highly productive wild Sphagnum provenances, Testing establishment of produced seeding material under field conditions (Project)

To reach high yields and thus make Sphagnum farming economically feasible the joint project ‘MOOSzucht’ aims to increase current Sphagnum productivity by 30 % through selection and breeding. Several wild provenances of Sphagnum species (suited for growing media) will be genetically characterized (SSR marker assays) to understand the relationship between and distribution of Sphagnum genotypes....

Pathways to reduce food waste - Measures, evaluation frameworks and analytical tools as well as future-oriented approaches for the sustainable use of food including socio-ecological innovations. Subproject 2: material flows and energy flows and case study bakery production and marketing of bakery products (Project)

The production and consumption of food has an impact on the environment. In this context we question the importance of food waste. To analyse this, we quantify the agricultural and food sectors along the entire value creation chain. Food waste can often be avoided with relative ease. In different case studies we study the main points and reasons for the creation of waste and study different way...

Collaborative project: Development of a biological control system for the regulation of the pathogen of ash drive dying Hymenoscyphus fraxineus; Subproject 2: micro-Biom analyses for the identification, selection and evaluation of potential antagonists in planta for control of the pathogen of ash drive dying (Project)

Ash drive dying fraxineus caused by Hymenoscyphus has spread since the mid-1990s across Europe and provides stocks by the death all the forest future of the ash in question. The biological control of the disease through microbial antagonists, which directly combat the harmful organism or suppress competition, is a promising option to the containment of ash drive dying and can a synergistic...

Development of procedures and products for utilisation of the techno-functional properties of the hydrolyzates - subproject 2 (Project)

The overall objective of this project is to upgrade stale bread (caraway rye bread) and its fully recirculation in the production process through the development of a new specific fermentation process for the liquidation and/or saccarification of stale bread. It will be obtained a kind of bread sirup which can be used in manifold manner. The special focus is the maintanance and spreading of the...
