Cattle innovation network - sustainable cattle farming in Germany, taking into account animal welfare, environmental impacts and social acceptance
Project
Project code: 28N304211
Contract period: 01.08.2022
- 31.07.2025
Budget: 185,000 Euro
Purpose of research: Networks and research co-ordination
Keywords: animal feed, husbandry techniques, milk, cattle, animal health, animal welfare
The joint project InnoRind pursues the goal of bundling the competences available in the field of livestock husbandry and building a network that uses the expertise of the project participants to develop innovative concepts for sustainable cattle husbandry in Germany. These approaches are intended to improve animal welfare on the one hand and to reduce the negative environmental impact on the other hand, but at the same time also include the economic situation of the farms and the wishes of consumers in the sustainable concepts. The resulting solutions from InnoRind will also take into account the profitability of the farms. The network aims at a comprehensive consideration of cattle husbandry and deals with the rearing of calves and young cattle as well as the keeping of beef and dairy cattle. The main topics are cow-calf contact systems, alternative fattening and marketing concepts to address the sales problem of male dairy calves as well as the transit period and the balancing of environmental impacts in the dairy barn. First the status quo of cattle husbandry will be analyzed and beyond questioned critically in relation to the above-mentioned sustainability criteria and identify existing innovation potential. Based on this innovative barn construction and husbandry measures are implemented on cooperating experimental farms. On a conceptual level preventive oriented husbandry and management concepts will be developed to improve animal welfare. The results obtained can then transferred directly into practice. With this effective overall concept InnoRind will make a contribution to improving animal welfare in German cattle farming and reducing negative environmental impacts. In this context it ensures that consumers continue to be supplied with sustainably produced animal products whose origin is socially accepted.
