Collaborative project: Cross-linking existing official and private (business-owned) data for creating a trusted third party administered Data Information System as Public-Private-Partnership tool for improving the welfare and health of pig herds. Subproject 1 (PPP-InfoS)

Project


Project code: 2817206613
Contract period: 14.10.2017 - 31.08.2018
Budget: 21,673 Euro
Purpose of research: Experimental development

Due to structural change, livestock farming has become an increasingly intensive production system. A large part of the population is considering this development critically. Therefore, the aim of agricultural research is to achieve an improvement of farming conditions on a scientific basis, to make this measurable and to communicate it in an appropriate way.  In this context, the PPP-InfoS project assumed that a large amount of information that could be used to improve animal health is already collected by those involved in food production. At the moment, however, there is no possibility of accessing these data as a whole and using them directly for comparative purposes along the food chain. With the help of PPP-InfoS, the project partners (TiHo, QS Qualität und Sicherheit GmbH and BALVI GmbH) have succeeded in realizing such a summary of information. A nationwide application of those results has the potential to make a significant contribution to the improvement of animal health.
