Establishment of semi-mobile slaughtering of domestic horses as a contribution to animal welfare in their final phase of life and to the ethical enhancement and utilization of valuable food resources (Project)

The PfeMo project aims to establish the partially mobile slaughter of domestic horses with the goal of making a safe and ethically acceptable contribution to animal welfare in the final phase of life for riding and working horses. In addition to recording existing structures, intensive knowledge transfer is intended to increase acceptance of horses as animals that provide food. In this context, a...

Direct traceability of regionally produced meat products back to the farm of origin for greater transparency in the meat industry (Project)

The project aims to verify the origin of regional meat products in a clear and tamper-proof manner using genetic data. By establishing and using a reference database of genetic profiles of farm animals from the agricultural businesses participating in the project, the authenticity and regional origin of meat products can be verified and linked to process data containing information about...

Development of a method for determining the optimal insemination time for breeding sows using image-based activity analysis, data evaluation, and calibration using vaginal mucus analysis (Project)

The aim of the project is to develop the first camera-based system for the early detection of impending ovulation in sows in order to automate heat detection in pig breeding operations. The “smart farming” camera system to be developed will use the reddening of a sow's external genitalia to perform an actual/target analysis by comparing it with reference images, thus determining the optimal time...

Integrative measures to restore healthy reef systems of the European flat oyster in a multi-species approach (Project)

How can the production of oyster seeds be ensured, in sufficient quantity and quality, to sustainably support the restoration of the European oyster in Germany? The project aims to sustainably restore biogenic reefs of the European flat oyster (Ostrea edulis) in the German North Sea. These reefs, among the most endangered marine habitats in temperate regions, play a key ecological role by...

Predictive Breeding for Wine Quality (Phase 3) (Project)

Evaluation of new grapevine cultivars regarding their quality potential is the time limiting factor during grapevine breeding. »SelWineQ« aims at developing robust models and tools to predict wine quality on a genetic and molecular level, leading to increased breeding efficiency. In a grapevine F1 mapping population we therefore investigate (1) the genetic quality potential (GQP; irrespective of...

Development of an alternative epigenetic method for age determination of plaice (Pleuronectes platessa). (Project)

How old is a fish really? This question plays a central role in the sustainable management of our oceans. Knowing the age of fish helps protect stocks and establish meaningful catch quotas. Traditional methods of determining fish age are invasive and usually require the animals to be killed. Our research approach relies on an innovative, gentle method to avoid this procedure. The age of a fish...

Vitis Leaf Hair - A new functional trait for sustainable and climate-adapted viticulture - Subproject B (Project)

In contrast to the almost hairless cultivated vine (V. vinifera), certain Vitis species have very densely hairy leaf undersides. Dense leaf hairs hinders the entry of Plasmopara viticola spores into the leaf stomata and reduces water loss through transpiration from these openings on the underside of the leaf. This means that dense leaf hairs lead to biotic (downy mildew) and abiotic (drought)...

Sustainable improvement of animal welfare and competitiveness in milk production through an innovative, market-oriented monitoring and management system based on smardtag® and HERDEplus® (Project)

The aim of the proposed project is to validate, introduce, and implement (bring to market readiness) an innovative system for the automated measurement, analysis, and evaluation of the welfare of dairy cows and the associated presentation of management recommendations for improving animal welfare, animal health, and fertility. This should increase the competitiveness of farmers and the...

Cyclodextrins in Plant-Based Foods: Impact on Functionality and Digestibility (Project)

The research project investigates the nutritional and techno-functional properties of α-cyclodextrin (and, where appropriate, β-cyclodextrin) in the context of food applications. The focus lies on the use of cyclodextrins in plant protein-based foods and their effects on the digestibility of proteins and lipids. Using in vitro models, the study analyzes interactions with digestive enzymes,...
