The aim of the project is the development of an app-based management tool both for the company’s self-control according to animal protection laws as well as for the daily animal control according to animal protection and the keeping of production animals regulation for pig husbandry enterprises. Both processes should be combined and interlinked to provide farmers with a management tool for animal welfare and, at the same time, an early detection system for changes in animal welfare (animal welfare check pig). The practical animal welfare management tool is planned with daily and quarterly survey grids and indicators and developed and tested within the framework of the project with farmers. The tool corresponds to the future demand of the practical enterprises not only to use the required documentation for storage, but also as the basis of an effective controlling. At the same time, the tool helps to evaluate the animal welfare in the sties based on facts and to communicate it, e.g. to final consumers.
