Betriebswirtschaftliche Auswirkungen von Alternativen zur betäubungslosen Ferkelkastration
(2024-12-09)Piglet castration without anaesthesia has long been a common practice in pig farming to avoid boar taint in meat and to produce a homogeneous carcass. Due to the growing societal awareness of animal welfare, this practice ... -
Dynamics of Phosphorus Availability and Uptake in Hydroponics and Soils
(2024-12-09)The availability of phosphorus (P) in terrestrial ecosystems is primarily determined by plant genotypes and soil physiochemical characteristics that influence the chemical forms of P in soil and its biotransformation by ... -
Modeling and Optimization of Animal Breeding Programs
(2024-11-22)Simulation software can be used to model and optimize breeding programs. In the current work, the “Modular Breeding Program Simulator” (MoBPS) was applied to demonstrate this on three examples from layer, horse and pig ... -
Die Bio-Tierhaltung aus Sicht der Gesellschaft
(2024-11-15)The aim of this dissertation was to assess citizens’ expectations and trust in organic animal husbandry and to identify expectation–reality gaps in organic animal farming. Strengthening consumer trust is an important aspect ... -
Rethinking the Challenges of Agricultural Markets – Food Prices, Innovation, and Technical Efficiency
(2024-11-05)Global agricultural markets have reached a critical point; their immediate and long-term development has never been in higher jeopardy. As the rapid growth of the world’s population, coupled with urbanization and rising ... -
Molecular Investigations on Spastic Paresis and Other Inheritable Bovine Diseases
(2024-10-30)Genetic mutations often cause serious diseases associated with severe animal suffering. Today, molecular methods enable efficient research and prevent spreading of disease alleles in cattle populations. The main objective ... -
Dissecting intraspecific variation in body size related traits in Drosophila melanogaster
(2024-10-23)Understanding the evolution of complex morphological traits is one of the main challenges in biology. This requires the identification of the causative genomic regions and the molecular changes responsible for phenotypic ... -
Improving the wellbeing of smallholder coffee farmers at Masaba (Mount Elgon) in Uganda: An investigation of challenges and resources
(2024-10-08)The coffee sector in Uganda is of great socio-economic importance for the country. For many smallholder farmers in the Masaba region (Mount Elgon) in Uganda, the cultivation of Arabica coffee is the most important source ... -
Evaluating the Effects of Changing Dietary Patterns on Agricultural Sectors, Trade, and Greenhouse Gas Emissions in the EU
(2024-08-09)Reducing the consumption of animal-based foods and shifting to a more plant-based diet is seen by many scientists as a contribution to combating climate change and improving the environment and public health (WILLETT et ... -
Bewertung von Tierwohlindikatoren für Mastschweine
(2024-08-05)The welfare of farm animals is a subject of controversial debate in the economy, politics, society and science. Methods for the assessment of animal welfare are an important component in objectifying the discussion. With ... -
Diversity and pest control services of birds and bats in Peruvian agroforestry landscapes of native cacao
(2024-07-31)Commodity production in the tropics represents a threat for nature conservation, but also an opportunity for developing socio-ecologically sustainable agricultural practices. Cacao production in agroforestry systems has ... -
Genetics of microspore embryogenesis in Intervarietal Substitution Lines of rapeseed (Brassica napus L.)
(2024-07-23)Microspore embryogenesis, a tissue culture-based propagation technology, is of great importance in rapeseed breeding to produce doubled haploids (DHs) in shortest time. Brassicas have become model plant species to study ... -
