Animal husbandry methods also play an important role in public discussion, as animal welfare is often valued in society by visual perceptions. In this context, there is often an idealized idea of livestock husbandry and nutrition, which is staged by ideal-typical images. In the minds of many citizens, nature-loving images trigger a positive imagination that results from the longings of urban living conditions. Media and stakeholder analyses indicate that the use of straw in livestock husbandry and nutrition also has a positive impact on the welfare of livestock. According to this, straw is preferred by the public for more animal welfare. But what is not considered is the fact that the straw must be of impeccable hygienic quality
Die vorliegende Masterarbeit befasst sich mit dem Thema der Darstellung von Vegetation im Kontext des Building Information Modeling (BIM) und hierbei insbesondere mit der Entwicklung eines Datenmodells für ausgewählte Baumarten.
Die Anwendung der BIM-Methode wird in der Landschaftsarchitektur zunehmend gefordert. Zurzeit sind die Integration und die Arbeit mit der BIM-Methode noch mit großen Herausforderungen verbunden. Für die Landschaftsarchitektur fehlen definierte Objekte im internationalen, herstellerneutralen Austauschformat Industry Foundation Classes (IFC). Es fehlen neben den Objekten des Freiraums die Workflows zur Modellierung der Objekte, die beschreibenden Informationen und die Zuordnung zu den Detaillierungsgraden.
Das Ziel der vorliegenden Masterarbeit besteht darin, eine Methode zum Generieren von parametrischen Baummodellen zu entwickeln. Es werden individuelle Baummodelle in der CAD/BIM-Software Autodesk Revit modelliert. Die Baummodelle sollen den Lebenszyklus einer Pflanze abbilden. Das in dieser Arbeit erstellte Baummodell ermöglicht die Abbildung einer Vielzahl von Kronen- und Wurzelformen. Die generierten Baummodelle beinhalten Wachstumsfunktionen mit spezifischen Parametern für die Gesamthöhe, die lichte Stammhöhe, den größten Kronendurchmesser, die Höhe des größten Kronendurchmessers sowie Länge und Tiefe der Wurzel. Zusätzlich zur Geometrie des Modells werden relevante Informationen als konsistenter Parametersatz definiert. Die Informationen können den BIM-Anwendungsfällen zugeordnet werden. Die Parametersätze für das Erscheinungsbild der Modelle und die Informationen zu den Eigenschaften werden über Dynamo gesteuert. Das ermöglicht den direkten Austausch der Modelle und der zugehörigen Informationen.

Die vorliegende Arbeit befasst sich mit dem BIM-basierten (Building Information Modeling) Bauantrag und der Frage, welche Anforderungen hierfür bei BIM-Modellen der Außenanlagenplanung zu berücksichtigen sind.
Das Baugenehmigungsverfahren, wie man es heute kennt, ist zeit-, kosten- und personalintensiv sowie von langen Laufzeiten geprägt. Im Hinblick auf aktuelle Herausforderungen für die Planungs- und Baubranche wie Klimaanpassung, Verkehrswende und Wohnungsnot bei gleichzeitig immer komplexer werdenden bauordnungs- und bauplanungsrechtlichen Anforderungen ist eine Modernisierung des Bauantragsverfahrens unabdingbar. Mit dem Standardisierungsprojekt ,Austauschstandards im Bau- und Planungsbereich‘ des IT-Planungsrates wird daher seit einigen Jahren die Digitalisierung des Baugenehmigungsverfahrens vorangetrieben. So soll der Austausch von Daten und Informationen zwischen allen Beteiligten (planende Stelle, Genehmigungsstelle Antragsteller*innen usw.) zukünftig digital und unter bundesweit verbindlichen, herstellerneutralen, offenen Datenstandards erfolgen. Gleichzeitig ermöglicht die Einführung des digitalen Baugenehmigungsverfahrens auch die Einbindung von BIM-Modellen. Wie diese im digitalen Bauantragsverfahren genutzt werden können, welche Anforderungen diese erfüllen müssen und welche Chancen und Mehrwerte dadurch entstehen (z. B. durch die teilautomatisierte Regelprüfung von bauordnungs- und bauplanungsrechtlichen Anforderungen) wurde bereits im Forschungsprojekt ‚BIM-basierter Bauantrag‘ im Rahmen der Forschungsinitiative ‚Zukunft Bau‘ untersucht. Hierbei wurden allerdings insbesondere Gebäudemodelle betrachtet.
Zunehmend wird die Anwendung der BIM-Methode jedoch auch von der Landschaftsarchitektur gefordert. Aufgrund bisher nicht definierter Objekte im internationalen, herstellerneutralen Austauschstandard von BIM-Modellen IFC (Industry Foundation Classes) für den Bereich Landschaft, ist die Teilhabe an BIM-Prozessen zurzeit noch eine große Herausforderung für die Landschaftsarchitektur. So fehlen neben Objekten des Freiraums Standards sowohl hinsichtlich der Modellierung als auch für die zu beschreibenden Attribute in den erforderlichen Detaillierungsgraden.
Ziel dieser Arbeit ist es daher, Anforderungen an Außenanlagenmodelle für den BIM-basierten Bauantrag zu untersuchen und in eine Modellierungsrichtlinie umzusetzen. Ein weiteres Ziel ist es, mögliche Chancen der teilautomatisierten Regelprüfung von Bauvorschriften für Außenanlagen aufzuzeigen. Hierfür erfolgt zunächst eine Dokumentenanalyse von verschiedenen Bauvorlagenverordnungen. Des Weiteren werden auch die Vorgaben für den Detaillierungsgrad LOD200 (Level of Detail) untersucht. Die Umsetzung der Modellierungsrichtlinie erfolgt exemplarisch am Beispiel der Außenanlagenplanung des Bauvorhabens ‚Elbtower‘ in Hamburg. An diesem Beispiel werden die für den Bauantrag relevanten Objekte des Freiraums und deren geometrischen und semantischen Anforderungen identifiziert. Für Objekte, die bisher nicht im IFC-Standard klassifiziert sind, werden zudem Klassifizierungsvorschläge gemacht, um eine mögliche Aufnahme in die IFC zu forcieren. Die Umsetzbarkeit der Modellierungsrichtlinie wird beispielhaft mit der BIM-Software ‚Autodesk Revit´ verifiziert. Abschließend werden die Möglichkeiten der teilautomatisierten Regelprüfung von bauordnungs- und bauplanungsrechtlichen Anforderungen an Außenanlagenmodelle anhand exemplarisch ausgewählter Prüffälle untersucht.
Animal husbandry methods also play an important role in public discussion, as animal welfare is often valued in society by visual perceptions. In this context, there is often an idealized idea of livestock husbandry and nutrition, which is staged by ideal-typical images. In the minds of many citizens, nature-loving images trigger a positive imagination that results from the longings of urban living conditions. Media and stakeholder analyses indicate that the use of straw in livestock husbandry and nutrition also has a positive impact on the welfare of livestock. According to this, straw is preferred by the public for more animal welfare.
But what is not considered is the fact that the straw must be of impeccable hygienic quality. Fungal infestation and the formation of mycotoxins in straw can cause diseases in livestock with consequences for animal welfare.
The first evaluation of a perfect straw quality also takes place in science through sensory tests, i.e. through smell, grip, colour and impurities. Only in the case of abnormalities in the sensory tests are further examinations indicated, such as microbiological examination procedures.
The hygienic properties of straw were examined on the basis of these assessment criteria. In addition to the microbiological-hygienic tests, the sensors of the straw were also tested.
The results show that there are no abnormalities in the sensory examination of the hygiene status. This was to observe an impeccable hygiene status.
However, the microbiological-hygienic investigations showed that the straw had microbiological as well as mycotoxin loads above the orientation values. This can have negative health effects, such as diseases for farm animals.
The scientific results led to the conclusion: The public discussion about animal welfare, which is often conducted primarily on the basis of visual impressions, could gain in scientific resilience if it includes objective results such as microbiological analyses in addition to images in order to evaluate animal welfare in livestock farming
Der globale Klimawandel ist nicht mehr nur Bestandteil wissenschaftlicher Debatten, sondern er ist im alltäglichen Leben der Menschen fühlbar und allgemein sichtbar angekommen. Expertinnen und Experten der Universität Osnabrück und der Hochschule Osnabrück diskutieren die „Globalen Herausforderungen und lokalen Lösungen des Klimawandels am Beispiel der Stadt Osnabrück“. Welche Interessenskonflikte gibt es auf lokaler Ebene in Bezug auf den Klimaschutz? Wie sollte das klimabewusste Osnabrück der Zukunft aussehen? Dies sind nur einige Fragen, die die Teilnehmerinnen und Teilnehmer aufgreifen.
Chitin is an abundant waste product from shrimp and mushroom industries and as such, an appropriate secondary feedstock for biotechnological processes. However, chitin is a crystalline substrate embedded in complex biological matrices, and, therefore, difficult to utilize, requiring an equally complex chitinolytic machinery. Following a bottom-up approach, we here describe the step-wise development of a mutualistic, non-competitive consortium in which a lysine-auxotrophic Escherichia coli substrate converter cleaves the chitin monomer N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) into glucosamine (GlcN) and acetate, but uses only acetate while leaving GlcN for growth of the lysine-secreting Corynebacterium glutamicum producer strain. We first engineered the substrate converter strain for growth on acetate but not GlcN, and the producer strain for growth on GlcN but not acetate. Growth of the two strains in co-culture in the presence of a mixture of GlcN and acetate was stabilized through lysine cross-feeding. Addition of recombinant chitinase to cleave chitin into GlcNAc2, chitin deacetylase to convert GlcNAc2 into GlcN2 and acetate, and glucosaminidase to cleave GlcN2 into GlcN supported growth of the two strains in co-culture in the presence of colloidal chitin as sole carbon source. Substrate converter strains secreting a chitinase or a β-1,4-glucosaminidase degraded chitin to GlcNAc2 or GlcN2 to GlcN, respectively, but required glucose for growth. In contrast, by cleaving GlcNAc into GlcN and acetate, a chitin deacetylase-expressing substrate converter enabled growth of the producer strain in co-culture with GlcNAc as sole carbon source, providing proof-of-principle for a fully integrated co-culture for the biotechnological utilization of chitin.
Notable parts of the population in Europe suffer from allergies towards apples. To address this health problem, the analysis of the interactions of relevant allergens with other substances such as phenolic compounds is of particular importance. The aim of this study was to evaluate the correlations between the total phenolic content (TPC), polyphenol oxidase (PPO) activity, antioxidant activity (AOA), and the phenolic compound profile and the content of the allergenic protein Mal d 1 in six apple cultivars. It was found that the PPO activity and the content of individual phenolic compounds had an influence on the Mal d 1 content. With regard to the important constituents, flavan-3-ols and phenolic acids, it was found that apples with a higher content of chlorogenic acid and a low content of procyanidin trimers and/or epicatechin had a lower allergenic potential. This is probably based on the reaction of phenolic compounds (when oxidized by the endogenous PPO) with proteins, thus being able to change the conformation of the (allergenic) proteins, which further corresponds to a loss of antibody recognition. When apples were additionally biofortified with selenium, the composition of the apples, with regard to TPC, phenolic profile, AOA, and PPO, was significantly affected. Consequently, this innovative agronomic practice seems to be promising for reducing the allergenic potential of apples.
Selenium and iodine are essential micronutrients for humans. They are often deficient in food supply due to low phytoavailable concentrations in soil. Agronomic biofortification of food
crops is one approach to overcome micronutrient malnutrition. This study focused on a pre-launch exploration of German consumers’ willingness to purchase selenium- and/or iodine-biofortified apples. For this purpose, an online survey was carried out. In this context, consumers were asked to choose their most preferred apple product from a set card of product alternatives in a discrete choice experiment (DCE). The multinomial logit model results demonstrated that German consumers’ have a particular preference for iodine-biofortified apples. Furthermore, apple choice was mainly influenced by price, health claims, and plastic-free packaging material. Viewed individually, selenium did not exert an effect on product choice whereas positive interactions between both micronutrients exist.
This research project focused on the consumers' acceptance of a newly developed apple in order to encourage the purchase behavior in the supermarket. It was enriched with selenium via biofortification in order to address the undersupply with the trace element in the German population. The study included online surveys and a market test in food retail. The results were used as preparation for the design of a marketable apple product. In the online pretest, the most popular apple cultivars, the most popular health benefits of selenium, as well as the respondents' preferences for the name of the new apple: Selstar® were detected. These results were included in an online survey which encompassed n=1042 interviews from German households. The sample was recruited according to national representative distribution of age groups, gender, and regions. The results show that the majority of the respondents were not sure what exactly selenium is and what it is used or needed for. Therefore, the product package included information about the health benefits of selenium, for e.g. the immune system. The stepwise approach of the research and the implementation of the results helped the targeted navigation of the market launch of the Selstar®.
Die Direktvermarktung von landwirtschaftlichen Erzeugnissen spielt in Niedersachsen eine bedeutende Rolle zur Einkommensaufwertung der landwirtschaftlichen Betriebe. Das Internet ist dabei mittlerweile ein entscheidendes Medium zur Kundenansprache. Diese Studie hat daher die Zielstellung, die Bildkommunikation der landwirtschaftlichen Direktvermarkter in Niedersachsen im Rahmen der klassischen Homepage zu untersuchen. Entsprechendes Bildmaterial der Erstansicht der Homepages von Direktvermarktungsbetrieben wurde dafür einer qualitativen und quantitativen Analyse unterzogen. 258 Homepages von niedersächsischen Direktvermarktern wurden in die Auswertung einbezogen. Die Auswertung zeigt: Mehr als jeder zweite niedersächsische Direktvermarkter stellt Gebäude auf der Erstansicht seiner Webseite dar. Es handelt sich hierbei überwiegend um historisch aussehende Gebäude. Weiterhin konnte ermittelt werden, dass neben Gebäuden auch Personen, Tiere, Obst, Gemüse, Pflanzen, Produkte sowie Landschaften auf den Erstansichten der Webseiten dargestellt werden.
Are natural floods accelerators for streambank vegetationdevelopment in floodplain restoration?
(2021)
Riverbanks are very dynamic habitats for riparian vegetation strongly influenced byfluvial and geomorphic processes. This habitat type was severely reduced in the pastby river straightening and bank stabilisation. Restoration and establishment of newfloodplain streams promote this habitat, but a directed succession to later stages wasobserved many times. Our study aimed to analyse whether the often observeddirected succession of the streambank vegetation after restoration implementationcould be reversed by a natural flood along a newly created floodplain stream. Weinvestigated the effects of a natural flood in 2013 and different prerestorationconditions on species development in the riparian zone. Vegetation was studiedalong 12 transects in four different sections from 2011 to 2014. Species composi-tion differed strongly between the sections. Species richness was lowest in a newlydug steep section with high morphological dynamics and highest on wider flatstreambanks. Changes during the years reflecting different hydrological eventsvaried between sections. The high natural flood in 2013 reduced the cover of theherb layer and increased bare ground, which led in most sections to a loss of non-target species. Total target species richness did not change due to the natural flood,while target species showed a high turnover rate. In the following year, however,the flood‐induced development of species composition, in general, was reversed.Natural floods changed abiotic and biotic conditions along the streambank, but theydid not accelerate ecological restoration towards predefined target ecosystems.However, they were necessary to preserve the needed dynamic vegetation changesand species turnover to hinder the succession to later stages dominated by a fewspecies. Our study shows that riparian vegetation near the streambank can bemonitored most effectively in cross‐profile transects, both in the long‐term andevent‐related.
Urban greenspace has gained considerable attention during the last decades because of its relevance to wildlife conservation, human welfare, and climate change adaptation. Biodiversity loss and ecosystem degradation worldwide require the formation of new concepts of ecological restoration and rehabilitation aimed at improving ecosystem functions, services, and biodiversity conservation in cities. Although relict sites of natural and semi-natural ecosystems can be found in urban areas, environmental conditions and species composition of most urban ecosystems are highly modified, inducing the development of novel and hybrid ecosystems. A consequence of this ecological novelty is the lack of (semi-) natural reference systems available for defining restoration targets and assessing restoration success in urban areas. This hampers the implementation of ecological restoration in cities. In consideration of these challenges, we present a new conceptual framework that provides guidance and support for urban ecological restoration and rehabilitation by formulating restoration targets for different levels of ecological novelty (i.e., historic, hybrid, and novel ecosystems). To facilitate the restoration and rehabilitation of novel urban ecosystems, we recommend using established species-rich and well-functioning urban ecosystems as reference. Such urban reference systems are likely to be present in many cities. Highlighting their value in comparison to degraded ecosystems can stimulate and guide restoration initiatives. As urban restoration approaches must consider local history and site conditions, as well as citizens’ needs, it may also be advisable to focus the restoration of strongly altered urban ecosystems on selected ecosystem functions, services and/or biodiversity values. Ecosystem restoration and rehabilitation in cities can be either relatively inexpensive or costly, but even expensive measures can pay off when they effectively improve ecosystem services such as climate change mitigation or recreation. Successful re‐shaping and re-thinking of urban greenspace by involving citizens and other stakeholders will help to make our cities more sustainable in the future.
Green roofs are known to mitigate the negative effects of urban consolidation by offering diverse ecosystem functions compared to non-vegetated roofs. However, the support for native biodiversity might be improved by using native plant species. In a mesocosm experiment, we studied the suitability of three commercial green-roof growth substrates for the establishment of 27 native plant species from dry sandy grasslands of northwestern Germany over the course of four years. The substrates were mineral-based, but differed in the layering of organic matter. Total establishment rates reached 44–59% in Year 4, indicating the general suitability of the substrates. During the first weeks after seeding, with light irrigation, the vascular plant cover was greater in the similar substrates Zincolit® Plus (Z) and Zincolit® Plus-Leicht (ZL) with their compost-based organic mulch layers than in the substrate Sedumteppich (ST) with its organic matter evenly admixed with the mineral aggregates. In Years 2 and 3, however, the vascular plant cover was greater in the ST substrate, likely due to the better availability of water and nutrients from the organic matter compared to the dry surface-mulch layer variants Z and ZL. After severe drought events, the decline in plant cover was more pronounced in the ST substrate, likely representing a trade-off between lush growth and a susceptibility to drought. An indicator-species analysis revealed differences in species composition between the ST and Z/ZL substrates. Annual plant species were indicators of the ST substrate. Perennials, such as Thymus pulegioides and Achillea millefolium, were typical of the Z and ZL substrates. In addition to the general suitability of the tested standard substrates for target species establishment, the study indicated that a combination of different layers of substrate components resulted in different vegetation patterns that may have a positive effect on green-roof biodiversity.

Mountainbiking ist eine stark wachsende Natursportart mit einer hohen Teilnehmerzahl an Downhill- Mountainbikern im nördlichen Harz. Aufgrund der Wegebelastung entstehen soziale Konflikte und ökologische Auswirkungen, weshalb attraktive Strecken entwickelt und umweltschonende Lenkungsmaßnahmen durchgeführt werden müssen. Die Umfrage, die im Zuge dieser Arbeit durchgeführt wurde, ergab, dass die Anforderungen der Mountainbiker naturnahe, schmale und technisch anspruchsvolle Strecken sind. Die Auswirkungen des Mountainbikings betreffen die Tierwelt und sensible Gebiete abseits vorhandener Wege. Für die erfolgreiche Lenkung der Mountainbiker ist Kommunikation zwischen allen Beteiligten in der Landschaftsplanung erforderlich. Es ist auf eine umweltschonende Bauweise, gezielte Streckenführung, klare Beschilderungen, technische Herausforderungen und Wegequalitäten zu achten. Der Ausbau vorhandener Wegeinfrastruktur und aktive Lenkungsmaßnahmen im Harz können zu einer konfliktfreien und umweltfreundlichen Situation des Mountainbikings führen. Zusätzliche Forschungsarbeiten mit konkreten Schwerpunkten einzelner Lenkungskriterien oder ökologischen Auswirkungen können das Management von Mountainbike- Strecken erleichtern.
Aims
Understanding fine-grain diversity patterns across large spatial extents is fundamental for macroecological research and biodiversity conservation. Using the GrassPlot database, we provide benchmarks of fine-grain richness values of Palaearctic open habitats for vascular plants, bryophytes, lichens and complete vegetation (i.e., the sum of the former three groups).
Location
Palaearctic biogeographic realm.
Methods
We used 126,524 plots of eight standard grain sizes from the GrassPlot database: 0.0001, 0.001, 0.01, 0.1, 1, 10, 100 and 1,000 m2 and calculated the mean richness and standard deviations, as well as maximum, minimum, median, and first and third quartiles for each combination of grain size, taxonomic group, biome, region, vegetation type and phytosociological class.
Results
Patterns of plant diversity in vegetation types and biomes differ across grain sizes and taxonomic groups. Overall, secondary (mostly semi-natural) grasslands and natural grasslands are the richest vegetation type. The open-access file ”GrassPlot Diversity Benchmarks” and the web tool “GrassPlot Diversity Explorer” are now available online (https://edgg.org/databases/GrasslandDiversityExplorer) and provide more insights into species richness patterns in the Palaearctic open habitats.
Conclusions
The GrassPlot Diversity Benchmarks provide high-quality data on species richness in open habitat types across the Palaearctic. These benchmark data can be used in vegetation ecology, macroecology, biodiversity conservation and data quality checking. While the amount of data in the underlying GrassPlot database and their spatial coverage are smaller than in other extensive vegetation-plot databases, species recordings in GrassPlot are on average more complete, making it a valuable complementary data source in macroecology.
1. Flower strips are a fundamental part of agri-environment schemes (AESs) introduced by the European Union to counteract the loss of biodiversity and related ecosystem services in agricultural landscapes. Although vegetation composition of the strips is essential for most fauna groups, comprehensive studies analysing vegetation development and influencing factors are rare.
2. From 2017 to 2019, we investigated the vegetation composition of 40 perennial wildflower strips (WFSs) implemented in 2015 or 2016, and 20 cereal fields without WFS across Saxony-Anhalt, Germany. We analysed environmental factors on plot (cover of grasses, shading, soil fertility) and four landscape-scale levels (habitat diversity, proportion of WFS and open habitats). The provision of nectar and pollen resources was estimated by the newly developed Pollinator Feeding Index (PFI). All strips had been implemented by farmers as AES with species- rich seed mixtures comprising 30 native forbs.
3. In all study years, forb species richness, cover and related nectar and pollen supply were much higher on WFSs than on controls, confirming the effectiveness of this AES. Although sown native forbs contributed the most to the high PFI values, spontaneously established forbs expanded the total range of species considerably, especially in winter and spring. While sown forb communities remained similar over time, spontaneous forbs showed a higher species turnover. Altogether, shading and grass cover had the greatest negative effect on the performance of the sown forbs. Landscape variables had only minor effects and were inconsistent in their importance across scale levels and years.
4. Synthesis and applications. Successfully established perennial wildflower strips (WFSs) sown with species-rich native seed mixtures provided a forb-rich and diverse vegetation throughout the AES funding period of 5 years. By supplying feeding resources for pollinators under various landscape situations, WFSs have significant potential to promote farmland biodiversity and related ecosyste services. We recommend the mandatory use of species-rich wildflower mixtures for perennial flower strips and to avoid their creation in heavily shaded field edges. Advisory services for farmers are necessary to prevent failures in WFS implementation and management and to improve their ecological effectiveness.
Piglets experience a high level of stress upon weaning due to changes in social structures and feeding. Incorporation of flavors in the maternal diet might be a promising tool to prenatally modulate flavor preferences of the offspring and prevent neophobia. This study aimed to evaluate if the supplementation of the maternal diet with Spicemaster GH 501, an intense, plant-based herbal flavor, could affect feed preferences of early-weaned piglets and thus improve feed intake, performance, and overall health conditions. On approx. day 95 of gestation, 59 pregnant sows (DanZucht) were separated into two groups. The control group received commercial gestation and lactation feeds without flavor, while the trial group received diets with added flavor (400 g/t Spicemaster GH 501). After weaning, 272 piglets from both groups were rehoused and given an early-grower feed, which was consistently supplemented in both groups with 400 g/t Spicemaster GH 501 throughout the whole trial. Strikingly, the trial group, which was prenatally exposed to the flavor, gained significantly more weight during the initial phase after weaning. Moreover, the trial group was less prone to develop ear tip necrosis and displayed an improved general health condition, which was reflected in a reduced number of antibiotic treatments during the duration of the trial. Collectively, the incorporation of flavoring compounds in the maternal diet provides a powerful mechanism to shape taste preferences in early-weaned piglets and conse-quently reduce stress levels and susceptibility to infections.
Piglets experience a high level of stress during the onset of the fattening phase due to changes in social structures and feeding. Incorporation of flavors in the feed supports constant levels of feed intake thus avoiding drops in performance. This study aimed to evaluate if a combination of vanilla and fruity flavors could maintain high interest in variable feeds across different ages. 384 crossbred (Topigs 20 x Piétrain) piglets were separated at weaning into two groups (eight pens per group: four pens with females and four pens with uncastrated males; 24 animals per pen), according to gender and weight. The control group received commercial starter feeds without flavor, while the other group received diets with added flavor (500 g/t Cuxarom Fruit 210, a sweetish, berry multifruit note combined with creamy vanilla). After 49 days, 264 animals from both groups were rehoused and given an early-grower feed with or without added flavor for 7 days. Consequently, animals from the trial group again received flavor-supplemented feed and vice versa. During the early-grower phase, the feed intake of the trial group was 11.2% higher than that of the control group. Moreover, the trial group gained significantly more weight during the early-grower phase (+12.2%) in comparison to the control group. This indicates that the animals prefer the flavor they were familiarized with during the starter phase. This memory effect leads to an increased feed intake and weight gain in early-grower pigs and can counteract drops in performance, particularly when mixing animals or transitioning.

As allergy towards apples is widespread, the evaluation of various cultivation and postharvest influences on the allergenic potential is of great importance. Therefore, the analysis of the Mal d 1 content was the focus of this study, originally dealing with investigating the influence of a selenium biofortification on apple quality. The Mal d 1 content of apples was in most cases reduced when the fruits were biofortified with selenium. Apple variety and climatic conditions were identified as further influencing factors for the Mal d 1 content of the fruits. The separate analysis of the peel and the fruit flesh showed that the content of Mal d 1 in the fruit flesh was significantly lower in the biofortified samples than in the controls. In conclusion, the results indicate that the selenium biofortification of apples and biochemical mechanism behind can reduce the allergenic potential regarding the content of Mal d 1.

Die Fütterung von Zuchtstuten ist ein wichtiger Faktor, der für die Geburt eines gesunden und voll entwickelten Fohlens und für die Fruchtbarkeit der Stute verantwortlich ist. Die Versorgung der Stuten ist aufgrund der Schwankungen in der Futteraufnahme rund um die Geburt durch den Einsatz von hochwertigen Futtermitteln zu sichern.
Der Versuch überprüfte den Einfluss der Fütterung von Shredlage-Maissilage auf die Futterqualität, Mastleistung, Gesundheit und den Schlachtkörperwert von Fleckviehbullen. Die Ergebnisse zeigten, dass die Fütterung von Shredlage keinen negativen Einfluss auf die obigen Parameter ausübte. Im Gegenteil, der Einsatz von Shredlage zeigt Potential einen Beitrag zu einer wiederkäuergerechten Fütterung zu leisten und Produktionsmerkmale zu verbessern.
Das 23. gehölzkundliche Winterseminar der Arbeitsgruppe Junge Dendrologen in der DDG fand im Herzen Deutschlands in der Lutherstadt Wittenberg statt. Wie in den vergangenen Jahren war als Tagungsort eine Jugendherberge gewählt worden. Ursprünglich sollte Quartier in der Jugendherberge in der Bauhaus-Stadt Dessau bezogen werden. Da diese bereits ausgebucht war, wurde nach Wittenberg ausgewichen, was für die Programmgestaltung vorteilhaft war.
