The "InKalkTier" project has developed a web application that provides qualitative and quantitative insights into animal welfare, emission potentials and economic indicators relating to husbandry systems in livestock farming.
The application provides a wide range of housing systems for cattle, pigs, chickens and turkeys, which can be assessed in terms of their structural and technical aspects. The web application is based on a data structure that enables the KTBL to add further assessment criteria and housing systems with manageable effort. The application is aimed in particular at professionals from the fields of practice, consultancy, public authorities, trade associations, academia and education.
Improving animal welfare during transport and slaughter
New e-learning tool ‘eSchulTS ²’ in six languages
All staff at transport companies and slaughterhouses who handle live pigs or cattle must hold certificates of competence or expertise in the handling of live animals, in accordance with the relevant requirements of EU law. To continuously improve animal welfare, regular training is recommended (e.g. EFSA 2020).
As part of the collaborative project “Development of target group-oriented e-learning training materials to improve animal welfare during the transport and slaughter of cattle and pigs (eSchulTS2) – Sub-project 1”, a multilingual e-learning training module has been developed.
A high standard of animal welfare is a requirement for modern and sustainable pig farming.
But what is the state of animal welfare in German pig meat production? Data that allows conclusions to be drawn about specific aspects of animal welfare, such as animal losses or ante-mortem inspections, is already being collected. However, there is currently no systematic, nationwide evaluation of this information.
This is where the National Animal Welfare Monitoring scheme, or ‘NaTiMon’ for short, is set to come into play in future, taking into account animal welfare aspects not only in rearing but also during transport and at slaughter. The report is based on regularly collected management, resource and animal-related indicators.
EIP-Agri – Introducing pig projects
EIP-Agri – European Innovation Partnership on Agricultural Productivity and Sustainability
Together with the German Network Agency for Rural Areas (DVS), the Fokus Tierwohl network organised a networking meeting with EIP-Agri pig projects.
The aim of the European EIP-Agri funding programme is to promote the further development of innovative approaches in agriculture. Current issues in agriculture are addressed jointly by farmers, advisors, associations, businesses and the scientific community.
On 15 June 2021, an initial meeting took place between the projects under the Model and Demonstration Projects (MuD) for Animal Welfare, focusing on ‘Knowledge-Dialogue-Practice’, and the Focus on Animal Welfare network. The main aim was for the projects to get to know one another and to establish links between them. The aim of each individual project is to transfer knowledge into agricultural practice. The projects are funded by the Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture as part of the Livestock Strategy, following a resolution by the German Bundestag.
