Objectives

The aim of this project is to develop an innovative housing system for conventionally kept fattening rabbits, which includes the implementation of all requirements of the 5th amendment of the Tierschutz-Nutztierhaltungsverordnung (TierSchNutztV) for commercial husbandry of fattening rabbits in Germany. A housing system will be created, which improves animal welfare and also reduces the outgoing environmental pollution. A prototype will be constructed and afterwards installed on a farm. Subsequently, the new system will be tested under practical conditions.

Objectives

Ziel des Projektes ist die Entwicklung eines Haltungssystems für Mastkaninchen, das einerseits das Tierwohl erhöht und die Emissionen minimiert.
