Objectives

The project aims to implement and validate a system for automated measurement, analysis and evaluation of animal welfare of dairy cattle on farms in Brandenburg. Basis for the system shall be the individual and sensor technical acquisition of physiological measurement parameters of the animal by using an ear tag system. The collected data are assessed by a chronobiological regulation diagnosis and have to be presented in form of an animal welfare traffic lights system. Information regarding optimization of animal welfare for each individual farm and recommendations on fertility and animal health have to be elaborated. The traffic light system shall be integrated into the value chain of Brandenburg.

Objectives

Das Projekt beabsichtigt die Einführung und Validierung eines Systems zur automatisierten Messung, Analyse und Bewertung des Tierwohls von Milchkühen in Brandenburger Milchviehbetrieben. Die physiologischen Messgrößen sollen mithilfe eines Ohrmarkensystems tierindividuell, sensortechnisch erfasst werden. Die mittels chronobiologischer Regulationsdiagnostik ausgewerteten Daten sind in Form einer übersichtlichen Tierwohlampel darzustellen. Im Ergebnis werden betriebsspezifische Hinweise zur Optimierung des Tierwohls sowie Empfehlungen zu Fruchtbarkeit und Tiergesundheit erarbeitet. Die Tierwohlampel soll in die Brandenburger Wertschöpfungskette integriert werden.
