Digital twins of free ventilated dairy barns

How does the air flow through an open stable building and what air pollutants are released as a result? We answer this with the help of a "digital twin".

Assistence Systems for Intelligent Cattle Husbandary - "CattleHub"

Digitalization and automation are of increasing importance in modern cattle farming. The “CattleHub” experimental field is intended to support the interdisciplinary development and establishment of assistance systems for all cattle farming. For this reason, digital technologies and sensors are examined and evaluated in six experimental areas. The results will be used to improve decision-making and animal welfare when using digital assistance systems.

Effect of inhibited ammonium sulphate urea on the increase of the nitrogen use efficiency and reduction of ammonia and nitrous oxide emissions due to mineral fertilization

The focus of Win-N is increasing the N use efficiency and competitiveness in the cultivation of commodity crops in combination with reducing nitrous oxide and ammonia emissions through the use of urease and nitrification inhibitors.

Fertilizer concentrates from residuals (DüaR)

Development and testing of an innovative and environmetally sound manure and digestate processing for the production of a solid humus product with phosphorus enrichment and simultaneous nitrogen separation in a transportable form as a liquid fertilizer.
