Lameness, which is usually the cause of a painful claw disease, continues to be the third most common reason for culling on dairy-producing farms in Germany. Claw diseases are not only painful, affecting both health and ...
Optimization of point grids in regional satellite gravity analysis using a Bayesian approach
(2020-03-25)
The subject of this thesis is the global and regional gravity field determination from GOCE data using the short arc approach. The focus is on the extension of the regional method regarding an adaption of the model resolution ...
Evaluating Novel Vector Control Strategies: Modeling the impact of gene editing for malaria elimination in the Democratic Republic of Congo
(2020-08-06)
The tremendous burden of malaria has led to renewed efforts focusing on malaria elimi-nation in the high burden countries. However, to achieve elimination, novel tools includ-ing driving-Y gene drive mosquitoes may be ...
Regulation of branched-chain amino acid metabolism in major metabolic tissues of dairy cows during late pregnancy and early lactation
(2020-04-01)
For dairy cows, the transition from late pregnancy to early lactation is characterized by dramatic changes in endocrine status, nutrient utilization as well as tissue metabolism. Specific metabolic processes, e.g., in ......
Der Übergang von der späten Trächtigkeit zur frühen Laktation ist bei Milchkühen mit drastischen Veränderungen des endokrinen Status, der Nährstoffverwertung sowie des Gewebestoffwechsels verbunden. Spezielle Stoffwechselprozesse, ......

(2021-04-06)
In sub-Saharan Africa, agriculture contributes up to 50% of the GDP. The increase in agricultural output in the region is predominantly from area expansion instead of improvements in productivity per unit area. In the past, ...
Cultivation and utilization of Hydrangea macrophylla subsp. serrata as feedstock for dihydroisocoumarins and its quality-assessment through non-invasive phenotyping
(2022-05-09)
New and innovative bio-based products of today are regularly inspired by a long-known and traditional use of plants. One such example is the taste modifying phyllodulcin (PD), a dihydroisocoumarin (DHC) only present in ...
Miscanthus as primary feedstock for growing media in soilless cultivation
(2022-06-03)
Dry biomass of miscanthus crop (Miscanthus spp.) is a promising feedstock for soilless substrates in the temperate regions because of its high biomass production under low-input and ecosystem services. The objectives of ......
Disseminating sustainable intensification practices: Empirical evidence from Ghana
(2022-06-02)
Adoption of sustainable intensification (SI) of agricultural practices is essential for increasing food production in more sustainable way. Dis-adoption of agricultural technologies is pervasive among smallholder farmers ...
Advances in technology evaluation and decision support studies using bio-economic farm models
(2022-04-11)
The use of so-called bio-economic farm models makes it possible to determine the most cost-effective adaptation strategy to novel policy measures and to evaluate whether the use of new technologies can be economically ...
