The range of responsibilities of consultants will be defined, recommendations shall be given how responsible consultation can be put into practice. Concepts and material for further training courses will be developed, which on one hand clarify the responsibility of consultants and on the other hand also convey the aspects of animal ethics in counselling.

Behavioural traits and personality in the strawberry poison frog, Oophaga pumilio
Verhaltensmerkmale und Persönlichkeiten beim Erdbeerfrosch, Oophaga pumilio
Project Investigators: Ricardo Cossio; Prof. Dr. Heike Pröhl; Dr. Ariel Rodríguez
Duration: February 2019 until December 2022
Funding: Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute, Panama Secretaria Nacional de Ciencia y Tecnologia, Panama, 37.170 EUR
Project Details:
Variation in biological traits is universal in natural populations and has significant evolutionary and ecological consequences. Behavioral traits or combinations of traits are important as they may affect the survival and reproductive success of individuals. Studies have shown that animal personalities and behavioral traits covary with ecological conditions, dependent on the state of the individual, and can be maintained by frequency dependent selection. Animal personalities have been often been classified along five behavioral axes, namely, shyness-boldness, exploration-avoidance, activity, aggressiveness, and sociability. Some studies have shown that amphibians display personality and behavioral traits. However, implications of animal personality in ecological context remain largely unexplored in amphibians. Neotropical poison frogs are toxic and diurnal amphibians with highly evolved parental care and territorial behavior. In this study, we will investigate behavioral traits and personality of the strawberry poison frog within and between populations that differ in their anti-predator strategy (level of aposematism). Therefore, we will examine variations in exploratory, risk-taking and aggressive behavior by running standardized laboratory-based trials on wild-caught adult O. pumilio. Each frog will be tested in three behavioral trials, with the following sequence: exploration, risk-taking and aggressiveness. Within a population, we expect individuals present variations in behavioral traits and personality, and that behavioral traits might be correlated (syndrome). Among populations we expect more aposematic frogs (brighter coloration, higher toxicity) to be more explorative, bold and aggressive than less aposematic frogs.

Comparison of different Exercise Tests for the application in dogs
Vergleich verschiedener Belastungstests zum Einsatz beim Hund
Project Investigators: Dr. Jan-Peter Bach; Prof. Dr. I. Nolte; Dr. Lisa Harder; Rebekka Mach
Duration: May 2019 until April 2022
Project Details:
In der Vergangenheit sind zahlreiche Belastungstests beim Hund zum Einsatz gekommen. Hierbei handelt es sich meist um Adaptionen von Tests, die beim Menschen eingesetzt werden. Unter anderem wird in diversen Studien der 6-Minute-Walk-Test verwendet. Bei diesem Test wird die Strecke gemessen, die ein Patient im Rahmen von 6 Minuten zurücklegen kann. In einem Forschungsprojekt soll nun die Aussagekraft und Zuverlässigkeit dieses Tests mit der eines standardisierten, laufbandgestützten Belastungstests verglichen werden.

KoMARe II: Development of operational and process engineering solutions for sustainable, nitrogen-efficient and animal-friendly indoor shrimp production based on Biofloc Technology (BFT)
KoMARe II: Entwicklung betriebs- und verfahrenstechnischer Lösungen für eine nachhaltige, Stickstoff-effiziente und tiergerechte Indoor-Garnelenproduktion auf Basis der Biofloc Technologie (BFT)
Project Investigators: Steinhagen, Dieter; Jung-Schroers, Verena
Duration: August 2019 until March 2022
Funding: Deutsche Bundesstiftung Umwelt, 98.149 EUR
Project Details:
Die Aufzucht von aquatischen Organismen zur Gewinnung von Lebensmitteln in Kreislaufanlagen in Gebäuden an Land ist aus Gründen des Umweltschutzes (Vermeiden von Nährstoff-Eintrag in Gewässer) und Sicherstellung der Wasserversorgung der Aquakultur angesichts eines stark schwankenden Wasserangebots durch den Klimawandel dringend geboten. Allerdings ist die Technologie hinsichtlich Nachhaltigkeit und Tierwohl noch nicht ausgereift und daher verbesserungswürdig. Die relativ junge und in Europa noch wenig realisierte Biofloc-Technologie (BFT) bietet nach dem derzeitigen internationalen Stand der Kenntnis für die Zielstellung einer nachhaltigen Aquakultur ein bedeutendes Potenzial, das es zu entwickeln gilt. Das Potenzial von BFT-Systemen zur Umweltentlastung bei der Aufzucht von tropischen Riesengarnelen (Litopenaeus vannamei)besteht im Vergleich zu herkömmlichen Kreislaufanlagen darin, dass aus Detritus, Bakterienkolonien und kleinen Wirbellosen bestehende Bioflocken von Garnelen als Nahrung aufgenommen werden können und so zu einer Re-zirkulation von Nährstoffen (Stickstoff, Phosphor, organische Reststoffe), verbunden mit einem reduzierten Ressourceneinsatz (Wasser, Futtermittel), zu einer geringeren Freisetzung von eutrophierenden Stickstoff- und Phosphorverbindungen und letztlich zu einer erhöhten Biosicherheit und Produktivität bei einem niedrigeren spezifischen Energieverbrauch führen. Darüber hinaus kann die Verwendung von Bioflocken, die in ihrer Zusammensetzung der natürlichen Nahrung von Garnelen entsprechen, zu einer Verbesserung des Tierwohls durch verbesserte Fütterung führen.

Ethical orientation for livestock farming
Ethische Orientierung für die Nutztierhaltung (EthOrNu)
Project Investigators: Kunzmann, Peter; Hartstang,Sebastian; Thumann, Gil
Duration: October 2019 until August 2022
Funding: Bundesministerium für Ernährung und Landwirtschaft , 190.960 EUR
Project Details:
Animals have become a core moral issue in Western societies. All those who earn their money from animals should be able to think through their position and present it in a well-considered manner. However, the experiences of recent years also show how relatively quiet the voices from agriculture are in an ever louder concert on this topic. In this sense, a solid project on ethics in livestock farming serves the purpose of self-positioning internally and the ability to engage in discourse externally. The basis of the project is to be a well-founded, applied ethical analysis of the current debate on animal husbandry, from which a handbook will be centrally produced.

Translated with DeepL.com (free version)
Results:

EthOrNu should offer "ethical orientation for livestock farming"" in several respects: It should make the moral discourses in society more understandable for those involved who earn their money from livestock farming, and at the same time create an offer to position themselves in these discourses. Conversely, it is intended to open up relevant agricultural expertise for those interested in ethical issues and to help them make informed judgments about animal husbandry. The novelty lies in this bridge, which can be crossed from both sides. Only by combining both elements is it possible to make a competent assessment of the real and concrete conditions in livestock farming. The central building block for this is the creation of a handbook that presents relevant knowledge in an attractive way for both sides and opens up the possibility of further use. From the handbook, it will be possible to develop materials that also make the results accessible for the specific (initial, further and continuing) training of livestock farmers. Furthermore, central contents and theses from the project were tested in the field, e.g. in a larger presentation of the ""decision cascade"" at the Animal Welfare Day in Triesdorf (April 2022). The collaboration with the ""Responsibility of advisors in livestock farming"" project also made it possible to discuss the key ethical content of the handbook with a highly interesting target group, namely agricultural advisors, at several workshops."
