Topics for interdisciplinary project work

Also as a possible preparation for professional interviews and exams. Can be creative (interviews, quizzes, expert discussions...).

Topic for a project, bachelor's or master's thesis

In our current project with Angler Saddleback pigs, we are working intensively on the feeding of roughage to pigs. This raises the question of how silage should be obtained and prepared so that optimum quality can be achieved in terms of nutrient content and palatability.

Information on the topic is to be systematically compiled as part of a literature search. In addition, it would be possible to conduct interviews with pilot farms in this area in order to compile key findings.

(Start possible immediately; first supervisor: Margret Krieger; second supervisor: Anna Olschewsky)
