Pilot 1: Use of management tools based on quality management priciples in an integrated regional pork chain
The team members in this pilot chain will adress issues related to animal health on piglet production level. Salmonella and PRRS1 are in the first place the important parameters to focus on.
The main business partner EGO offers for the R&D activities a fully integrated regional production chain from piglet production over to slaughter facilities through to a meat processing unit. The already existing combined animal health service system that provides preventive veterinary services should be improved fundamentally. This will be done by software based systems developed in close collaboration with two software providers and the University of Bonn. The scientific input on the part of University of Bonn is important related to the analysis of weak points in the existing animal health system and to the conceptual development of supportive software based mangement tools.
