Pilot activity based on quality management principles
The team of the first pilot chain (out of nine) consists of the following partners:
Business partners:
The main business partner EGO (Erzeugergemeinschaft Osnabrück)
Software developer Chainfood
Software developer Qualitype
Research partner:
University of Bonn (FoodNetCenter)
Coordination:
GIQS (Trans Border Intergrated Quality Assurance)
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.
