Sept. 20, 2017: 'Dairy cattle in the wind tunnel' from the video series of Bioökonomie.de deals with the current research of Prof. Dr. Thomas Amon and his team of scientists concerning barn climate of natural ventilated animal housings.

The video is available on Bioökonomie.de.

The demands of an animal and environmental friendly animal husbandry have risen, especially in times of climate change. Therefore scientists at the ATB are developing adaptation strategies for sustainable livestock systems of the future. What are the possibilities for optimizing the barn climate, with consideration of different climatic scenarios? How How can animal welfare be measured?
