DigiPig ✔
App-aided animal welfare management on the basis of daily animal control and internal self-control of pig rearing businesses
Project description
App-based animal welfare management for pigs
Both the company self-inspection (TierSchG.§11) and the daily animal inspection (TierSchNutztV. §4) are routine documentation on pig farms and are required by law.
The aim of the project was to replace the previous manual documentation using pen and paper with the ‘DigiPig’ app. Based on this, an app-protected animal welfare management system was to be developed that can be used for daily controlling in the barn.
The following results were derived from the project:
- Valuable time can be saved through the APP documentation and direct evaluation.
- Improvement of animal welfare through indicators that provide information on animal welfare.
- All farm members have access to the app and the data.
A detailed project description and summary of the results can be found in the final report and in the practice sheet.
