    Animal Health in Outside Climate Housing with Kennels for Fattening Pigs
    (2001) Hornauer, Norbert; Haidn, Bernhard; Schön, Hans
    For the assessment of the health status of fattening pigs in two outside climate stalls with resting kennels and a conventional warm house, their nasal flora was tested for four pathogens. Pasteurella haemolytica and Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae could not be found. It was possible to isolate Pasteurella multocida and Bordetella bronchiseptica from ani- mals in every stall compartment. The percentage of germ carriers deve- loped non-uniformly in the systems and mostly without significant diffe- rences. A clear connection between detectable pathogens and lung dia- gnoses in the slaughterhouse could not be established. Damage to the integument (bursae auxiliares at the limbs) did not show any clear diffe- rences between the housing systems. With regard to the locomotor system, all three systems are characterized by few lame animals and prove flawless housing.

    Außenklima-Kistenstall : Funktionsbereiche und deren Nutzung durch Mastschweine
    (2001) Hornauer, Norbert; Haidn, Bernhard; Schön, Hans
    In einem Systemvergleich wurde das Tierverhalten unter Praxisbedingungen in einem Außenklima-Kistenstall mit Teilspaltenboden, einem Außenklimastall mit eingestreutem Kotplatz und einem herkömmlichen Warmstall analysiert. Es traten keine grundsätzlichen Unterschiede zu Tage. Einflüsse des Außen- und Stallklimas, des Tiergewichts und der Funktionsbereiche wurden deutlich. Eine gute Durchlüftung der Kiste im Sommer ist Erfolg bestimmend. Im Vergleich zum herkömmlichen Warmstall zeigen sich ähnliche Verhaltensanteile.

    Bavarian animal welfare pilot farms - Labor input by comparison
    (2007) Haidn, Bernhard; Schleicher, Thomas; Macuhová, Juliana
    The aim of this working time study was to obtain basic data from all 34 monitored farms with different farm ac- tivities. Moreover, an overview of the labor management and working conditions in Bavarian livestock husband- ries was to be given to assess their national and interna- tional level. To collect labor input data, the farmers kept working diaries for 16 weeks over one or more periods (e.g. at least during one whole fattening period, or dis- tributed equally over the whole year), depending on their specialization. They were to enter all working procedures performed during this period. For seven farms the re- cording quality was evaluated as “unsatisfactory” or “in- sufficient”. Reliable data on labor input were obtained from the others. For the 12 dairy farms (18–99 cows) a labor input of 42 – 114 working hours (WH) per cow and year was ascertained. Milking, feeding, young cattle care and management required the greatest shares of working time in descending order. Only five farms do not exceed the available labor capacity. Three organic farms keeping 20–52 suckler cows had a labor input of 16–27 WH per cow and year. These are typical results for the herd sizes observed. In the piggeries the organic production method had a bearing on the labor input. Three organic farms keeping breeding sows needed 22–35 WH per sow and year, while four conventional farms had results between 10 and 14 WH per sow und year. Also in the pig fatten- ing activity the one organic farm tested differs substan- tially (3.7 WH per pig place and year) from the three conventional farms with 0.6–1.1 WH per pig place and year. In pig fattening production, the labor input is be- tween 4 and 98 % of the available work capacity. This was mostly influenced by the volume of production and the better utilization of the housing capacity after moving into a new building. Three farms with laying hens (500– 3,000 hen places) had a decreasing labor input per place und year with increasing herd size. Only 15–30 % of their available work capacity was used.

    Outdoor Climate Kennel Housing : Functional Areas and Their Frequentation by Fattening Pigs
    (2001) Hornauer, Norbert; Haidn, Bernhard; Schön, Hans
    Animal behaviour was analyzed under practical conditions in an out- door-climate kennel house with a partially slatted floor, an outdoor cli- mate stall with a littered dung area, and a conventional warm stall. No fundamental differences were found. However, influences of the outdoor- and stall climate, the animal weight, and the functional areas were shown. Good ventilation of the kennel in the summer is decisive for suc- cess. In comparison with the conventional warm stall, the percentage of the different modes of behaviour is similar.

    Tiergesundheit im Außenklima-Kistenstall für Mastschweine
    (2001) Hornauer, Norbert; Haidn, Bernhard; Schön, Hans
    Zur Bewertung des Gesundheitszustandes von Mastschweinen in zwei Außenklimaställen mit Ruhekisten und einem konventionellen Warmstall wurde deren Nasalflora auf vier Erreger untersucht. Pasteurella hämolytica und Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae konnten nicht festgestellt werden. Pasteurella multocida und Bordetella bronchiseptica konnten von Tieren jeden Stallabteils isoliert werden. Der Anteil der Keimträger entwickelte sich in den Systemen uneinheitlich und meist ohne signifikante Unterschiede. Ein eindeutiger Zusammenhang zwischen nachweisbaren Erregern und Lungenbefunden am Schlachthof konnte nicht festgestellt werden. Schäden am Integument (Hilfsschleimbeutel an den Gliedmaßen) ergaben keine eindeutigen Unterschiede zwischen den Stallsystemen. Hinsichtlich des Bewegungsapparates zeichnen sich alle drei Systeme durch wenige lahmende Tiere aus und belegen die mängelfreien Aufstallungen.
