Diverse aspects of cattle, pig and poultry husbandry are studied, rather in the perspective of a system. To increase social acceptability of livestock production, research focuses on the development of methods and strategies to evaluate and improve animal welfare.

The Division MeBios (Mechatronics, Biostatistics and Sensors) investigates the interaction between biological systems and physical processes. The emphasis is on the measurement of properties of biological products and process variables, the analysis of the measured signals by means of advanced statistical methods, process and equipment design, optimisation and control. Mathematical models to describe the working principles of biological ...
