Research into the optimization of group housing of does Research Institute for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food
The KONSEMI project works on group housing in the rabbit sector, in particular on the question under what conditions it is possible to provide a regime of part-time group housing for does. Since 2016, meat rabbits must be kept in enriched group parks. For the time being, however, does are kept individually. Aggression among does after parturition is one of the major problems when they are kept ...

Sustainable soils by quality compost with defined properties Research Institute for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food
In the Soilcom project, high-quality, tailor-made composts with well defined properties and effects were developed and characterized. These composts can help fighting the rapid soil degradation that can occur in intensive agricultural systems such as in the North Sea region. Biological residual flows, such as fruit, vegetable and garden waste and harvest residues, were used as raw materials in the compost ...

Demonstratie en validatie van industrie 4.0 technologieën voor toepassing in innovatieve leermethodieken Catalisti
Industry 4.0 technologies and digitalisation provide interesting opportunities for educating and training individual employees. Despite such technological developments being rapid and numerous, companies in the chemical, plastics and process industries rarely implement them in new learning and training methods.
In the “Opleiden 4.0” project, Catalisti – together with imec, Karel de Grote Hogeschool and ACTA – seeks to develop, test ...
Development of a NIRS calibration to estimate cell wall digestibility of silage maize for a better variety choice in function of ration and cattle type Research Institute for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food
The aim of this research is to develop a robust NIRS calibration to estimate the cell wall digestibility (NDFD) of silage maize varieties. The NDFD is an additional nutritional parameter, which is added to the so-called 'variety list' -the official assessment of the (new and recent) commercial maize varieties. This parameter allows farmers to better choose their seed in function of their own ...
Safe and high-performance food packaging in a circular economy Flanders' FOOD
Companies are regularly confronted with questions about the sustainability and food safety of their packaged foods and there are currently few or no specific studies available that take into account the entire chain (raw material; use; end-of-life). The general objective is the development of a scan (decision support system) for companies to make more informed choices about sustainable materials management for food packaging. The project is ...
