‘You have to run to at least stay on the spot, otherwise you'll fall behind.’ We will always remember this quote from our founding director Dr.-Ing. Gerhard Welschof. He shaped the Leibniz-Institut für Agrartechnik und Bioökonomie e.V. (ATB) with his energy and vision. We bid farewell to a pioneer of agricultural engineering and an inspiring colleague.

Stallluft – eine Gefahr für Tier und Mensch? Im dem Projekt "AirBarn" sollen Aerosole in und aus Tierställen als potentielle Gefahrenquelle für luftübertragene Krankheitserreger untersucht werden. Bekannt ist, dass durch den Einsatz von Antibiotika in der Landwirtschaft Antibiotikaresistente Bakterien auftreten. Inwieweit Umwelteinflüsse die Zusammensetzung der Bakterien in Bioaerosolen verändern können und wo Gefahren für den Menschen, aber auch für die Umwelt entstehen, sind noch offene Forschungsfragen: https://lnkd.in/dK9VeiRd __________ Air in livestock barns - a danger for animals and humans? In the seed money project AirBarn, aerosols inside and from animal barns are investigated as a potential source for airborne pathogens. It is known that the use of antibiotics in agriculture often selects antibiotic-resistant bacteria, but the extent to which environmental influences can change the composition of bacteria in bioaerosols and where risks arise for humans and the environment are still open research questions: https://lnkd.in/d_zyF_UE Koordinierende Institute /Coordinating Institutes: - Leibniz-Institut für Agrartechnik und Bioökonomie e.V.
