Leibniz Institute for Farm Animal Biology (FBN)

The Leibniz Institute for Farm Animal Biology (FBN) researches the functional biodiversity of farm animals in the context of the specific environments in which they are kept and derives sustainable solutions for farm animal husbandry.

Three programme areas - basis of our research conception

PA1: Biodiversity & Adaptation

Animals differ in the quantitative as well as qualitative expression of their characteristics (biodiversity) and in their ability to adapt more or less successfully to changing environmental conditions (adaptation).

PA2: Animal Welfare & Animal Health

Today, the sustainable safeguarding of animal health and welfare of animals under human care is a main task coherently recognized and demanded by science, society, policy and economy.

PA3: Resource Utilisation & Environmental Interactions

Careful treatment of the environment is a key requirement for future livestock farming, with the anticipated climate change posing a particular challenge.
