Progress for the well-being of animals

At Gut Aiderbichl, we are constantly expanding our knowledge of animal welfare by collaborating on scientific studies and research. It is only on the basis of solid research results that we can better understand animal species and ensure that animals are treated in a way that is adapted to the species.

We would like to share the latest scientific discoveries with society through the cooperation of the Gut Aiderbichl Academy and our public relations work. This guarantees a flow of knowledge and information that represents significant progress for the welfare of animals throughout Europe.

Améliorer la qualité de vie des chevaux

As a European animal welfare organization, Gut Aiderbichl's mission is to improve the quality of life of older animals and to make a significant contribution to a rich ecosystem. In collaboration with the Fondation Sandgrueb and the University of Veterinary Medicine in Vienna, the animals raised at Gut Aiderbichl are observed in order to better understand their social behavior and the composition of their group and, ultimately, to demonstrate the benefits of sustainable ecosystems and their effects on animal health.

In addition, recommendations for Gut Aiderbichl are drawn up based on the results of the observations in order to improve the quality of life of older horses in the long term. This guarantees a flow of knowledge and information that not only leads to new scientific discoveries, but also represents a significant step forward for the welfare of animals throughout Europe. Gut Aiderbichl thus transfers knowledge to a new level and proposes new solutions to protect the health of animals and plants.

Apprendre à mieux comprendre les porcs

In France, there are around 3 million porcs. We already know a lot about their physiological requirements, such as nutrition, reproduction and the conditions that allow them to achieve maximum yields of livestock during fattening.

But porcs are much more than simple suppliers of food. How do porcs think? How do they organize their social environment and do they know how to eat? These are the main questions that an international research team has been studying since 2014 with a troupe of 37 Kune Kune porcs.

The exemplary project for the observation of behavior by Professor Ludwig Huber, Professor Marianne Wondrak and Ariane Veit could not be extended in 2022. The researchers were then faced with the problem of knowing to whom to entrust their cherished cows Kune Kune. Who could take charge of a whole troupe of porcs? That is why we have decided that it was our duty to offer our support and give the porc troop a new home.
