Leibniz Institute for Agricultural Engineering and Bioeconomy
The Leibniz Institute for Agricultural Engineering and Bioeconomy (ATB) has been working on methods for recording stress and animal welfare in farm animals, including dairy cows, for a relatively long time. Methodological approaches such as sensor-based data acquisition and animal-specific analysis will be used in the HorseWatch project.

Tierklinik Wusterhausen
Specialist veterinary practice for horses Dr. Michael Köhler
One of the clinic's main areas of work has long been the treatment of orthopedic problems. Due to the location in an active breeding region and the close cooperation with the foundation of the Brandenburg Main and County Stud, especially young horses on their way to sporting use are in the focus of the work.
Dr. Michael Köhler also has relevant experience in the field of national and international equestrian sports, which is incorporated into the work on the HorseWatch research project. In this field of work as well, the focus is particularly on Welfare for the Horse.
