offshore work, there is still the problem that the advancing corrosion of the metal casings is increasingly causing toxic substances to enter the sea, where they endanger the health of animals and ultimately [...] chemical warfare agents dumped in the oceans, especially after the two world wars, are increasingly becoming a danger to humans and the environment. In addition to the risk of explosion, for example during [...] geophysical methods, the detection will be based on the chemical detection of ammunition compounds and chemical warfare agents using mass spectrometry. The basic tasks include the evaluation of ionization

bone mass and bone length of the tibiotarsus, and X-rays of the bones are taken to examine the influence of aviary opening times on these characteristics. The influence of the dietary fibre content on gizzard [...] gizzard development is determined by measuring the thickness of the gizzard wall. In addition, a possible influence of the feed variants on the masses of the small intestine, large intestine and gizzard [...] conducted to determine nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) retention in the body. The aim of the OptiLeg project is to sustainably extend the productive lifespan of laying hens through optimized rearing and feeding

regressions to estimate the relationship between farm characteristics and pesticide use. The results showed a decreasing gradient in pesticide use intensity from the west to the east in Northern Germany [...] intensity. However, analysis of variance components showed that the influence of the natural gradient is smaller than the influence of the farm. Hence, differ-ences in farm management and socio-economic [...] . Furthermore, the results demonstrate that pesticide use will be affect-ed by farm-specific factors; the variability of glyphosate use was mainly influenced by the factor farm.
