Fritz Haring

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Fritz Haring (born January 11, 1907 in Dessau , † September 24, 1990 in Göttingen ) was a German university lecturer for animal breeding.

Life

After graduating from high school in Ballenstedt , he was an apprentice and administrator at the sugar factory in Hoym from 1925 to 1928 . He then studied agricultural science at the University of Jena and the Friedrichs University in Halle . In 1929 he became a member of the Corps Guestphalia Jena . In 1932/33 he was a scientific assistant in the experimental pig farming department in Ruhlsdorf . He did his doctorate at the Institute for Animal Breeding and Dairy Production in Halle under Gustav Frölich as Dr. rer. nat. In 1934 he started a new job here, became a research assistant for the state pig fattening performance test in Lettin (Halle) and also dealt with feeding experiments with dairy cows and pigs. From 1937 he was the general manager of the Reich Association of German Pig Breeders. V. - affiliated to the Reichsnährstand - in Berlin as well as editor of the magazine “Schweinzucht, Schweinemast und Schweinhaltung”. Drafted in August 1944, he suffered a serious wound in the last year of the war.

In 1946 Haring returned to Halle and became a consultant for animal husbandry and breeding in the working group for experimental goods at the Martin Luther University in Halle to coordinate scientific tasks. Here he advised the economic managers of 9 companies in the province of Saxony (from 1947 Saxony-Anhalt) on setting up pig herdbook breeding. In addition, he took on lectures at the university, completed his habilitation in early 1949 with Joachim-Friedrich Langlet in the field of animal breeding and feeding theory and became a lecturer. In April of the same year, Haring was appointed professor with a chair for animal breeding at the University of Rostock and at the same time as head of the Center for Animal Breeding (founded in 1939 as Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Animal Breeding Research, from 1946 Central Research Institute for Animal Breeding) in Dummerstorf near Rostock.

In August 1952 he followed the call of the Georg-August-Universität Göttingen to the chair for animal breeding. He was then director of the Institute for Animal Breeding and Pet Genetics. The main focus of the scientific work was the breeding improvement of the quantitative and qualitative performance characteristics of farm animals (increase in milk yield, increase and quality improvement in meat production in cattle, pigs, sheep, poultry) while increasing reproductive performance. With the breeding of the Göttingen mini pig (from 1960), model animals became effective for basic research in many areas. Finally, Haring had the increase in animal production in tropical and subtropical locations processed as an important field of activity for better food supply in these regions.

In 23 years as an academic teacher in Rostock and Göttingen, he supervised 231 diploma theses, 134 dissertations and 8 habilitation theses. Many of his former employees later worked in science (15 as professors), in the state animal breeding administration, in associations, in school service or in business. The results of the research work were published in over 400 scientific publications as well as in 6 textbooks and handbooks. Haring also made a special effort to ensure that numerous foreign people study in Göttingen or do their doctorate at the Animal Breeding Institute and that important scientists can convey their findings and experiences as guests in lectures and lectures here.

Honors

Appreciation

In the first period of his career, Haring dealt with breeding issues as well as various feeding experiments. During his time as general manager and editor, he promoted German pig breeding and its performance testing. As a university lecturer, he practiced a fruitful collaboration between science and practice. He recognized important questions in the conversion of the breeding goals to the beef pig, the development of the self-performance and station test on meat performance in beef and pork. He and his employees were always looking for application-oriented solutions for breeders, the industry and consumers.
