PigWise - Optimizing per-formance and welfare of fattening pigs using High Frequent Radio Identification (HF RFID) and synergistic control on individual level (Collaborative project)

The aim of the project is to develop an IT based tool that can be used to monitor performance, growth and welfare of pigs at the individual level. This tool allows detecting problems in an early stage (monitoring and decision support) and hence preventing economical losses. A broad approach will be undertaken combining an innovative individual online-monitoring system based on RFID with HF...

OPTIMAL - Genetic and Biomarker-based Predictive Breeding of Maize Cultivars (Collaborative project)

Studies in a highly diverse panel of maize inbred lines showed that metabolitprofiles at an early stage of development contain sufficient information to predict the final biomass yield and to achieve a better selection response than with conventional methods (Riedelsheimer et al. 2012). With a focus on the prediction of the hybrid capacity on the basis of genetic markers and biomarker data of the...

Pro Lignin - High-Value Products from Lignin Side-Streams of Modern Biorefineries (Collaborative project)

The aim of ‘ProLignin’ project is to improve the profitability of present and future biorefineries, i.e. bioethanol production plants and traditional pulp mills, by up-grading of the side-stream lignins to novel high-value products. Substitution of the oil based raw materials with the industrially available lignin residues also creates more sustainable products. Special scientific and...
