Screening for new bacterial phytases and evaluation of their properties as well as their potential biotechnological application (Project)

Phytases are a special group of phosphatases, capable of initiating the dephosphorylation of phytate. Phytases dephosphorylate phytate in a stereo- and region-selective manner generating partially phosphorylated myo-inositol phosphates as well as inorganic phosphate. Phyases could be found in plants and microorganisms. They are also present in animal tissues. Up to now, phytases have only found...

Bilateral project - Design of environment-friendly sprayers for bigger fields (Project)

Development of technical solutions for drift mitigation, for agitation systems and systems for sprayer cleaning for wheel sprayers. The structural change in Chinese agriculture causes a decreasing importance of knapsack sprayers; the demand for wheel sprayers is increasing. The aim of the project is to jointly develop environment-friendly sprayers which meet the needs of Chinese agriculture. Main...

Studies on non-aversive gas stunning methods for slaughter pigs (Project)

In recent years, several studies showed evidence of an inadequate anesthesia and of aversive reactions of slaughter pigs during gas stunning with carbon dioxide. Currently, the time to loss of consciousness as well as various ways of reducing the aversive reactions are discussed: for example by use of different concentrations of carbon dioxide or by use of alternative gases. Therefore, the lung...
