Brandenburger Innovationsfachkräfte Program

Since January 1, 2024

We have launched the ‘Brandenburger Innovationsfachkräfte (BIF 2022)’ project of the Ministerium für Wirtschaft, Arbeit und Energie via die ILB! This great initiative is designed to drive innovation and growth within small and medium-sized enterprises by supporting the employment of talented training graduates. By this funding, we could hire a talented graduate as an innovation assistant, contributing to the company’s forward-thinking approach and projects.

Focus on Stronger Pig Bones
The Swiss breeding company Suisag, FBN Dummerstorf, and POROUS have launched the “PigBoneS” project to breed pigs with improved phosphorus utilization and stronger bones.

POROUS uses a non-invasive 3D ultrasound method to measure bone density and stability in slaughtered animals, primarily Swiss Large White pigs. The forefoot (metacarpus) serves as an indicator of bone health, complemented by blood analyses for phosphorus utilization markers. The aim is to identify genetic markers for these traits.

The project promotes bone health while reducing phosphorus excretion. It is supported by the Eureka Eurostars program, Innosuisse, and the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF).
