The International Ultrasonics Symposium aims to bring together more closely the ultrasonics communities around the world with the ultrasonics industry. The IUS Symposia 2022 will be held from October 10 – 13, 2022 in Lido (Venice, Italy).
Meet our team right there and enter into direct dialogues with the inventor Prof.Dr. Kay Raum and our CTO Jonas Massmann.
We are looking forward to seeing you!
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).
