Microbes are capable of producing sustainable binding agents for mining and construction. Dr. Luitpold Fried received the 2025 Innovation Prize from the Association for General and Applied Microbiology (VAAM) for this idea. At the biotechnology company Bind-X GmbH, he and his team optimized microbially produced calcite for industrial applications in mining, road construction, and agriculture. This saves up to 90 percent CO₂… Read more »
Researchers have discovered that even under organic feeding and husbandry conditions, good and economically viable fattening performance can be achieved with fast-growing turkeys. According to their findings, restricted energy and amino acid supply, as well as organically compliant husbandry conditions, have no negative impact on growth. The research teams investigated the effects of different feeding regimes. All regimes were compared with the fast-growing BUT 6 breed and the slow-growing Auburn breed… Read more »
