About Us
Innovation means both innovation and change. We focus on both, as they are essential foundations for today's livestock farming to ensure species-appropriate and sustainable operation. TrophoSYS GmbH develops innovative technologies and products specifically for this market, making a significant contribution to improving animal welfare, human nutrition, and the global resource situation.
The meat and dairy industries are facing global challenges that are inexorably driving the industrialization process. The development of technologies that are primarily safe for human health is essential in this industry and a primary goal of our product development.
Building on this focus, the company strives to provide urgently needed alternatives in the rearing of farm animals in order to enable responsible use of resources while observing basic ethical principles and avoiding genetic manipulation.
Our expertise
Analyse
We analyze a given situation, seek solutions, and focus on innovative processes and technologies that form the basis for improvement.
Conception
With our entire team, we take ideas that we consider valid and, based on our experience and knowledge, develop a concept that enables successful implementation.
Implementation
The approved concept will then be implemented according to the planned milestones with our team and suitable partners until it is ready for series production.
Quality
We place the highest value on first-class quality. Only products that meet our high quality standards and are certified find their way to our customers. We ensure this quality through extensive product testing and studies.
Efficiency
Time is money – for our customers too. That's why we work with optimized processes and a well-coordinated on-site team. This way, we can guarantee that our offerings are tailored to the customer's workflow.
sustainability
It is important to us that our technologies and processes are implemented sustainably, ethically and in harmony with nature.
Our projects
Initial successes have already been achieved after a very short period of time, and it is already evident that the combination of entrepreneurial experience and scientific expertise is the best foundation for a successful project. In conjunction with the high-quality network of partners, the conditions are always in place to implement all individual projects quickly and with high quality.
Solutions for cattle breeding
TrophoSYS's innovative methods enable cattle breeding to improve breeding results by separating live and dead cells in the ejaculate, and to enable targeted breeding by separating X and Y chromosome-containing sperm.
The company is breaking new ground worldwide with its live/dead separation process and is currently the only provider with this highly efficient technology. Device development has been completed, toxicity tests have already been successfully conducted, and the necessary field studies have begun.
TrophoSYS is taking a unique approach to separating X- and Y-chromosome-containing sperm, using a highly efficient technology that has never been used before. The device development is complete, but the biotechnological finalization of the process is still pending and has not yet been finalized.Even today, in the current proof-of-concept stage, sperm can be separated into female and male cells to over 90%, with almost native cell health and high yield.
Our technologies are based on the utilization of different surface properties of the respective cell species, as well as on the use of specially developed excipient concepts that significantly enhance the differentiation of these surface properties. The actual separation takes place in a device developed by TrophoSYS, which has no negative impact on cell health or even can lead to genetic manipulation.
Solutions for other animal species
The success of the separation technology, which has so far been designed for cattle, has led TrophoSYS to already be taking preparatory measures to extend the technology concept to other mammals.
Other areas of livestock breeding are also highly interested in improving and optimizing ejaculates and in a functioning sex-specific separation method.TrophoSYS’ separation technologies represent solutions that can, in principle, enable effective and economical breeding.
Our goals
With its innovative projects, devices and processes, TrophoSYS not only aims to create an economic success model, but also to contribute to improving the nutritional situation while simultaneously reducing emissions through the use of new technologies.
The company aims to develop separation technologies with the following properties:
Highly effective and high-throughput
No impairment of cell health
No use of genetic manipulative techniques
Cost-effective
Location-flexible deployment
Application at the customer on-demand
Consistent implementation by the end customer can enable optimized and targeted breeding, resulting in greater economic efficiency while simultaneously reducing emissions, and a smaller overall stock producing the same output as currently.
This in turn also meets the demands regarding climate targets, since fewer animals also means less feed and land requirements as well as less CO2, methane and faeces production.
TrophoSYS is thus developing urgently needed processes that serve both animal welfare and the climate, as well as ensuring greater efficiency and profitability, thus allowing farmers to manage their livestock sustainably and carefully.
In summary, the new procedures for managing resources represent a significant improvement:
Less CO2 emissions
Less land and water consumption
Less feces
More animal welfare
More efficiency
More sustainability
We are convinced that we will be able to extend the processes we have developed to other animal species in the future and thus offer added value to the entire agricultural production in the area of livestock rearing.
