Commercialization of PDMA (Partially Digested Macroalgae) to decarbonize animal feeds by improved control of macroalgae fermentation processes
SBC: OCEAN ERA INC Topic: 88Farmed marine macroalgae present a carbon negative opportunity for feedstuff production as theydo not require land conversion fertilizers or freshwater. Macroalgae are already used in smallquantities in some animal diets but the complex polysaccharides are largely indigestible. Trials atOcean Era have shown that the microbes from herbivorous reef fish can be used as the inoculum fordeconstruction ...

Non-Invasive Bovine Embryo Assessment using AI and Impedance Spectroscopy
SBC: Hawai'i Innovation Laboratory, Inc. Topic: 83Project Summary/AbstractIn vitro fertilization (IVF) and embryo transfer (ET) are well-established assisted reproductivetechniques in the cattle industry. The protocols have matured through decades of improvementsyet the conception rate following IVF/ET in cattle is around 35-45%. The major limiting factorsfor ET and IVF are labor-intensive protocols dependence on practitioner expertise poor super ...

Precocious puberty in Seriola rivoliana: induction of early maturation to accelerate selective breeding outcomes in high-value finfish
SBC: OCEAN ERA INC Topic: 87The proposed work directly responds to USDA SBIR Research Priority 8.7 Aquaculture bydeveloping methods to accelerate maturity in Seriola rivoliana (a high-value marine finfish). Thiswill reduce generation time allowing for accelerated selective breeding programs. The objectivesof Phase II are to use hormonal and molecular tools to induce puberty and yield reproductivelymature broodfish at the ear ...

Topic: 8699999999999999Aquaponics is a rapidly emerging form of agriculture poised to provide farmers a highly sustainableand profitable means of producing locally-grown nutritious food. The majority of commercialaquaponics farmers utilize deep-water culture (DWC) systems with floating rafts and usuallyfabricate their own rafts from construction-grade insulation boards. However these "homemade"rafts pose a variety of fo ...

Enhanced Bacterial Viability of Freeze-dried Probiotics using the Supercooling Pretreatment
SBC: JUN INNOVATIONS INC Topic: 85Freeze-drying is the state of the art in drying for preparation of such susceptible probiotics withminimum losses in quality. However the freezing process can lead to cell damages due to icecrystal formation resulting in reduction in the viability and physiological functionality ofprobiotics. In temperature drops from 37 to -80 degC with slow drop rates there was a considerableloss of cell viabili ...
