Biotronics develops, manufactures, and sells systems and software that support image capturing, processing, and database processes for both live animals and carcasses. Applications include: assessment of compositional and quality meat traits (backfat, muscle depth, muscle area and percent intramuscular fat or marbling) for seedstock genetic analysis by capturing and processing of real-time ultrasound scans of beef and swine; and assessment of percent lean and amount of marbling for hot pork carcasses at line speed.
Biotronics also provides service of interpretation of food animal ultrasound images using highly skilled personnel along with automated computer-based image processing algorithms.
