Futtermittelanalytik

Machine-translated from the German article

Feed analysis covers all the investigations required to state the nutritional value and the contaminant content of a feed. For livestock farming, the energy content of feed is today of overriding importance, whereas until the 1970s protein supply was often regarded as the limiting factor. Energy content is calculated from the crude nutrients according to the Weende analysis, or from the fibre fractions according to van Soest, or from in vitro analyses, using energy estimation formulas.
