FLI - Institute of animal nutrition (FLI-ITE)
The professional discipline Animal Nutrition, consisting of Nutritional Physiology, Feed Science and Animal Feeding, deals with the effective conversion of feedstuff components into high quality foods of animal origin and other animal products with special consideration of the ecological and economic aspects as well as a focus on animal health.
