Section overview
Description
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.
Activities
- Research
Parent institution
Friedrich-Loeffler-Institute - Federal Research Institute for Animal Health (FLI)
Coordinated projects

- Molecular mechanisms of toxicity of deoxynivalenol (DON) in pigs
- Preliminary test to determine the effect of concentrate proportion in the ration of dairy cows in the presence or absence of Fusarium toxin-contaminated triticale on the carry-over of DON and de-epoxy-DON as well as yield and health
- Seaweeds and seaweed-ingredients to reduce emissions from pasture-based sheep, cattle and dairy cows
- Studies on ruminal turnover and supply of dairy cows with B-vitamins
- Studies on the effect of CLA on digestive physiology, milk production, composition and the energy and nutrient utilization in dairy cows
- Studies on the transfer of pyrrolizidine alkaloids into livestock
- Treated grains of common vetches (Vicia sativa L.) as protein feed for monogastric farm animals in organic agriculture, Subproject fattening pigs
