Nutritive values and needs

Nutritive values and needs

Proper nutrition is decisive for profitable and sustainable animal husbandry. It is essential to consider the species-specific needs, in coordination with the nutritional values of feedstuff. Supplying enough protein and essential amino acids is a big challenge in monogastric nutrition.

Here you find tools related to feeding requirements, composition and nutritional value of different feeds, as well as feed conversion ratios.
