Research

Our knowledge on nutrition is based on years of research in different facilities from practical barns to small scale research facilities. By having direct contact with the compound feed industry, suppliers and other research facilities, we are able to focus our research themes on actualities. The aim is to translate the scientific research results to practical situations. The nature of the conducted research depends on the clients wishes. Some research themes that we are studying for many years:

• constant development and improvement of feed evaluation 

• evaluation of feed ingredients

• establish the nutrient requirements of the animal

Although nutrition is our core business, we also relate our research to other aspects like animal health, housing, climate and technology. A few of the possibilities:

• production trials

• digestibility trials

• trials for the aim of product registration

• infection trials

• in vitro trials

Schothorst Feed Research also organizes training and courses, mainly for employees of the compound feed industry. For more information go to: training and courses
