Organisation profile:
There are three main research objectives. In the first place, research in nutrition physiology should fine-tune the supply of nutrients with the requirements of the animal. In close relation with the latter, efforts are done to reduce the excretion of minerals into the environment. Functional animal nutrition sensu stricto aims to improve not only animal health but also to increase the health value of animal products for the consumer.
