| Course contents : | 1 Determination of the silage quality (effectiveness of preservation)
2 Determination of the chemical composition and the nutritional value of the silage
3 Identification of a feed based on its chemical composition and tabular values
4 Determination of the biological value of protein sources in the rat and the human |

- Become familar with the the proximal analyses of feedstuffs
- Be able to determine the biological value of the proteins taking into account the results of an animal experiment
- Synthetize and review the results of an experiment in the field of the animal feeding and nutrition |
