Hohenheim Feeding Value Test Services
The Hohenheim Feeding Value Test was established in the 1980s to determine the energy content of feed for ruminants. The determination of the gas volume produced on the one hand and the chromatographic analysis of the liquid and gaseous phases on the other hand allow the use of this test, modified by us, as a screening tool for the in vitro investigation of different active substances. This test system can be used to assess both the effects of the substances on the utilization of various feed materials and the effects on methane formation in the rumen. Reproducibility and the significance of the results are ensured by controlled conditions in animal husbandry and by standardized analysis in the laboratory. According to the 3R rule (Reduce-Replace-Refine), the performance of in vitro experiments in modified HFT helps to minimize the number of animal experiments necessary for the development of feed additives for ruminants.
