Oats are a whole-grain cereal, known scientifically as Avena sativa. They are mainly grown in North America and Europe. This whole-grain are a very good source of fiber, and are high in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. Oats contain more soluble fiber than other grains, leading to slower digestion, increased satiety and suppression of appetite.

Forage quality is a direct reflection of its essential nutrient content and availability to the consuming animal.
The concept behind the detergent fiber analysis is that plant cell substances can be divided into less digestible cell walls (made of hemicellulose, cellulose and lignin) and the highly digestible cell contents (containing starch and sugars).

Fat is an important nutrient in feed rations for cattle, pig, poultry, sheep, horse and pet foods, as a high energy feed ingredient. They are very concentrated sources of energy when added to animal feeds to increase the energy density of the ration.

Fibre is the indigestible part of plant foods. It is classed as a complex carbohydrate that is resistant to digestion in the small intestine. The performance of VELP FIWE Fiber analyzer was evaluated by participating in the proficiency testing program organized by BIPEA.

It is always more important to know the ingredients and amount of all the components, for different reasons, including legal and nutritional purposes (labeling).

Fiber is nutritionally important because it represents the organic portion of feeds and foods that is the most difficult to digest. Download the Application Note to appreciate the results obtanined with the FIWE Advance

The digestion phase is the most time-consuming step of the Kjeldahl analysis. Speeding up the process and ensuring a proper outcome is of fundamental importance when it comes to efficiency in the laboratory.
VELP designed seven different types of accurately pre-dosed KjTabs™ tablets to speed up the mineralization process. Along with catalysts, VELP produces antifoaming KjTabs™ to reduce foam formation during the initial phase of the mineralization process.

Protein content of malting barley is important because it affects malting, brewing, and their end products. Discover more on the results obtained with Kjeldahl and Dumas Method

Protein is a critical nutrient in cattle, pigs, poultry, sheep, horses and pet food diets. The protein requirements of cattle vary with age, size, and expected performance. Learn how to obtain excellent performance with NDA Series and how to work in accordance with AOAC.

Protein is a critical nutrient in cattle, pigs, poultry, sheep, horses and pet food diets. It is required for milk production and reproductive tract reconditioning after calving.
Learn how to obtain excellent performance with DK / DKL and UDK Series and how to work in accordance with AOAC.

Rapeseed meal, called canola meal in North America, Australia and some other countries, is a high protein-containing material that can be used as a feed for livestock and poultry. Typical meal contains a little less than 40% of protein; however it also contains about 12% of crude fiber.
