| Abstract: |
The laboratory of Animal Nutrition and Animal Production Quality (LANUPRO) focuses on three research disciplines:
- ruminant nutrition and microbial metabolism;
- monogastric nutrition;
- carcass and meat quality.
The group occasionally analyses fish or marine products, but the main focus is on farm animals.
In the marine field, the research and laboratory analyses involve:
- fish muscle food characteristics (fatty acids, heme-Fe, intrinsic antioxidants), in interaction with other foods and food compounds, that relate to the formation of lipid and protein oxidation products during gastrointestinal digestion;
- the potential of algae in animal nutrition for improving animal health or production, for reducing methane production in the rumen, and for enhancing the long chain n-3 PUFA content of animal-source foods;
- analysis of fatty acids and lipid oxidation products on marine products samples as service for third parties.
