- basic nutrients (dry matter, crude ash, crude fat, crude fiber and fiber fraction [NDF, ADF and ADL], crude protein, starch and sugar
- amino acids (including sulphur amino acids and tryptophan)
- lipid fractions (fatty acid composition, parameters of fat quality)
- minerals (chloride, phosphorus, calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium, iron, manganese, zinc, copper, molybdenium, cobalt, selenium and iodine)
- undesirable and harmful components of vegetable origin (trypsin inhibitors, urease activity, phytate, undesirable elements and compounds like fluoride, arsenium, nitrite, cadmium, lead, mercury)
- determination of active substances of feed additives and proteinous feed materials in premixes and/or feedingstuffs (vitamins: A, E, B1, B2, ionophore coccidiostats)
- evaluation parameters of feed processing (degree of mixing, effectiveness assessment of mixer, pellet durability).
