Rumen stability: the Aufrère method

Formaldehyde

Historically, formaldehyde was a standard for enhancing the rumen stability of feed raw materials, but with restrictions on its use, we have shifted to safer, technological alternatives.

Aufrère method

But how effective are these alternatives? To investigate this, we employ the Aufrère method, a laboratory technique that provides accurate predictions of the rumen stability of feed raw materials.

The Aufrère method is an example of scientific progress that enriches practical application and underscores the importance of research and innovation in the agricultural sector. Our laboratory remains at the forefront of these developments, supported by advanced analyses and dedicated experts.

Due to its strong correlation with the in vitro techniques of Tilly and Terry, the Aufrère method enables feed producers to refine their product and optimize their technological processes. This results in a higher quality of nutrition that directly contributes to the welfare of the livestock.
