Analytical determination of crude fibre in animal feed
Even animal feed is sold with a declaration about its contents. For quality assurance those substances of contents are continually examined. Utilized were the following FRITSCH instruments for the sample preparation
Sample analysis of maize kernels
Maize kernels, dressed, prepared as seeds, are subject to testing in regards to possible contents of genetically modified organisms (GMO). The necessity arises to test the seeds for possible properties of genetically modified contents. Optimal for the tests is the FRITSCH- Variable Speed Rotor Mill PULVERISETTE 14
Straw, Hay, dried Plants, Herbal Teas - are mostly very bulky Samples
An average shopping bag contains 300 g straw or expressed like this: 100 g of uncomminuted straw take up the space of 1 to 2 litres. These materials are very voluminous. For the comminution only a Cutting Mill with a high rotor speed can be considered. So the choice is between the Cutting Mill PULVERISETTE 15 and Universal Cutting Mill PULVERISETTE 19
Processing of soil samples for nutrient analysis or for radiologic measurements with the soil deagglomerator PULVERISETTE 8
Soil is the loose covering of earth’s topmost surface, which is practically always active. Downwards the soil is bordered by solid or loose rocks. Towards the top it is mostly bordered by a cover of vegetation, as well as the atmosphere. Where the topmost layer of soil is covered by water, lakes, rivers and oceans it is considered sediment rather than soil. Depending on perceptions and scientific discipline “soil” can be defined differently. Ideal for the sample preparation of soil is the FRITSCH Soil Deagglomerator PULVERISETTE 8
Comminution of Purple Moor-Grass
Especially in northern Germany occurs the Purple Moor Grass (Molinia Caerulea). Interesting for research are the absolute contents and the ratios of carbon and nitrogen in the plant material. For the determination of these values mostly carbon and nitrogen analyzers are utilized. The task was completed with the following FRITSCH-Mills
Liquid manure - waste product, supplier of nutrients or source of energy?
When consuming our cutlets we do not think about the unappetizing by-products which evolve during the meat production. more
Silage for biogas
New ideas are necessary for the production of renewable energy sources and for the sample preparation a FRITSCH- Planetary Mill
Mineral animal feed
Many various different kinds of animal feed exist which differ in regards to each animal in composition, appearance and analysis. Nevertheless exact guidelines for its contents in regards to minerals, possible additives and unwanted ingredients exist. Essential for each animal feed is though, that the composition has to be inspected. more
