  • Description of the expertise offered
    Principal activity of our Laboratory is nutrition and physiology of digestion of monogastric animals, but we have long term experiences with pigs as an animal model for human nutrition research. We use intact and cannulated (mono or poly-cannulated) pigs in our projects. Surgically prepared cannulated pigs are very good animal model for studying the effect of exogenous and endogenous factors on changes in GIT and give possibility of taking samples from any parts of GIT or inserting compounds, including therapeutic agents, into a specific region of the gastrointestinal tract. These observations can be supported by analyzes of biological samples (various parameters from blood, urine, faeces, digesta…etc.) Topics for cooperation: Evaluation of the nutritive value of feeds and foods Protein quality evaluation of foods (DIAAS) Total tract digestibility of nutrients Apparent ileal digestibility of nutrients Standardized ileal digestibility of amino acids Estimation of basal endogenous amino acid losses N retention Effect of various additives on nutrient digestibility and retention Nutritional means to reduce ammonia emission Evaluation the effect of additives (probiotics, prebiotics, enzymes, botanical additives, etc.) Study of production volatile fatty acids in GIT Determining the disappearance or synthesis of nutrients Changes of microbial population in GIT Study of antibiotic resistance, etc.

  • Description of the organisation
    The National Agricultural and Food Center focuses on comprehensive research and gathering of knowledge in the sustainable use and protection of natural resources, especially soil and water resources for crop production and animal husbandry, quality and safety, innovation and competitiveness of food and non-food products of agricultural origin, productive and non-productive impact of agriculture on the environment and rural development and the transfer of knowledge from agricultural and food research to end users. Research Institute of Animal Production Nitra is a one of several scientific institutes of the National Agricultural and Food Center The main purpose of the institute is to find complex scientific and research solutions of problems in the sphere of biology and breeding farm animals in form of goal oriented fundamental and applied research up to the verification of realization in the user’s sphere. The basic objective and subject of activity is the scientific and research work and special extension in the sphere of breeding farm animals. The centre is a complex integrated workplace of the departmental research basis in Slovakia in the sphere of zootechnics. Within the framework of the scientific and research activities of the centre there are applied and developed the following disciplines: genetics, biochemistry, embryology, ethology, applied mathematical statistics, economy. The main objective of the centre is to solve the tasks of science and technical development for the branch of animal production, mainly in the sphere of breeding, nutrition and feeding, conservation and treatment of feeds, biotechnology, reproduction, ethology, technology and ecologization of husbandry, biology and technique of breeding farm animals, quality of meat, milk, wool, economy of breeding and production in animals. Further activity of the centre is aimed at the creation of scientific programmes, concepts and prognoses in the sphere of animal production, expertise and extension work as well as education of scientific and professional workers. Further tasks of the centre are first of all: processing of scientific and research knowledge into integrated bases for their utilization in practice, and participation in their realization, conceptualizing, analytical-prognostic and expert activities within the mission and range of commission, systematic observation of scientific and technical progress at home and abroad and its utilization in scientific and research as well as realization activities, concern about scientific and professional education of own employees as well as employees of other organizations, participation in pedagogical activities of universities as well as within postgraduate education of employees of the department within the framework of the purpose of the centre, publication of scientific and professional works in institutional, native and foreign periodicals, collected papers and other publications, organization of native and international scientific and professional events, support of close scientific and research cooperation with scientific and research basis in the SK, universities and agricultural enterprises as well as development of international scientific and technical cooperation, publication of scientific and research as well as professional periodical and non-periodical publications dealing with the subject of activity, special extension activity for the decision-making sphere, for legal and natural persons in the entrepreneurial sphere, as well as for biological and technical services within the subject of activity.
