The Institute activity is focused on animal nutrition and physiology. The dominant research course in animal nutrition comprises nutrient digestion and metabolism in monogastric and ruminant animals, particularly in young ones. Apart from feeding physiology, the research on feed composition referring to plant components in feedstuffs, its chemical composition, content and significance of bioactive substances are conducted in the Institute. The studies on the role of symbiotic microorganisms (bacteria and protozoa) colonizing the digestive tract, their species diversity and ability to degrade feed components are also important. The aims of these research are not only the improvements of nutrient utilization, influence of diet on gastrointestinal tract development and the activity of its microbiota but also the pursue to enhance pro-health properties of animal products.

Grassland has a natural capacity to store CO2. This capacity can be increased by choosing the right species composition and grazing regime.
