Aroma as a source of information

• As with us humans, the sensory control of the nutrition to be ingested plays a major role for our livestock in order to identify and judge the quality.
• The aroma of a feedstuff contains a multitude of information for its identification by the animal. This enables the animal to differentiate between e.g. edible and inedible plants, high-energy or foul feedstuffs.
• The aroma of a feedstuff is decisive for its acceptance by the animal.
• Each type of animal has different preferences.
