Dear colleagues, dear pet owners, dear pet owners
Our service area will be closed from 7 and 14 December 2024 to 5 January 2025.
Submissions of feed can be made until 06.12.2024 and requests for nutritional advice until 13.12.2023.
We will be happy to provide you with advice and assistance again in the new year.
We would like to thank you very much for the trusting cooperation and wish you a peaceful Advent and Christmas season and a good start to the New Year.

What information and sample quantities are required?
Please label the samples clearly and ensure suitable sample packaging. For this purpose, please fill out the sample form as completely and as detailed as possible and enclose it with the shipment. Please also follow the instructions on the form.
You will find the sample submission form in the download area as a pdf and as a Word document.
Sample quantities:
Hay / straw: 1 - 2 kg (approximately the volume of a 60-litre rubbish bag)
Silage / haylage: 3 - 5 kg, leak-proof and (in summer) cooled if possible
Cereals / mixed feed: 1 - 2 kg
Please send us feed samples at the beginning of the week if possible, so that the samples are not in the post office before a weekend and the value and quality of the samples sent in would be falsified as a result.
How long does the processing take?
Processing takes 1 - 2 weeks if microbiological or botanical findings are required.
What are the costs?
The costs are based on the time required and are calculated according to the current service catalogue of the Veterinary Fee Schedule (GOT, 2020).
All prices include VAT.
Where should the samples be sent?
Institute for Animal Nutrition, Nutritional Damage and Dietetics
An den Tierkliniken 9
