The Industrialized Techniques To Evaluate Feeds And Feedstuffs

Simulated Digestion System (SDS III) is a patented bionic in vitro platform designed to mimic gastrointestinal digestion in monogastric animals. It provides standardized, integrated, automated solutions for evaluating nutrient bioavailability (e.g., available energy, amino acids) in feed and feedstuffs, as well as assessing feed enzyme bio-efficacy.

SDS III establishes a new benchmark for modern feed evaluation by combining the physiological relevance of in vivo digestion with the efficiency and standardization of advanced in vitro technology. SDS III represents a significant technological advance in biomimetic feed evaluation: innovative and patented automatic digestion device with species-specific simulated digestive kits for poultry, swine and pet animals, closely reproduce physiological digestive processes. Through the fully automated synchronization of enzyme delivery, pH adjustment, buffer infusion, and hydrolysate removal, SDS III transforms conventional manual in vitro assays into a highly standardized, fully automated workflow. By enabling rapid, reliable, and sustainable nutritional assessment, SDS III addresses longstanding challenges in feed research and quality control and supports the global transition toward ethical animal research in accordance with the 3Rs principles (Replacement, Reduction, and Refinement).

• Precisely reproduces dynamic digestive conditions (pH, temperature, enzyme activity, transit time).

• Offers high flexibility and ease for analyzing the bioavailability of major nutrients via species- and nutrient-specific simulated digestive fluid kits

• Validated test outcomes, achieves reputation in feed and animal nutrition industry worldwide；

• Generates results 66 times faster than conventional in vivo trials, supporting high-throughput screening of feed ingredients.

• Cuts analytical costs by approximately 90% compared with live animal experiments.

• Minimizes manual operation and reliance on technicians, ensuring consistent, reproducible results across operators and laboratories.

• Reduces inter-laboratory variability with standardized protocols and calibrated instrumentation.

• Provides a fully animal-free feed evaluation method consistent with the 3Rs principle (Replacement, Reduction, Refinement) in animal research.
