[Victor Hofmeister (1829-1994), Königl. Dresden Veterinary School--contributions to digestive physiology and animal nutrition].
Victor Hofmeister (1829-1894), a chemist, was active between 1862-1894 at the Tierärztliche Hochschule Dresden. His common work with Haubner, Siedamgrotzky and especially Ellenberger supplied basis information on digestibility of feestuffs (sheep, horses) about various clinical-chemical or toxicological questions, but particularly about the digestive physiology in horses, pigs, dogs and ruminants. The main results of the research group in Dresden outlast the last 100 years and represent valuable aspects for present knowledge in this field.
