Popis: Biochar is a new, promising, and sustainable feed additive alternative in agricultural production, which may, however, contain a considerable amount of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). As a measure of their bioaccessibility to ruminants, we quantified PAH concentrations in biochars before and after three different incubation experiments. Specifically, the biochars were subjected to (1) an aqueous cyclodextrin suspension with a contaminant trap as (infinite) sink, (2) an in vitro experiment with cow ruminal liquid and a contaminant trap, and (3) an in vivo experiment within cow rumen. Three different biochars were used that contained 13-407 mg/kg
