This work deals with specific method of non-destructive testing - Acoustic emission (AE). Theoretical part of article is focused on underlying principle of this method and its applicability. The experimental part is focused on research of pressure resistance in mineral feed using the AE. Mineral feed is condensed cube of rock salt (sodium chloride) with supplementary minerals, which is fed to livestock and game to supply the mineral elements necessary for their health and condition. Using the AE sensor is possible to provide monitoring of internal changes in the material.
AE gives the overview of internal changes in material structure. With use of specific software we can interpret the acoustic signal and identify the current state of material integrity in real time.

Keywords: acoustic emission, mineral feed, RMS, Power Spectral Density

The research has been supported by Internal Grant Agency, Mendel University in Brno, Faculty of Agronomy [No. IP21/2015]. "Monitoring of quality of composite materials in agricultural environment".
