Our four locations
The departments' aim is to promote good animal management and welfare and sustainable food production with high product quality through research and education on animals with a focus on feed and nutrition, management and environment, ethology and animal ethics, animal welfare and protection. We are located in four cities: Gothenburg, Skara, Umeå and Uppsala. In addition to our work on a global and national level, we have well-established local collaborations in all our locations. Here, we provide a brief overview of our site-specific activities.
Our four locations:
Gothenburg
In Gothenburg our activities are related to fish welfare, environment, and health. We pool resources with the University of Gothenburg.
Skara
In Skara activities cover areas such as animal environment and health, ethology, anthrozoology, conservation biology, as well as beef and lamb meat production.
Umeå
The activities in Umeå are focused on crop-related issues often with regional considerations. The research station Röbäcksdalen is an important resource for our work.
Uppsala
In Uppsala research and teaching is conducted in several subject areas, such as the environment and health of domestic animals, feeding and management, feed science, ethology and animal welfare.
