Research projects

The objective of this project was to investigate if methane production could be further reduced from stored manure in dairy cows supplemented with Asparagopsis taxiformis.

Feeding strategies and influence of dietary inclusion of grass/clover silage on production, fertility, nitrogen emission and pig behaviour.

The goal with this project was to make it possible for Swedish dairy farms to replace imported, soy based protein feed with on farm processed concentrate based on home-grown or regionally grown Swedish protein sources as field beans, peas and rapeseed.

The project aims to contribute to increased integration of semi-natural grasslands and forests, increased profitability and biodiversity through expanded and more efficient management of these lands, and increased consensus on the role of semi-natural grasslands in sustainable production systems.

The research at the Beijer Laboratory for Animal Science (BLAS) aims to make better use of data automatically collected at high-tech farms so that management and breeding of future generations of dairy cows may be as efficient as possible.

Our research on management of ruminants primarily covers dairy cows. Research projects often include animal welfare, animal health, the efficiency of production systems and possibilities to adjust grazing, housing and technology to the biology of the animals.

We research and teach about ruminant feeding and nutrition both nationally and globally. Our research aims to develop knowledge on how different feeding strategies, feed ingredients, and feed additives affect the animals, production, and environmental impact.
