Research projects

“Developing Business Leadership Competence” is a pilot-project aimed at farmers with beef and lamb production that are interested in farm business development.

Assessing local conditions for animals, technology and pastures.

Over a period of two years, a new concept for business analysis called Företagslyft Lantbruk – nöt & lamm (Business Boost Agriculture – Beef & Lamb) will be tested, evaluated, and improved in a pilot-project involving collaboration between farmers, advisors, and researchers.

Data collection to increase the knowledge about nutritional and management factors associated with colic in horses.

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.
