Research groups
-
Beijer Laboratory for Animal Science (BLAS)
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. -
Ruminant management
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. -
Ruminant nutrition
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.
