Research projects

Can residual products from green protein be used as feed to horses?

Can side streams from the paper industry contribute to fish feed of the future?

Research area with three parts: Project 1 - Regulations and ethical values ​​governing public and industry-based animal welfare control (completed). Project 2 - Experiences and expectations regarding animal welfare control. Project 3 - Methods for achieving more equitable animal welfare control.

Developments in aquaculture have led to significant increases in product volume, but also challenges. Blue Food 2.0 focuses on developing innovative feed sources from reclaimed nutrients and exploring aquaculture practices that improve fish welfare and local value chains.

We conduct research and teaching in the field of nutritional physiology and metabolism of monogastric animals. Our research aims to develop the knowledge about how different types of feedstuffs and feed ingredients affect the animals' metabolism and health.

Our unit focuses on forage utilisation in ruminant production and dairy nutrition, including strategies to reduce GHG emissions, satellite-based GHG estimation, feed efficiency and evaluation, grazing systems, young cattle rearing systems, animal welfare, and milk quality.

Animal Environment and Health explores how housing, management, and human-animal interactions influence animal health, welfare, and behaviour. Our work emphasizes preventive measures and the promotion of good animal health and welfare at the individual, group, and population levels.

We focus on nutrition, housing and management of meat-type chickens and laying hens including solutions that combine improved animal welfare, high competitiveness and low environmental impact. Our research comprises both conventional and alternative production systems.
