Equine nutrition and management, especially forage production and utilization for horses, hygienic quality of feeds, equine health and welfare in relation to feeding and nutrition. EMS, insulin resistance, carbohydrates in feeds and their impact on equine nutrition and health, nutrition- and management factors in colic and diarrhea in horses.

Research Goal
Understand factors affecting forage nutritive and hygienic quality in relation to equine feeding, and how these factors affect the health and welfare of the horse. Implement and use this knowledge to improve forage production, conservation and utilization in equine nutrition and feeding, as well as for improving forage hygienic quality.
