On the road to a better life for cats – where is today's osteoarthritis research heading?
Over the years, cats have gone from “anonymous” barn animals to beloved family members. Today, they are our most common pets and—like humans—cats are living longer than ever. Knowledge about age-related diseases is therefore increasingly important, not only for a long life, but a good one.

When perfect symmetry is not a given – what can cause asymmetry in horses if pain is not the cause?
Just like humans, horses can move unevenly, limping, when in pain. But when studies show that as many as 70% of Swedish horses in training move asymmetrically, the question arises as to whether there may be other causes. Important questions for our society, ethics, and for the horses. -
The breed does not determine the dog - significant differences in mentality both between and within breeds
Carefully choosing a dog breed can give future owners a sense of security in knowing its typical appearance, needs, and temperament. But new research highlights that differences between individuals within the same breed can be just as significant—something many may not be aware of. -
The price of perfection: Opting out of variety - a danger to animal immunity and survival
For thousands of years, humans have been controlling the breeding of dogs, horses and farm animals. Despite the benefits, this has led to unexpectedly high risks for the animals. With knowledge from research, now might be the time to re-evaluate breeding decisions. -
More meat on the bone
Many people want to drink cow's milk, but fewer think about what happens to the calves that are raised just to make the cows produce milk. A more sustainable approach is now being explored that may point the way to a society where we work smarter instead of harder and increase our self-sufficiency.
