  • Can camouflage nets increase free-ranging in broiler chickens? - Lina Göransson
  • Animal welfare in commercial pig production - development of welfare indicators for benchmarking tools adapted to pig production under Swedish conditions. The student works with researchers at SLU and herd veterinarians at Gård & Djurhälsan - Anna Wallenbeck
  • Mapping of housing and production environments in Swedish pig production. The student works with researchers at SLU and herd veterinarians at Gård & Djurhälsan - Anna Wallenbeck
  • Health in different broiler hybrids in organic systems – Anna Wallenbeck and Stefan Gunnarsson
  • Beef cattle in Amazon rain forest – Jens Jung
  • Salmonella in broilers – a knowledge review for prevention and routine validation - Lotta Berg
  • Importance of routines at the dairy farm – calf welfare and future production - Katarina Arvidsson Segerkvist
  • SowNest – in an ongoing research project in the pig facility at Lövsta, we study the link between sows' nest building behavior and piglet survival. We also want to study the difference in nest building behavior between different individuals. Behavioral observation is done both by video surveillance and with activity loggers - Rebecka Westin 
  • How active is a pig? With activity loggers you will measure and compare how active pigs are in different housing systems. For example sows in group-housing systems with transponder feeding compared to when kept in conventional pens or in organic production with outdoor access - Rebecka Westin
