Rumen Fill, 3D Computer vision and proactive cow health
We use 3D cameras and computer vision to assess rumen fill [UE1.1](an indicator of how much cows have eaten) and link its dynamic to subclinical signs of disease. The project is a collaboration between SLU, DeLaval and Högskolan Dalarna. -
PFAS in food production
PFAS, also known as “forever chemicals,” are present in the environment and can accumulate in food, posing health risks. We are investigating how PFAS are transmitted to beef cattle by sampling farms and animals, with the aim of reducing risks, strengthening food safety, and improving monitoring. -
AGRIMED C - Agriculture Management Education Towards Climate Resilience
AGRIMED C is a European collaborative project focused on future-proofing agriculture by strengthening competencies in health and climate management. -
Autologous biological treatments - content and effect on joint inflammation
Blood derived autologous biological products such as autologous conditioned serum (ACS) and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) are used to treat lameness in horses. The effect and content of these products are not fully known.

Circle of life - all together through the silent pandemic
An era comes to an end as more bacteria develop resistance to antibiotics and the certainty that we can cure diseases slowly fades. The “silent pandemic” is sweeping the globe, and the solution now depends on us rethinking our approach together—for the sake of people, animals, and nature as one. -
When waste becomes a carrier of disease: Finding solutions to protect Sweden's pigs and food production
Have you ever considered that food waste disposed incorrectly later in the trash chain can attract wild animals – and contribute to the spread of deadly diseases? This is believed to have happened when African swine fever was suddenly discovered in Sweden. How can we prevent history from repeating? -
Call for applications to SLU's Interdisciplinary Academy (IDA) 2026-2027
The Interdisciplinary Academy (IDA) is a programme where SLU researchers are offered the opportunity to collaborate across disciplinary boundaries on complex issues in the broad field of sustainable transition. -
The Eye’s Fragile Window: Research for rapid and reliable treatment of corneal ulcers in animals
The cornea is the eye’s window to the world and its first line of defence. Ingeniously built but highly vulnerable, it requires swift and accurate treatment when injured. Researchers in Sweden are now working to improve treatment of corneal ulcers in our most cherished animal species.
