Value adder through ressource efficient organic pig production

The overall aims of the EFFORT project are to establish basic knowledge on nutrient
requirements of organic produced pigs, transfer the knowledge into new feed
formulations and feeding strategies and implement these strategies at practical
herds. Read more...

Feed-a-Gene

Feed-a-Gene aims to better adapt different components of monogastric livestock production systems (i.e., pigs, poultry and rabbits) to improve the overall efficiency and to reduce the environmental impact. Read more about the project...

Metabolomics som værktøj til at identificere markører for sårhelingsprocessen hos mink

I dette projekt vil der blive fokuseret på om der også hos mink sker ændringer i mængden og sammensætningen af små molekyler, som kan relateres til omsætningen af arginin, i blodet i forbindelse med sårhelingsprocessen. Derudover vil der blive søgt efter andre mulige markører for sårheling i blodet. Læs mere om projektet...
