On January 1 2023, Louise Bundgaard started her new position as assistant professor at the Department of Animal and Veterinary Sciences (ANIVET) at Aarhus University. Louise will help create and establish the best possible framework for the new veterinary science degree programme at AU Viborg.

Researchers from Aarhus University (AU) have validated a commercially available 3D camera system that can automatically monitor the body weight of slaughter pigs - and the results were satisfactory.

Based on large scale studies using novel methods of recording pain and stress in young piglets, researchers at Aarhus University (AU) have obtained new knowledge on how to handle local anesthesia of piglets at castration.

The Department of Animal and Veterinary Sciences must contribute to the establishment of important networking between Denmark and Korea/Asia in relation to supporting the One Health agenda and fighting antibiotic resistance at global level by balancing and optimising the health of both animals and humans.

The research facilities at the Department of Animal and Veterinary Sciences have been expanded with new advanced respiration chambers for pigs. This will allow for a wide range of possible research projects in the future – not least in relation to the animals' greenhouse gas emissions and climate impact.

Following the decision that AU Viborg - Research Centre Foulum will be hosting the three new study programmes - Veterinary Medicine, Animal Science and Agrobiology - the Department of Animal Science at Aarhus University has been busy. The reason for this is that it plays a key role in the establishment of the new study programmes. The department has now also changed its name to the Department of Animal and Veterinary Sciences (ANIVET) and implemented a reorganisation.

Mette S. Herskin, Senior Researcher in the Department of Animal and Veterinary Sciences at Aarhus University, Denmark, is the 2022 recipient of the HSA award.

The development of a new feeding concept is expected to reduce the climate gas emissions from pig production. At the same time, it is expected that the concept will improve pig health and thus reduce the need for antibiotics and antimicrobial substances in pork production.
