We develop methods and tools for herd management to promote animal welfare and health, the green transition, and economic viability for a sustainable future. We integrate, develop and disseminate knowledge of farm animal management and relationships between actors and animals. We improve communication within the farm animal sector and between the sector and society.

We conduct state-of-the-art teaching of management and modelling, statistical analysis, bioinformatics and systems biology from BSc to PhD level, including on-farm animal welfare assessment, biosecurity, animal health economics, qualitative methods applied in animal and veterinary sciences. We teach specialised topics within animal and veterinary sciences, such as veterinary anatomy and pathology.

We provide research-based public advise for Danish, EU and other international authorities on animal health and welfare.
