Animal Science, cattle nutrition and physiology

Short project description

The aim of cattle research at the section of Animal Nutrition and Physiology is to optimise feeding and nutrition to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, environmental impact and to improve animal production, product quality and health.

We have several ongoing projects, which may be of interest for you as a part of your thesis, or there might be planned projects in the near future, where your contribution would be valuable. Don’t hesitate to ask if there is a possibility for you to write your thesis at Aarhus University, Foulum, within cattle nutrition and physiology.
