Research
My research area covers nutrition and physiology of cattle with focus on animal production, nutrient utilization, nutrient excretion and impact of animal production on climate and environment. The research activities include:
I have a major task in giving scientifically based advice to authorities (Myndgihedsberedskab) about effects of livestock production on climate and environment. I also teach in courses for bachelor and master students about effects of livestock production on climate and environment.
