The Department of Animal Nutrition and Management
The Department of Animal Nutrition and Management (HUV) conducts basic and applied research on animal feeds, animal metabolism and animal housing and care. The goal is to create a sustainable and profitable production, with good animal care, that provides high-quality food. Our research concerns agricultural production animals as well as sports and companion animals. HUV is responsible for basic education, research and postgraduate education in the area of nutritional physiology, feed science, management issues and aquaculture. HUV offers an inspiring research environment where we study metabolic processes, nutrient utilization and management of animals in varying production systems.
