The Department of Animal Biosciences
One Health is an integrated, unifying approach that aims to sustainably balance and optimize the health of people, animals and ecosystems. It recognizes that the health of humans, domestic and wild animals, plants, and the wider environment are closely linked and interdependent. By linking humans, animals and the environment, One Health can help to address the full spectrum of disease control - from prevention to detection, preparedness, response and management - and contribute to global health security. The Faculty of Veterinary Medicine and Animal Science (VH Faculty) hosts SLU Future One Health, a strategic platform for the whole university for interdisciplinary research, education and collaboration for good health and welfare for animals and humans in sustainable ecosystems.
As a complement to SLU Future One Health, the VH faculty will establish a One Health Hub linked to animal husbandry. The Hub will have three core areas with One Health Professors: 1) comparative medicine: similarities and differences in biology between domestic animals and humans; 2) antimicrobial resistance: keeping antimicrobials effective; and 3) healthy food-producing animals in circular systems.
The department of Animal Biosciences (HBIO) is part of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine and Animal Science and is responsible for education and research in several basic and applied areas. These areas include anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, pathology, pharmacology, toxicology, genetics, breeding, immunology, bacteriology, virology, parasitology, epizootology, comparative medicine, food safety, bioinformatics, veterinary public health (VPH) and One Health. Our research covers everything from production animals to sports and pet animals, laboratory animals and wild animals. The department's researchers work on the entire scale from molecular mechanisms and microbiology to the structure, function and behaviour of animals, and how these are affected by breeding, physical activity, care, production, stress, environmental factors and diseases.
