Applied Animal Science and Welfare
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.
At the Department of Applied Animal Science and Welfare, our goal is to promote good animal husbandry and animal welfare as well as sustainable food production with high product quality. We do this through research and education on animals with a focus on feed and nutrition, management and the environment, ethology, animal ethics and animal welfare.

Subject description
The subject is One Health with focus with a focus on food production from animals (such as cattle, sheep, pigs, poultry and farmed fish) in circular systems.
