Genetics and breeding

Are we managing the environment in a sustainable way when it comes to water and aquatic ecosystems? SLU has an assignment from the government that is unique among Swedish universities: additional to

Research at SLU develops knowledge about the biological natural resources and man’s management and sustainable use of them. Water is an integrated and important part of this work and SLU has

SLU works with water for life - and life in water. About 400 researchers and other staff members contribute to the global field of knowledge about sustainable management of water resources and

The research at the Beijer Laboratory for Animal Science (BLAS) aims to make better use of data automatically collected at high-tech farms so that management and breeding of future generations of

Researchers have analysed the legislation on GMO’s in the EU and conclude that the framework surrounding genetically modified crops is inconsistent and unpredictable. They discuss a common framework

bohlenius There are approximately 400 000 ha agricultural land that can be used without interfering with food production. However there are more than 1 000 000 ha forest land (depending on site

Plant Ecology & Weed Biology The Plant Ecology group deals with the functional interactions among plants and between plants and the environment. In our research we investigate the general processes

Addition of seminal plasma (SP) prior to cryopreservation may influence stallion sperm cryosurvival. The objective of this study was to investigate the addition of pooled SP from “good” or “bad”

This study investigated different aspects of the trait spirit that is routinely recorded in breeding field tests (BFTs) for Icelandic horses. Genetic parameters were estimated for spirit and six

Knowledge of which genetic factors regulating hair growth is limited. Within this project we will take advantage of the remarkable phenotypic variation among horses to search their entire genome for
