Swedish Animal Association for the Protection of Animals supports research at SLU

Published: 21 March 2017

How are wild boars affected when caught in traps? The Swedish Association for the Protection of Animals is donating SEK 264,000 to support the work with a scientific report based on a study on  the behavior and stress physiology of wild boars caught in traps.

The project is coordinated by Åsa Fahlman, docent of wildlife medicine at the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine and Animal Sciences. The research is a collaboration between veterinarians, ecologists and animal behaviourists at SLU Uppsala, Grimsö Wildlife Research Station, Stockholm University and the National Veterinary Institute.

The Swedish Association for the Protection of Animals has decided to support the main project with additional funds over three years, provided that full funding of the project is guaranteed.
