The dry matter content of apples and pears gives a clue to their potential quality and shelf life several months before they are picked. This allows the fruit grower to act timeously in order to improve the product.

Providing extra heat in the farrowing house can save the lives of many newborn pigs. Research at Aarhus University shows how underfloor heating can combine with room temperature to prevent hypothermia and deaths.

Spin-off company from Aarhus University examines the potential of protein hydrolysates to prevent obesity and diabetes.

No two dairy herds are the same. Identical actions on different herds may therefore produce different effects. As a method of optimising the production in individual herds a management system used in industry is going to be adapted to testing new developments in dairy herds.

An industrial postdoc study at Aarhus University has led to a Danish breakthrough in the battle against the overuse of broad-spectrum antibiotics in humans and livestock.

Thirteen projects on dairy and cattle research at Aarhus University benefit from donations from the Milk Levy Fund to the tune of almost 14.5 million DKK.

Periods of cold, dormancy and warmth at the right time: these are the factors that control most Danish fruiting trees and bushes and cause them to thrive and produce fruit and berries. Climate change could put a stopper to that process.

Scientists from Aarhus University are working in close partnership with the industry to extend the range of well-tested organic varieties of vegetables.

Scientists at Aarhus University are heading a new research project with fertigation that should result in a larger production of Danish organic fruits and vegetables.

Finishing pigs need up to 400 g of straw per pig per day to meet their behavioural needs for manipulation and rooting, according to a study at Aarhus University. But satisfaction of behavioural needs is not the only benefit of straw – pigs also have a higher growth rate and the risk of gastric ulcers is reduced.
