Feed science and forage production

About this programme

The general aim of the course is to create knowledge of chemical analyses that describe the composition and utilization of feed. The course includes feed for herbivores, omnivores and carnivores. A special focus is placed on the forage production complexity through synergy between plant cultivation and animal science. Knowledge equivalent to - 180 credits at first cycle level, of which - 60 credits biology, animal science, equine science, veterinary nursing or veterinary medicine or 60 credits agricultural sciences (of which at least 30 credits animal science/zoology) and - English 6 The grade requirements within the course grading system are set out in specific criteria. These criteria must be available by the course start at the latest.
