Short presentation
My Ph.D. project is entitled ‘A new model to estimate the feed intake of sheep and sucker cows’.
Currently a feed intake model for sheep housed under Scandinavian conditions and given Scandinavian type forage is not available.
In my project the main goal is to make a simple and biological transparent model of feed intake in sheep and lambs, and to a minor extend on suckler cows and bull-calves.
I have been attending a mathematics course (Advanced Mathematics for biology), a statistics course (Applied Statistics for Researchers and Developers) and a modeling course (Mathematical Modeling in Biological Sciences). A long side these courses I have been doing a literature study, and worked with data from pregnant and lactating sheep, but have so far not fitted any useful models to this data.
I am a certified veterinarian from KU-LIFE, where I graduated in February 2010, after graduating I worked as a Clinical veterinarian in Northern Jutland for 1 ½ year. Before I started my Ph.D. program at KU-SUND in June 2012, I was an official veterinarian for the Veterinary Task Force Unit in The Food and Agricultural Ministry of Denmark working primarily with animal welfare.
