Title:Veterinariy officer, PhD, Professor and state veterinarian, Swedish and European specialist competence in pig diseases
Research area :Researches clinical and subclinical diseases in pigs with the aim of curing or even better preventing diseases. Healthy pigs are climate smart because diseases require energy. Healthy pigs do not need antibiotics and therefore also contribute to preserving the durability of antibiotics.
Per works with pigs and diagnostics for pig diseases, as well as with measures to combat, prevent or alleviate the effects of diseases in pigs.
