Offer Description
The 'Ruminant Nutrition and Emissions' Research Group is represented at the Posieux and Tänikon sites. We deal with ruminant physiology, nutrition and husbandry in roughage-focused feeding systems with the aim of sustainably improving nutrient efficiency, lowering emissions from cattle husbandry, reducing nutrient-related production diseases, and maintaining high product quality. Subclinical ketosis is one of the economically most important metabolic disorders in dairy cows. With timely treatment, negative effects on the cow can be prevented or lessened. The present project aims to elaborate principles for developing methods for the early detection of subclinical ketosis using exhaled
breath.
Your tasks:
• Planning and carrying out feeding experiments with dairy cows
• Working in an interdisciplinary team
• Preparation and statistical analysis of the data
• Authoring of scientific publications and your dissertation in English
• Presentations at scientific conferences
