In-Class Hours Per Week:

5

Contents:

Scientific methods for the collection, analyses, and interpretation of experimental data in animal nutrition and vegetation science will be discussed. In a small project, the students will implement research tools used to quantify the nutritional status and feeding behaviour of animals as well as the biomass and nutritional quality of forage on pastures. Students will learn to critically evaluate the accuracy of scientific methods and to interpret and present data of experimental trials. The module therefore provides the basis for related M.Sc. or Ph.D. projects.

Literature:

Handouts to lectures and exercises are provided during the
course. Supplemental literature will be recommended in the
beginning of the module.
