Projects
Breed4Kelp2Feed aims to initiate breeding of sugar kelp (Saccharina latissima, a marine brown macroalgae) designed for sustainable production of high yields.
Successful reproduction is the result of complex interactions of many factors affected by genetics as well as environment. This project will deliver knowledge and tools to improve dairy cow fertility
