About the metabolism department
The department also carries out several types of sample processing, and is frequently used for teaching, and in tours for visitors at NMBU.
The department is an approved experimental animal department and has well-suited locations in the barn and stable. In the implementation of experimental projects and assignments, the focus is on quality assurance and animal welfare.
Experiments with cattle and horses are carried out with fistulated animals, and these animals can, among other things, also be used for studies in resource utilization and product quality.
