- Avl, genetikk og matproduksjonssystemer
I teach Calculation of Breeding Values (HFA301) and supervise Biometrical Methods in Animal Breeding (HFA401) at PhD level. I also give lectures on small ruminant breeding and breeding programs in developing countries.
The first halves of 2016 and 2017 I was on a sabbatical.
I have been involved in milk quality of goats, especially the effects of the casein genes on production, taste and coagulation.
We are trying to exploit multivariate mixed models with several covariance structures using milk NIR spectra from dairy control.
I was cand.agric. in Animal husbandry in 1973, and dr.scient. in mathematical statitcs (applied to quantitative genetics theory) from Department of mathematical sciences at what is now NMBU in 1981.
I have been working in agriculture extension service in Madagascar almost eight years, before 1990. From 1985 I have been associate professor in animal breeding, with special emphasis on small ruminants.
