Animal Biosciences
Research Group
Keywords
one health | animal health and disease | animal welfare | farm-to-forkMultidisciplinary group that comprehensively covers all aspects of animal bioscience, from fundamental research in biochemistry, physiology and genomics, to problem-based applied research on animal health and diseases, nutrition, animal welfare, production systems and related technologies.
The multidisciplinary key competencies have allowed both, fundamental laboratory-based research at the molecular, cellular and tissue level, as well as in vivo approaches related to farm, companion animals and wildlife, with problem-based and technology transfer-based research projects to meet regional stakeholders demands.
The group aim at further contributing to a One Health based approach for healthier animals, environment and people (prevention, control and eradication of diseases, antimicrobial resistance and stewardship, microbiome for production efficiency and disease prevention, productivity and disease biomarkers), animal welfare (grazing ecology, "Montado" and Mediterranean extensive production systems) and resources efficiency (production of resilient animals, conservation of autochthonous breeds, circular economy and efficient food chains using bioproducts).
