SmartCalfCare - For the cow, the calf, you and me

A flexible pen within a modern, robotic dairy barn allowing cow-calf contact by letting mother and calf stay together during the first weeks after birth.

SYBIATT - Synthetic biology and rational virus attenuation – a study on Salmonid pancreas disease virus

Natural or synthetic mutations can change the genome of organisms and lead to altered fitness properties. By combining genetics and synthetic biology, we want to weaken the PD virus and use it in studies of PD infections and to improve PD vaccines.

TarGet - New targeting vaccines for sustainable aquaculture

Fish diseases represent one of the major risks to the continued growth of the aquaculture industry. This project will develop a flexible and versatile fish vaccine platform (TarGet) where vaccines can be easily tailored to any viral disease and fish species.

The Gill Health Platform

The Gill Health Platform (GHP) is a strategic concentration of research at the Norwegian Veterinary Institute (NVI), motivated by the vital importance of the gills to fish health and function.

Triploid salmon – susceptibility to infectious diseases

The goal for the project is to investigate the susceptibility for triploid salmon to infectious diseases of importance for the Norwegian aquaculture industry.
