The course will with main emphasis on plants from the agrobiological system give you an overall knowledge in plant taxonomy, systematic, anatomy, morphology, reproduction, growth and nutrition. Plants will be described at the cellular, organ and whole plant level as well as their basic physiological processes. The course will also give an introduction to keying of plants using relevant floras. The influence of different production and environmental conditions on plant growth and development will also be touched upon.

During the course, you will work with the basic structure and function of virus, bacteria, archaea, fungi, and algae as well as their genetics. You will learn about examples of microorganisms with beneficial and potentially pathogenic properties in animals and plants. You will focus on the application of selected microorganisms in agriculture as well as food and beverage industries. In practical and theoretical tutorials you will work with basic methods for isolation, cultivation and identification of microorganisms.

You will mainly focus on subjects related to the digestive system and nutrient metabolism, endocrinology, the immune system, stress physiology, reproductive and pregnancy cycles, growth and function of muscle, adipose tissue and bone, kidney function, salt and water balance, egg laying as well as mammary gland development and function. The comparative aspects of the development from embryo to adult stage will be covered.You will also be introduced to heart function and circulatory physiology, the respiratory system, the skin, thermoregulation, the brain, the nervous system and the senses.Besides the most widely used domestic animal species (pig, poultry, cattle, and mink), you will also work with other domestic animals.You will relate some of the anatomical and physiological characteristics of the animals with those of humans, e.g., in an attempt to find out if whole animal/organs/cells can be used as models for humans.

You will learn the fundamental principles of hereditary, population genetics, quantitative genetics, and evolution while working with examples relevant for animal and plant production. The course will provide you with the necessary skills to tackle problems associated with, for example, animal and plant breeding, genetic-manipulated organisms, and development of disease resistance.
