various in vitro techniques is a merit as well as an educational background that include
physiology, microbiology and toxicology. The ability to speak and write English well is a
prerequisite.

Abstract:

In the future, a warmer climate will change the conditions for keeping of farm animals in Scandinavia. This is particularly true for grazing ruminants which have close contact with the physical environment...
