The course will consist of a one week residential course and one month later the exam will take place (30-31 January 2019 - can be done on Skype. The one-week course thus focuses on primary production (mainly dairy cattle and sow/swine-herds).

  • The aim is to give PhD-students an overview of concepts and methods in Animal Health Economics (AHE) in the perspective of the primary livestock production herds.

  • We introduce the concept of AHE, visit a farm and experience how they make AHE decisions, and the student will be provided with a set of tools and skill that can be used in their PhD projects.
  • The course includes lectures, exercises (both individual and in groups), and discussions and presentations both in groups and in plenum.
