The objective of the course is to develop skills in animal experimentation and quantitative metabolic physiology that enable the attendee to address scientific questions related to the biology of animal nutrition. This includes hypothesis formulation, planning of experiments, analysis of experimental designs, work with experimental animals, laboratory analyses, statistical analysis of data, critical data evaluation, and scientific presentation. The research questions addressed in the course will change along with the actual research projects in the department.
Formulate experimental hypotheses in the field of quantification of nutrient absorption and metabolism. Design appropriate studies that answers questions related to inter-organ nutrient fluxes. Maintenance of multi-catheterized animal models. Skills in practical sampling and sample handling working with the multi-catheterized pig Conduct relevant chemical analyses in the laboratory Collect data, perform relevant calculations and to do a biological interpretation of results and present data in a scientific paper.
The student will work with scientific problems in quantitative nutrient absorption and metabolism both in theory and praxis. The course activities include: A journal club where relevant literature in the field is discussed, an introduction to experimental and surgical techniques, hands on sampling/animal experimentation and laboratory work, handling of data, calculations and biological interpretation of results, writing of a scientific paper, and presentation of data at a seminar
