Research into production and productivity, animal health, welfare, food safety, product quality and sustainability in pig production lie at the heart of CPH Pig. Research ranges from national healthcare programmes via herd-oriented research focusing on practical herd advisory services to basic scientific population and molecular methods. Research is most often done in collaboration with other Danish and foreign universities, industry and the regulatory authorities.

Danish pig production is highly important for Denmark. Pig exports amounted to about DKK 30bn in 2011, thus accounting for about 2/3 of revenues from animal exports. Even though Danish pig production is efficient, there is major competition in the global market where in many places, labour costs are significantly lower than in Denmark.

Forord Preface

Forskning i produktion og produktivitet, dyresundhed, velfærd, fødevaresikkerhed, produktkvalitet og bære-dygtighed i svineproduktionen er omdrejningspunktet for CPH Pig. Forskningen strækker sig fra sundhedspro-grammer på nationalt plan, over besætningsorienteret forskning med fokus på praktisk besætningsrådgivning til grundvidenskabelige metoder på molekylært og po-pulationsniveau. Forskningen foregår oftest i samarbejde med andre danske og udenlandske universiteter samt erhverv og myndigheder.

Dansk svineproduktion er af stor og væsentlig betydning for Danmark. Svineeksporten beløb sig i 2011 til ca. 30 milliarder og udgjorde dermed ca. 2/3 af indtægterne fra den animalske eksport. Selvom dansk svineproduktion er effektiv, er konkurrencen stor på det globale marked, hvor arbejdsomkostningerne mange steder er væsentlig lavere end i Danmark.

Introduction

The Center for research in pig production and health enhances, consolidates and raises the profile of pig production research at the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, University of Copenhagen and serves as the platform for greater efforts in national and international research, innovation, regulatory services and training and education and closer collaboration with industry, GTS – Advanced Technology Group, authorities and universities.

The unique aspect of our competencies at the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences is that we have brought together researchers with backgrounds and skills in the animal and veterinary sciences. This combination of research skills gives us an especially strong position for addressing the challenges of Danish pig production, with research into such issues as animal health, animal welfare, cost-effectiveness and sustainability.

We intend our unique competencies to serve as the platform for greater efforts in research and education and closer collaboration with national and international industry, GTS institutes, authorities and universities. CPH Pig will also contribute to strengthening the pig production sector in the BSc and MSc programmes on veterinary medicine and animal science.

ManagementCPH Pig is an amalgamation of three departments at the Faculty of Health and Medical Science, University of Copenhagen:

• DepartmentofClinicalVeterinaryandAnimalScience• DepartmentofVeterinaryDiseaseBiology• DepartmentofLargeAnimalSciences.

For administrative purposes, the centre is anchored in the Department of Large Animal Sciences. It is headed up by Christian Fink Hansen, associate professor at the Department of Large Animal Sciences.

Advisory CommitteeThe centre is also organized with an Advisory Committee with personnel from the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences and the Pig Research Centre, which is part of Danish Agriculture & Food Council. The Advisory Committee consists of managerial level personnel with extensive professional knowledge of the field. The Advisory Committee meets the director once or twice a year to advise on the centre’s activities.

Technical Steering CommitteeThe centre’s specific activities are constantly being developed by a Technical Steering Committee (TSC) consisting of 1-2 academic representatives from each of the participating departments. The director and the TSC are responsible for the academic management of the centre and for implementing activities within the predetermined budget.

Forskning

Mens effektivitet også i fremtiden er en forudsætning for at kunne konkurrere, har Danmark brug for ”added va-lue” til sine produkter. I tillæg til effektivitet bør den dan-ske svineproduktion indrettes på dokumenteret kvalitet, der omfatter dyresundhed og -velfærd, fødevaresikker-hed, produktkvalitet samt miljøvenlig produktion. Med fokus på disse indsatsområder er der mulighed for, at dansk svineproduktion kan vokse yderligere og bidrage til at skabe flere arbejdspladser og eksportindtægter.

Forskningstemaer og kompetencer CPH Pig kan hjælpe den danske svineproduktion med at dygtiggøre sig på en række felter ved at fokusere sin forskning på særlige temaer. Dette vil give bedre kompe-tencer og merværdi i produkterne.

VelfærdDyrevelfærd bør være et centralt tema i den danske svineproduktion. CPH Pig kan gennem forskning bidrage med udvikling af hurtige og effektive metoder til at bedømme dyrenes overordnede velfærd, samt kortlæg-ning af forsvarlig dyreetik i svineproduktionen. CPH Pig giver den danske svineproduktion bedre kompetencer, fx til afvejningen mellem nytte og pris i relation til dyrevel-færdsinterventioner. Høj velfærd og godt nærmiljø til både søer og grise kan sikres gennem undersøgelser af stier til løsgående søer, og der kan påvises sammenhæng mellem parasitært smittepres og velfærdsfremmende indsatser i form af strøelse og overbrusning.

SundhedUdover generel dyrevelfærd er sundhed et vigtigt tema. Hos CPH Pig vil vi forske i nye og eksisterende syg-domme, og derved kan der udarbejdes risikoanalyser og

modellering af eksotiske sygdomme og bekæmpelses-strategier på nationalt niveau samt kortlægges smittebe-skyttelse mod luft- og vektorbåren smitte. Et tilsvarende forskningstema med konsekvenser for mennesker, er sygdomme, der spredes mellem svin og mennesker.På det praktiske niveau er temaerne overlevelse, ernæ-ring og avl, fx avlsmæssige metoder til forbedring af sundhed og robusthed hos søer og grise.

ProduktionI produktionsøjemed forskes der i effektivitet på flere parametre. Forbedret foder- og omkostningseffektivitet i slagtesvineproduktionen resulterer i mindre spild og dermed en økonomisk gevinst for svineproducenten. Her kan CPH Pig bl.a. forbedre kompetencerne inden for vur-dering af danske proteinfodermidler og påvise fordelen i anvendelse af informations- og kommunikationstekno-logi til dataregistrering der sikrer intensiveret overvågning og styring af produktion. Der forskes også i forbedrede staldsystemer, herunder ventilationssystemer og omkost-ningseffektiv nedbringelse af udledning.

AntibiotikaresistensAnvendelse af antibiotika har konsekvenser både for dyr og mennesker. Der forskes i forbedrede metoder til overvågning af brugen af antibiotika i hele besætninger og i udvikling af effektive vacciner, der kan erstatte anti-biotika. Der sigtes efter sygdomsresistens og forbedret foderudnyttelse bl.a. ved molekylære studier inden for etablering og dynamik af en robust tarmflora fra fød-sel til efter fravænning. Herunder undersøger CPH Pig hvordan tarmfloraens mikrobiota påvirkes af værtsdyrets ernæring og genetik.

Whereas efficiency will also in future be a precondition for competitiveness, Denmark’s products need to have added value. In addition to efficiency, Danish pig production should be designed with assured quality for animal health and welfare, food safety, product quality and environmentally-friendly production. Focusing on these areas of input will enable Danish pig production to grow further and contribute towards creating more jobs and export revenues.

Research themes and skills CPH Pig can assist in making Danish pig production more skilled in a range of ways by focusing its research on special themes. This will provide greater competencies and add value to products.

WelfareAnimal welfare should be a core theme in Danish pig production. At CPH Pig, we shall use our research to contribute to the development of faster, effective methods for judging the overall welfare of animals and for identifying ethical methods of pig production. CPH Pig is giving Danish pig production greater skills, for example in the balance between utility and price with respect to animal welfare interventions. A high level of welfare and good environments for sows and pigs can be ensured by investigating housing for loose sows and by demonstrating the interrelationship between parasitic infection pressure and welfare-promoting interventions like bedding and sprinkling.

HealthIn addition to general animal welfare, healthcare is an important theme. At CPH Pig, we shall be researching new and existing diseases, enabling us to do risk analyses and modelling for exotic diseases and treatment strategies at the national level and to identify ways of protecting against air and vector-borne infection. One related research theme with implications for humans is disease spread between pigs and humans.Practically speaking, the themes of the centre are survival, nutrition and breeding, for example breeding methods for improving the health and robustness of sows and pigs.

ProductionFor production purposes, the centre is doing research into efficiency for multiple parameters. Enhanced feed uptake efficiency and cost-effectiveness in slaughter pig production cut waste and mean financial gains for the pig producer. Here, CPH Pig can also improve skills in assessing Danish protein feeds and demonstrate the advantages of using information and communication technology for data registration to ensure closer monitoring and control of production. Research is also being done on improved housing systems, including ventilation systems and cost-effective reduction of emissions.

Antimicrobial resistanceThe use of antibiotics has consequences for both animals and humans. Research is being done into improved methods for monitoring the use of antibiotics for entire herds and for developing effective vaccines to replace antibiotics. The aim is for better utilisation of feed and greater disease resistance, among other things by molecular studies on the establishment and dynamics of robust gut flora from birth until after weaning. As part of this, we are investigating the influence of host animal nutrition and genetics on the intestinal microbiota.
