The course targets research students in the field of dairy production
with cow and calf contact. The aim of the course is to give the
participants a deep understanding of how cow and calf contact affects
milk synthesis and milk removal and how this can be studied. The course
will also provide an overview understanding of how cow and calf contact
affects the economic, social and environmental sustainability of dairy
production.
The course has three blocks (modules):
1) Distance learning in a flipped classroom design, covering milk
synthesis, milk ejection, milk removal and milk quality. A combination of
literature, lectures, group discussions and assignments will be used.
Total study time approximately 46 hours.
2) Campus teaching (SLU Ultuna, Uppsala, Sweden), with focus on research
methodology for studying dairy production with cow and calf contact,
including presentations of students’ own research projects. During the
campus teaching week students will meet active researchers in the field
and do study visits. Teaching will be characterized by a high level of
interactions between teachers and students in discussions and seminars.
Total study time approximately 40 hours.
3) The course finishes with an individual project that is presented in a
short written summary and an oral presentation with opponents, again
using distance learning techniques. Total study time approximately 46
hours.
Block 2 will be one week full time teaching at Ultuna Campus. Block 1 and
3 will be scheduled to allow students to study 50-100%, depending on
their other activities.
