Projects Scientific job at the Danish Veterinary Laboratory I was employed to develop and test ELISA systems for the identification of Salmonella Dublin infected cattle. The job consisted of isolation and selection of optimal antigens, introduction of ELISA-systemer based on either lipopolysaccaride or protein antigen. Test of the two systems on blood samples from different age groups of cattle in several farms. Bacteriological verification of the serological results in slaughter animals from the involved farms, and bio-typing salmonella isolates in order to use as an epidemiological marker. Scientific job at the Danish Institute of Agricultural Sciences I was employed in a team of nutritional specialists, and my focus area was nutrition of pregnant sows. 22/11/14 European Union, 2002-2014 http://europass.cedefop.europa.eu Page 4 / 5

The work involved experiments regarding digestibility, production and behaviour of sows fed different sources of dietary fibre in the pregnancy diet. I made surgical procedures on pigs in order to study ileal digestibility, and was responsible for the departments licence to make animal experiments involving surgical procedures. I participated or served as project leader in several scientific research programmes founded by the Danish Government.
