Research Areas
-
Department of Anatomy and Histology
Department of Animal Breeding, Nutrition and Laboratory Animal Science
- Digestive physiology. Effect of nutrients on the pituitary adrenal
axis.Nutrient’s digestibility. Factors influencing body compositions. Evaluation of the protein quality
of different foodstuffs. Feeding dairy cows, goats, sheep, dogs, cats, fur animals, birds
Department of Animal Hygiene
- Research in environmental physiology of farm animals in the Environmental Laboratory of the Department
- Research in mycotoxins
- Metabolic disorders of high yielding dairy cows
- Different R&D works (e.g. slaughterhouse monitoring, herd health programs for swine
farms, chronic respiratory disorders of pigs, organic selenium, organic chromium
etc.)
Department of Biomathematics and Informatics
- applied statistics
- dynamical and statistical analysis of agricultural systems
- fuzzy logic and its applications
- modelling biological and social systems
- preference modelling
Department of Chemistry
- Within the scope of the research projects, some of them carried out in contract research with the pharmaceutical industry, special efforts are centered on the synthesis of new
compounds, potentially with biological activity, in the field of nitrogen-containing heterocyclic systems. The structure elucidation of the synthesized compounds are achieved by application of modern spectroscopic methods
Department of Food Hygiene
- Development of the up-to-date instrumental methods for microbiological detection
(conductance/capacitance/impedance) and rapid/real-time methods for hygienic control;
- Red and poultry meat quality control related experimental projects;
- Systematic development of the synthetic media/broths for microbiological food control
purpose;
- Epidemiological surveillance of zoonotic agents transmitted via foods;
- Development of food-safety related analytical-toxicological methods for detecting chemical contaminants (residues) in foods;
- Experimental microbiology and the related residue control connected with the
mastitis-eradication;
- Contribution to the development of food technologies related food safety schemes
(SSOP, HACCP);
- Contribution to the survey and elaboration of the food safety related home legislations and simultaneous follow-up and inter-comparison of the connected EU- and
USDA/FSIS-legislation and regulations; evaluation and inter-comparison of the home and
foreign/overseas ones;
- International contribution to the elaboration of FAO/WHO Codex Alimentarius Commission
(CAC) and JECFA related food-safety proposals.
Department and Clinic of Internal Medicine
- Pathophysiological research
- Clinical research
Department of Microbiology and Infectious Diseases
- Research activity of the department is focused on several bacterium genera
(Actinobacillus, Campylobacter, Escherichia, Haemophilus, Neisseria, Pasteurella, Salmonella,
Serpulina), virus families (Adenoviridae, Herpesviridae, Paramyxoviridae. Reoviridae) together with the diseases they cause in farm animals and honey bees. Research on the immunology of farm animals and fishes, carried out at the department help the understanding the
pathogenicity, prevention and the host-parasite
relationship.
