Her research is concentrated on different aspects of nutrition and physiology in monogastric animals with special emphasis on poultry. I work with the nutritional value of different feed ingredients and effect of the carbohydrate fraction on nutrient digestibility and utilisation emphasising the importance of intestinal viscosity and passage rate. The correlation between carbohydrate content and the microbial activity are investigated in som studies. Furthermore, there is focus on studies involving allometric measures (relative growth) of different organs in broilers in order to quantify the d
