Dobutamine for NEOnatal CIRCulatory failure defined by novel biomarkers (NEO-CIRC)
Start date: Oct 1, 2011, End date: Sep 30, 2018,
Dobutamine and adrenaline are widely used as second line therapy for systemic hypotension in infants. Dopamine is currently the most widely used first line drug.

Understanding the contribution of cattle behaviour to variations in feed efficiency and greenhouse gas emissions and the welfare consequences of improving environmental sustainability (BEHENT)
Start date: Apr 1, 2013, End date: Mar 31, 2015,
"Emissions of methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (NO2) are considered to be major anthropogenic contributors to the greenhouse effect, much of which is from livestock agriculture. The most important sources are the enteric fermentation of ruminants and manure processing. The Residual Feed Intake (RFI) is the difference between actual feed intake and the expected feed requirements for maintenance. The ...
