Health, welfare, and productivity of animals are shaped by the animal’s capacity to adapt. The aim of the Adaptation Physiology Group (ADP) is to improve, facilitate, and support adaptive capacity by development of robust animals in supportive environments. Main emphases of the research performed within ADP concerns long term effects of early life conditions on adaptive capacity, health, and welfare in later life, and methods to support adaptive capacity during critical transition periods (such as weaning of piglets, onset of lactation in dairy cattle).For more information on ADP please visit the ADP website by clicking the link below (and click read original) or by visiting:http://www.wageningenur.nl/en/Expertise-Services/Chair-groups/Animal-Sciences/Adaptation-Physiology-Group.htmFor a list of scientific publications please visit ResearchGate or the ADP site by clicking on the links below (and click read original) or by visiting:http://www.wageningenur.nl/en/Persons/prof.dr.ir.-B-Bas-Kemp.htmhttps://www.researchgate.net/profile/Bas_Kemp
