The application is a part of a bigger campaign at the department with the goal to restrict the losses that occur when ensiling roughages. The invisible losses in bunker silos are above 20 % of the feed. When heating occur even more is discarded. In the project we will investigate the differences in …

Especially for farm plants high upgrading costs result in biogas rarely being an option as fuel for farm tractors, despite the advantages this fuel may have on agriculture in general. However, it is likely that the tractors would work at least equally well if the gas was less purified, reducing the …

Puccinia striiformis causes yellow rust on grasses including wheat, rye, and triticale. Samples of the pathogen were taken in 2012 (353 total) and 2015 (162) and analysed with microsatellite markers (15 in 2012 and 16 in 2015). Race analyses were also undertaken on samples from the same fields in …

Målet med denna forskningsstudie är att undersöka aktörsnätverk som antingen möjliggör eller förhindrar grön matkonsumtion med syftet att synliggöra hur grön matkonsumtion produceras. Grunden för studien utgörs av empiriska fallstudier av olika aktörer och aktiviteter inom restaurang och …

Emissionerna av lustgas (N2O) var låga från Lanna, väl under 1 kg ha-1 år-1, och i samma storleksordning som för Logården (Västra Götaland). Emissionerna var därmed inte högre än i övriga EU, snarare lägre, detta än för IPCC-metoden. Det var inga skillnader i emissionerna mellan olika spannmålsslag …

Liquid manure contains valuable nutrients, but high water contents and low nutrient concentrations increases the cost of storage, transport and spreading so that its value becomes negative even when spreading only a few kilometers from the farm center. Technology that reduces slurry volume and …

The cattle lungworm, Dictyocaulus viviparus, can cause severe disease in grazing animals. Since problems caused by the infection tend to increase in both young and adult cattle, new control methods are needed. Repeated infections induce protective immunity, but the mechanisms involved are poorly …

Vi undersökte insektspollineringens betydelse för höstrapsskörden i två typer av experiment, ett landskapsexperiment i Sverige och ett burförsök i Italien. Vi såg att skörden ökade med 11 % när honungsbin placerades ut i skånska höstrapsfält, men bara i linjesorter. I motsats till förväntningen att …

Autologous Conditioned Serum (ACS) is a new form for therapy for joint disease commonly used in equine practice. ACS is derived from the patient’s own blood, by stimulating leukocytes into producing anti-inflammatory cytokines and growth factors. The resultant cytokine-rich serum is injected into …
