Kassationer vid slakt i svensk slaktkycklingproduktion - finns möjliga vägar till förbättringar?

The project will, in collaboration with farmers, extension officers and researchers, develop integrated pest management strategies against powdery mildew in greenhouse production of cucumber. Microbiological pest control products permitted in the EU and/or other parts of the world as well as other …

I SLU TEMA-forskningsprogrammet ”Biologisk markkartering av jordburna patogener (BioSoM)” har utvecklats DNA-baserade detektionsmetoder. Specifika DNA-sekvenser och qPCR-teknik används för kvantifiering av växtpatogener i jord. Det gäller detektion och kvantifiering av ärtrotröta (Aphanomyces …

Improvements in nitrogen efficiency in ruminants are needed. Correct feed evaluation is a prerequisite and protein degradation in the rumen is one of the most important factors to consider. This project aims at developing a routine assay for protein degradation in ruminant feeds, where gaseous …

The project goal is to develop commercially interesting potato cultivars for the whole of Sweden as a combination project together with the excisting plant breeding program at SLU Alnarp. Focus is to develop cultivars with sustainable resistance to late blight and brown rot caused by Phytophthora …

An increasing proportion of animals are staying overnight at abattoirs before slaughter. Some studies conclude that lairage after transport allows the animal to rest, regenerate body reserves and reduce the degree of dehydration, while others believe that the lairage environment itself may inhibit …

Sammanfattning av forskningsprojektet (svenska)
Syftet är att utveckla en långsiktigt fungerande plattform för aktörssamverkan kring potatisforskning mellan
forskare, rådgivare, lantbrukare och andra intressenter. Målet är att gemensamt utveckla en modell för hållbar

between scientists, advisors, farmers and industry. The aim is to jointly develop a model for sustainable knowledge
round efficient, profitable and competitive production. Traditional …

Spontaneous heating in the silage at opening the silos is the most common problem in feed storage systems at Swedish dairy farms. Large volumes of feed are discarded causing economical loss and feeds in the process of deterioration are a risk to animal health. Yeast is identified as the most …

This project represents SLU´s contribution to a Nordic initiative for improved feed efficiency (FE) in dairy production and reduced environmental impact. The concept FE represents how effective nutrients are transformed to animal products. FE has been used a benchmark within poultry, swine and beef …
