Climate change with increasing droughts and excessive rainfall, challenges forage production for livestock industry. Intermediate wheatgrass (IWG) is a stress-tolerant grass, being introduced in Sweden as a perennial forage and grain crop. We aim to develop recommendations for nitrogen (N)-fertilization rate, harvest time, and silage conservation of IWG for optimum forage yield and feed value for livestock. A replicated field experiment will be established at three locations in Sweden to evaluate N-fertilization rate and harvest time of first cut and N-fertilization rate and regrowth interval on dry-matter yield and feed value of IWG. Fermentation quality, DM losses and aerobic stability of ensiled IWG with and without additive will be studied. N-fertilization rates and harvest regimes will be tested at demonstration fields on farms across Sweden to evaluate IWG performance under practical conditions and results will be communicated at field days, conferences, and in scientific papers.
Klimatförändringar med längre perioder av torka och stora regnmängder utmanar grovfoderodlingen för lantbrukare. Flerårigt vetegräs (Thinopyrum intermedium) är en stresstålig gröda som kan användas till skörd av grovfoder och kärna. Vårt mål är att utveckla rekommendationer för kväve(N)-gödslingsnivå, skördetidpunkt och ensilering av flerårigt vetegräs för optimal grovfoderavkastning och fodervärde för lantbrukets djur. Fältförsök etableras på tre platser i Sverige för att utvärdera N-gödslingsnivå och skördetidpunkt i första skörd samt N-gödslingsnivå och återväxt intervall på grödans grovfoderavkastning och fodervärde. Fermenteringskvalitet och förluster studeras hos grödan då den ensileras med eller utan tillsatsmedel. N-gödslingsnivåer och skördestrategier testas i demonstrationsfält på gårdar från norra till södra Sverige för att utvärdera grödans prestanda under praktiska förhållanden och resultat kommuniceras vid fältvandringar, konferenser och i vetenskapliga publikationer.

Poultry have a strong motivation for foraging and spend most of the day pecking and searching for food. In commercial conditions, the birds are fed a pellet diet, which is consumed very quickly. Consequently, hens spend a large part of the day engaging in abnormal non-food related pecking …

This application aims at finding a solution to a problem that exists in greenhouse production. Greenhouses have long been considered to be closed systems with no leakage to the surrounding environment. However, it has been shown that plant protection products (PPP) are found in the environment …

This project is about refining grass to meet a demand for proteins for, above all, organic poultry production and an expected increased demand for soy-free feed solutions for monogastric animals. Forage-based products also improve the economic preconditions to increase the proportion of grass in …

Zinkoxid (ZnO) in feed prevents post weaning diarrhoea (PWD) and mortality in weaned piglets but, for environmental reasons, ZnO will be banned in the EU in 2022 despite that there remain herds that are dependent on the use of ZnO (or antibiotics) at weaning.
By metagenomic analysis (sequencing …

A sustainable use of phosphorus fertilizers has engaged a large number of researchers, especially how to measure
the soil content of available phosphorus. However, the development of results to useful methods for agriculture has
not been a priority. The recommendations are based on extraction with …
