The root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne hapla, is an increasing problem in carrot cultivation in Sweden and Europe. Soil analysis is extremely important to plan sustainable crop rotations, reduce nematode multiplication in soil and eventually minimize yield loss. Traditional soil analyses are time consuming and have low capacity. The overall goal of this project is to provide growers with a cheap and reliable DNA method based on the Loop-mediated Isothermal Amplification (LAMP). The aim is to validate the practical application of LAMP for soil analysis. DNA will be extracted from two soil types to which certain number of second-stage juveniles are added. Two DNA extraction methods will be compared, a simple manual method and a commercial DNA kit. DNA will be extracted from soil samples, collected from field trials in 2017, as well as new samples from commercial fields in Skåne and Gotland. Samples will be analyzed by Seinhorsts elutriation method and by real-time LAMP.
Skador av rotgallnematoder i frilandsgrönsaker, framförallt i morötter, ökar. Jordanalys är en viktig åtgärd för att öka kvaliteten och motverka skördeförlusten. Att ge odlarna tillgång till en snabb och säker metod för att identifiera och kvantifiera rotgallnematoder har därför hög prioritet. Traditionella metoder är tidskrävande och har låg kapacitet. Det övergripande målet är att ge näringen, odlare och rådgivningsbranschen tillgång till en snabb och säker DNA analysmetod baserad Loop-mediated Isothermal Amplification (LAMP). Syftet är att utvärdera praktiskt tillämpning av LAMP för analys av rotgallnematoder i jord. DNA extraheras från två jordtyper, till vilka ett bestämt antal juveniler tillsätts. Två metoder för DNA extrahering jämförs, en enkel metod och ett kommersiellt DNA kit. DNA extraheras från 24 jordprover samlades från fältförsök i 2017 samt från nya prover samlas från kommersiella fält, sedan analyseras med Seinhorsts elutriator metod och valideras med realtids-LAMP.

Wheat bran is the largest by-product of wheat flour production with approximately 300,000 tonnes in Sweden. Bran is mainly used in animal feed, as human digestion is not fully able to absorb it. Wheat bran contains valuable biomolecules, such as dietary fiber (arabinoxylans, AX) and phenolic …

Competing unshod is an important issue for the Swedish harness industry. There is a general opinion that performance may increase significantly but it does not always work. The reason for failure may be disturbed locomotion “balance” of the horse or due to pain from the hooves. This is obviously …

The purpose of this project is to define the amount of slaked lime needed for a given clay soil. We hypothesise that the amount of slaked lime needed for minimal phophorus loss is dependent on the clay content of the soil. The study will be conducted in a field with a drainage system and measuring …

Resistance to anthelmintic drugs is a threat to equine welfare. Like antibiotics, is restrictive use of anthelmintics necessary to retain their effectivity. Thus, targeted selective treatment, based on individual deworming, was introduced a decade ago. However, we have shown that the prevalence of, …

Increased production and export of products with high added values, e.g. long-ripened hard cheeses, are considered important steps for a positive development of the Swedish dairy sector. Increased investment in Swedish premium cheese will, however, require increased volumes of high quality raw milk …

Knowledge of disease development in wheat is a prerequisite for good advice on economically and environmentally
adapted control strategies. This project is based on knowledge from a previous SLF project about molecular detection
and spore traps, which showed that the different spore traps catch …

The aim of this project is to investigate individual differences in the rate of passage of feed, feed efficiency, microbial flora and methane production in cows with different ability to consume large proportion of roughage.
Our previous studies show that methane production differs between cows …
