A few years ago, media reported on a 7 year-old girl who was killed during a riding lesson. The accident evokes questions about children, horses and safety. Children are small and horses big, and the horse is a herd and prey animal whose behaviour is partly controlled by instincts. Today, many riding schools in Sweden and Norway offer riding for pre-school children, despite the fact that riding instructors say that they are 'too young to ride'. Overall, research on pre-school children's sport activities is scant and there is no research focusing horse riding. The aim of the project Too young to ride? is therefore to increase the knowledge of horse and riding education for young children with the objective to develop safer horse environments that take into account the welfare of horses. The project will be analysed using sociology of childhood and 'humanimal' research. The results of the project are relevant for riding schools, instructors and horse industry in Sweden and Norway.
För några år sedan rapporterade media om en sjuårig flicka som förolyckats vid en ridlektion. Olyckan ställer frågor om barn, hästar och säkerhet på sin spets. Barn är små och hästar stora, och hästen är ett flock- och flyktdjur vars beteende delvis styrs av instinkter. Idag erbjuder många ridskolor i Sverige och Norge ridning för förskolebarn, trots att ridlärare upplever att de är 'för små för att rida'. Överlag saknas forskning om yngre barns idrottsutövning och det finns ingen forskning som fokuserar ridsporten. Syftet med projektet Är de för små för att rida? är därför att öka kunskapen om häst- och ridundervisning av yngre barn med avsikt att utveckla säkrare hästmiljöer som tar hänsyn till hästars välfärd. Barndomssociologi och hum-/samforskning om relationen mellan människa och djur används i analysen. Projektets resultat är relevanta för ridskolor, ridlärare och hästnäringen generellt i både Sverige och Norge.

The aim of the project is to develop tools which can be used for individually adapted lactation lengths based on the biological conditions of the cow. Today a one year calving interval and a short lactation period, is recommended. The recommendations are based on 30 years old information and do not …

The role of liming in the crop rotation remains to be thoroughly investigated. Within two recent SLF projects, yield in sugar beet, barley and oil seed rape has been measured in the first rotation. In 2018, beets will be grown for a second time which gives us unique possibilities with the aim to …

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, …

Disease and production disturbances in a herd are often silent, and may cause major losses if they remain undetected. Continuous analysis and monitoring of data already recorded at the farm level can improve profitability. This project will develop methods for monitoring trends in production and …

The aim of the project is to study effects of LED-light on milk production and activity in dairy cows. The main hypotheses are that LED light allows maintained cow activity and milk production with less energy used for illumination, and that LED-light makes it possible to apply a dark period during …

Swedish strawberry production suffers from several severe insect pests. When usage of traditional insecticides is phased out and IPM implemented novel green methods for pest control are urgently needed. The strawberry tortricid, Acleris comariana, is a severe pest on strawberries. Its larvae feed …

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 …
