Correct assessment of hind limb lameness is a challenge, also for most experienced vets. This causes incorrect diagnoses and faulty treatment interventions which lead to unnecessary suffering for the horses and an unnecessary financial burden for owners and insurance companies. The aim of this project is to improve both the subjective visual assessment as well as objective measurements of hind limb lameness in order to refine the diagnostic methods (e.g. by associating specific movement patterns to certain diagnoses). The project is a joint effort between the veterinary universities and clinics at SLU in Uppsala and NMBU in Oslo and will be performed in collaboration with the Royal Veterinary College in London and Utrecht University. The researchers provide competencies in clinical surgery and orthopedics, biomechanics and pedagogics that will ensure that the best possible clinical tools for subjective and objective lameness assessment will be produced.
Att korrekt bedöma bakbenshältor på hästar är svårt, även för de flesta erfarna veterinärer. Det leder till utbredda problem med felaktiga diagnoser och misslyckade behandlingsinsatser. Detta i sin tur skapar onödigt lidande för hästarna och dyra utredningskostnader för djurägare och försäkringsbolag. Projektets syfte är att förbättra både den subjektiva visuella bedömningen och objektiva mätmetoder för att detektera bakbenshältor och förfina diagnostiken genom att t.e.x. detektera specifika rörelsemönster kopplade till vissa skadetyper. Projektet är ett samverkansprojekt mellan universitet och kliniker på SLU i Uppsala och NMBU i Oslo som utförs i samarbete med the Royal Veterinary College i London och Utrech Universitet, där kompetens inom klinisk kirurgi, biomekanik, ortopedi och pedagogik samlas för att ta fram kliniska verktyg för subjektiv och objektiv hältanalys och utbildningsmaterial som ska leda till en nödvändig förbättring av diagnostiken.

This project aims to modify existing sensor systems for adapted nitrogen fertilization to consider water stress at
supplementary fertilization in cereals. Different approaches to consider sensor data and soil information will be tested
in field trials. Current commercial systems interpret water …

Agriculture in plain-lands is often specialized in crop production, with no on-farm use of ley as animal fodder, and crop rotations that often includes only annual crops (e.g. oilseed rape, cereals and sugar beets). At the same time, integrating ley in arable cropping systems generates several …

Conventional technology is virtually unable to measure complete GHG budgets of drained organic soils, which may provide misleading results. So, global estimates of GHG emissions are based on coarse assumptions that don’t take into account the complexity of agroecosystems. Better data are needed for …

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 …

Humus is an important indicator of soil quality and soil organic carbon (SOC) sequestration is a cost-effective measure to reduce the climatic impact of food production systems. The national soil-monitoring program (SMP) show an upward trend in SOC during the past 20 years, mostly attributed to an …
