Racing unshod improves the speed, but not all horses have sufficient hoof quality to run barefoot repeatedly without risking health problems. If measures of the ability to race barefoot based on routinely recorded data can be used as a genetic selection tool, it will improve animal health and welfare and be of economic value. Knowledge about effects of racing barefoot on later performance is valuable for management decisions. Very few studies incorporated large field data on performance under different shoeing conditions, and genetic analysis of such data is lacking. This project aims to study if we can select for the ability to race barefoot in trotting horses, to indirectly improve hoof quality and performance. Different traits related to the proportion or number of barefoot races within a set period will be analysed. Correlations with the performance traits in the genetic evaluation will be estimated, as will effects on racing longevity from racing barefoot early in the career.
Att tävla oskodd förbättrar snabbheten, men alla hästar har inte tillräcklig hovkvalitet för att tävla barfota ofta utan att riskera hälsoproblem. Om mått på förmågan att tävla barfota utifrån rutinmässigt registrerade data kan användas för avelsurval, kan det förbättra djurvälfärd och -hälsa och vara ekonomiskt värdefullt. Kunskap om effekterna av barfotalopp på senare prestationer är värdefull för beslut om skoning såväl som regelverk. Få studier har analyserat stora fältdata för prestation vid olika skonings- eller barfotaförhållanden och genetisk analys av sådana data saknas. Syftet med detta projekt är att undersöka om vi kan avla för förmågan att tävla barfota hos travhästar och indirekt förbättra hovkvalitet och prestation. Olika egenskaper relaterade till andel, eller antal, barfotalopp inom en viss tidsperiod kommer att analyseras. Korrelationer med egenskaperna i dagens avelsvärdering kommer att skattas, liksom effekter av tidiga barfotalopp på tävlingskarriärens längd.

The alarming development of triple resistant Parascaris spp. is an increasing threat to foal health and the equine industry, due to the risk of increasing veterinary costs and loss of foals. A continued development of triple resistant roundworms in Sweden would be devastating for foals and …

Feeding protein supplements is advantageous because of a positive response in milk production. Rapeseed meal has given better production responses on a protein basis than soybean meal, but its supply is not sufficient to meet the requirements of dairy production. Red clover is one alternative to …

Even if Sweden is historically regarded as a water-affluent country, lately sustainable water use and water circularity have become topics of high concern. Irrigation is dependent on high quality water resources, and the need for accessible water resources becomes stronger under exceptionally dry …

An improved strategy for agricultural drainage is important for both economic and environmental reasons. There are indications on environmental benefits of a good drainage but lack of studies that directly shows this. The aim of the project is to develop a basis for design recommendations for new …

Swedish biogas production is crucial to reach environmental and climate targets and manure represents a great potential, corresponding to ca 2,7 Twh. However, the production from manure-based facilities currently only reaches around ca 64 GWh. Due to the character of manure it is difficult to reach …

Poultry manure is commonly used as fertilizer for crop production, however, high nutrient contents and unbalanced nutrient ratios limit application rates and require larger land areas for spreading, driving up manure handling costs. Techniques for incineration and pyrolysis of biomass are …

The use of fungicides in potatoes is in many cases unnecessarily large in relation to the risk of infestation of late
blight and tuber blight. With increased and better knowledge of potato late blight and tuber blight, the average control
intensity can probably be reduced by 25–50%. With the …
