This project is connected to an already funded grazing application from Norway intending to evaluate methane production from dairy cows in different grazing systems. We aim to evaluate further some important aspects of grazing in northern Sweden. We plan to use some sensory techniques to analyse and quantify biomass production at our research centre and will also apply the technique at some other farms in the northern region. We also plan to collect data and recommendations from farmers with great experience and use of grazing in the Northern region. Economic calculations of these farms with focus on the impact of grazing will also be made.
Det övergripande målet med det här sökta projektet är att optimera betesutnyttjandet i norra Sverige ur såväl ekonomisk som miljömässig synpunkt. Projektet består av fyra delar: WP 1 för samordning inom projektet samt med ett befintligt pågående betesrelaterat projekt bedrivet i samarbete med NIBIO. I WP 2 ingår att göra olika typer av spektrala mätningar för att skatta framför allt biomassa på betesvallar. Detta görs parallellt med ett motsvarande projekt rörande slåttervallar. Mätningarna kommer att göras både på SLU Röbäcksdalen men även på de gårdar som ingår i WP 3. Där besöks ett antal gårdar med hög betesanvändning för att samla data om deras produktion och hur de utnyttjar och arbetar med betet. I WP 4 görs ekonomiska beräkningar utgående från dessa gårdar, men även från ett större material insamlat i Västernorrland. Resultaten ska rapporteras i ett faktablad innehållande data och tips från de olika delarna, samt i en artikel och på möten med lantbrukare.

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 …

A cornerstone of the Swedish Food Strategy is trust in Swedish food production. Yet each year Swedish farmers and food processors lose both money and trust due to food fraud, especially for non-Swedish meat relabelled as Swedish. Most fraud remains undetected. A recent analytical development, Rapid …

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 …

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, …

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 …

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 …

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 …
