Climate projections for Sweden indicate higher temperatures during summer and larger variability in precipitation between years. This poses enormous challenges for Swedish agriculture. The main aim of this project is to investigate relationships between soil management, soil quality and crop yield. We will gather 60-70 farmers in Västergötland and Östergötland and i) perform quantitative surveys and interviews to identify perceived risks, adaption measures and knowledge gaps for securing stable crop production in a changing climate, and ii) measure soil quality on 60-70 farm fields and collect long-term data on soil management, yield and weather to quantify relationships between soil management, soil quality, crop productivity and yield stability. Our hypothesis is that good soil quality improves yield stability, and that a more diverse (e.g. diverse crop rotation) and less intense (e.g. low tillage intensity) soil management improves soil quality.
Klimatprojektioner för Sverige visar högre temperaturer under sommaren och större variationer i nederbörd mellan år. Detta kommer att medföra enorma utmaningar för svenskt jordbruk. Projektets huvudsyfte är att belysa samband mellan brukningsmetoder, markkvalité och skörd. För att studera dessa samband samlar vi 60-70 lantbrukare i Västergötland och Östergötland och gör enkätundersökningar och intervjuer för att identifiera risker, åtgärder och kunskapsluckor för att säkra en stabil växtproduktion i ett förändrat klimat, samt mäter markens kvalité på 60-70 fält och samlar in flera års data om brukningsmetoder, skörd och väderlek för att kvantifiera samband mellan brukningsmetoder, markkvalité och skörd (skördenivå och skördestabilitet). Vår hypotes är att en god markkvalité förbättrar skördestabiliteten och att ett mera diversifierat (t.ex. varierad växtföljd) och mindre intensivt (t.ex. mindre jordbearbetning) brukningssystem främjar markens kvalité.

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 …

During recent decades the area with brushwood has increased in the Swedish rural landscape. A study has shown that the annual harvest of brushwood for fuel purposes could amount to about 6 TWh. Some advantages with the utilization of brushwood as fuel are that the growth areas do not compete with …

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 …

The overall aim of this project is to improve equine health and welfare by identifying causative mutations for inherited diseases to aid informed breeding of healthy horses. We will use a comparative genomics approach, combining whole-genome sequencing (WGS) and bioinformatics with state-of-the-art …

Laminitis, an extremely painful disease of the equine foot, is most commonly caused by elevated insulin
concentrations in blood (hyperinsulinemia). Therefore, strategies to reduce hyperinsulinemia in horses are warranted.
Studies in obese children with insulin dysregulation and hyperinsulinemia …
