Cannabinoids have potential to induce analgesia and muscle relaxation which would be beneficial for equine practice. Today there is no drug labelled for veterinary use containing these cannabinoids, but there are some herbal oil products which unofficially have been reported to be used in horses, despite no information about their efficacy nor absorption, distribution and elimination in horses.
To protect horse welfare, screening in anti-doping- and medication control programs is motivated due to these compounds’ properties. Unfortunately, naturally occurring cannabinoids have been demonstrated as feed contaminants which have resulted in positive tests in the doping control. Since pharmacological information about these compounds is incomplete, all findings can be considered as a doping violation, a major and costly problem for the feed-industry. This study provides warranted information and knowledge in potential use of these compounds, for safe feed and increase horse welfare.
Cannabinoider har en potentiell användning för smärtlindring och muskelavslappning, vilket skulle kunna nyttjas inom hästmedicinen. Idag finns inget godkänt läkemedel för veterinärt bruk innehållande dessa substanser men det finns växtbaserade oljor som inofficiellt rapporteras används på häst. Detta trots att det inte finns någon information gällande farmakologisk effekt eller absorption, distribution och eliminering i häst.
För djurskyddet, med tanke på dessa ämnens egenskaper, utförs dopningskontrollanalyser. Tyvärr har det visat sig att cannabinoider också finns som foderkontaminanter vilket resulterat i positiva dopningskontrollprover och ett kostsamt problem för foderindustrin. Eftersom det idag inte finns tillräckliga farmakokinetiska och farmadynamiska data för dessa ämnen, klassificeras alla dopningskontrollfynd som överträdelse av dopningsregler. Denna studie kommer ge ökad information och kunskap om användningen av dessa preparat till häst, vilket också främjar djurskyddet.

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 …

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 …

Acquired equine polyneuropathy (AEP) is a devastating neurologic disease affecting Nordic horses. Characteristic histopathological changes have been shown in the peripheral nerves of horses euthanized due to the disease. These include re- and demyelination as well as hypertrophy of perikaria and …

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 …

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 …

Climate change has brought about changing conditions for agriculture. In recent years precipitation deficit during the growing season has led to a shortage of forage in Sweden. During dry years, irrigation is necessary to achieve optimal yields. In addition, irrigation can bring about positive …

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 …
