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.

Motor laterality, such as left or right-handedness, is a well-known asymmetric phenomenon in both humans and animals, incl. horses. Concurrently, lameness caused by orthopaedic injury is a common cause for asymmetry. In our study of riding horses in training, 73 % had motion asymmetries, warranting …

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 …

Slippery floors results in falls and injuries which can be fatal. Moreover, on dairy farms slippery floors impede oestrus behaviour and ease of heat detection and as result cause economical losses due to impaired fertility. Grooving is the most common way to treat concrete floors to reduce …

This project aims at developing and evaluating statistical methods that may provide better predictions than present methods when the number of trials is small. The number of trials in Swedish crop variety testing has decreased since the 1980s. Nowadays, the number of trials is so small that …

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 …
