All horses grazing freely are at risk of parasitic diseases. Due to a growing problem with drug resistance in parasites, there is a need to improve the diagnostic methods. One important problem with today's situation is that one diagnostic procedure costs significantly more than one treatment, both in terms of money and in working hours. Thus, there are strong driving forces to treat "just in case" rather than giving treatment only in cases where it is strictly motivated.
We therefore propose a diagnostic system based on microfluidic separation of fecal samples. The samples are treated in different steps so that the eggs of interest can be sorted and then analyzed using primarily cellular phone-based microscopy which is very easy to use for the horse owner, but also using impedance spectroscopy, and DNA analysis.
We expect our microfluidic system for the diagnosis of fecal samples is faster, easier to use, more sensitive, more accurate and less expensive than today's systems.
Alla hästar som betar fritt utsätts för risk att drabbas av parasitsjukdomar. På grund av ett växande problem med läkemedelsresistens hos parasiter finns det ett behov av att förbättra diagnostiken. Ett viktigt problem med dagens situation är att en diagnostisk analys kostar mångdubbelt mer än en behandling, såväl i reda pengar som i arbetstid. Det finns alltså starka drivkrafter att behandla ”för säkerhets skull” snarare än att behandla enbart i de fall då det är strikt motiverat.
Vi föreslår därför ett diagnossystem som baseras på mikrofluidisk separation av träckprover. Proverna behandlas i olika steg så att de ägg som är av intresse sorteras fram och sedan analyseras med främst mobiltelefonbaserad mikroskopi som är ytterst enkel att använda för den enskilde hästägaren men också med impedansspektroskopi och DNA analys.
Vi förväntar oss att vårt mikrofluidiska system för diagnos av träckprover är snabbare, enklare att använda, mer känsligt, mer precist och billigare än dagens system.

Decreasing population sizes and risk of accumulation of inbreeding is a challenge for the national Norwegian horse breeds; the Dole, the Fjord and the Nordland/Lyngen. The average breed-specific reduction in covered mares is between 37% and 45%, when comparing the years 2000 to 2009 to the years …

Cereal production is limited by many different factors. Leaf diseases are often well known, while diseases on roots are more difficult to identify. Root diseases are often caused by oomycetes, fungus-like microorganisms that live for years in soil and on old root debris, parasitizing the roots of …

In the proposed project, we will explore the benefits of increasing the longevity of dairy cows under Swedish conditions by changes in herd management. We will focus on effects on methane emissions by modelling, using existing data from the Swedish Official Milk Recording Scheme and results from 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 …

The sensory attributes of the raw milk are of major importance for the quality of the resulting dairy products. Since the early 90’ies, the so-called “blueberry off-flavour” has caused severe economic consequences for affected dairy farmers. The mechanism behind is still unclear, although forages …

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 …
