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.

The project aims are to use the information about cow's DNA profile to estimate the severity of fertility problems caused by specific genetic defects in the Swedish Red (SRB) and Holstein dairy breeds, and to estimate the economic impact of pregnancy losses caused by these genetic defects. Our goal …

Achieving and maintaining a good stable climate with low ammonia levels is a major challenge for many poultry farmers. In addition to adversely affecting animal health, production and the working environment, high levels of ammonia in the stable can also lead to increased environmental impact. The …

Feeding protein supplements is advantageous because of a positive response in milk production. Rapeseed meal has given better production responses on a protein basis than soybean meal, but its supply is not sufficient to meet the requirements of dairy production. Red clover is one alternative to …

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 …
