Although the equine sector in Sweden has gone through an expansion the last decades, the working methods have not changed. Working conditions must be improved to enable the horse industry to offer safe, sustainable and attractive jobs. The aim is to develop methods and tools for work environment management in cooperation with the horse industry, with emphasis on characteristics to stimulate motivation and commitment. Based on previous research, a successful implementation of a systematic work environment management could be achieved through participatory interventions where the staff is engaged in the process, reachable goals are defined and easy-to-use tools are provided. The work is expected to generate improved profitability and productivity and improved physical and psychosocial health. As working conditions in the horse industry improve, equestrian professions will achieve greater status leading to enhanced possibilities of finding and retaining qualified and skilled personnel.
Trots att hästnäringen har utvecklats på senare år har utvecklingen av arbetssätt och arbetsmiljön mer eller mindre stått still. Arbetsvillkoren måste förbättras för att hästnäringen ska kunna erbjuda trygga, hållbara och attraktiva anställningar. Målet är att tillsammans med hästnäringen utveckla metoder och verktyg för ett kontinuerligt arbetsmiljöarbete, med särskilt fokus på egenskaper som skapar motivation och engagemang. Tidigare forskningsresultat visar att ett framgångsrikt arbetsmiljöarbete kan uppnås genom deltagande forskningsmetoder, där personalen är engagerad i processen, nåbara mål definieras och lättanvända verktyg tillhandahålls. Förväntat resultat är att arbetsmiljöarbetet bidrar till att förbättra den fysiska och psykiska hälsan inom yrkesgruppen och på sikt också ger en förbättrad lönsamhet och produktivitet. Arbetsplatserna blir mer attraktiva, vilket gör att yrken inom hästnäringen kan få en ökad status och det blir därmed lättare att hitta och behålla kompetens.

Icelandic horses are increasingly popular in Sweden and Norway. Their strength lies in their unique gaits, however, in lame horses this trait becomes a weakness. Evaluating not only lameness but also the leg of origin for lameness in any gait other than trot is exceptionally challenging. Today, we …

We are facing a protein shift in which a portion of the animal based protein in our diet needs to be replaced by plant proteins to reduce the climate impact from the food sector. Many agricultural by-streams contain high value proteins not used to their full potential. We aim to recover proteins …
