Worm infections in free-range layers are increasingly causing health problem in the poultry industry. Despite this, there are knowledge gaps about how worms are detected in living laying hens and on methods for how they can be controlled in modern free-range housing systems. The objectives of the project are to; i) develop a new molecular tool with which one can distinguish eggs from Ascaridia and Heterakis, and ii) evaluate a method of targeted treatment during production conditions which so far has only been tested on a smaller scale. All in all, the idea is to investigate whether it is possible to suppress the spread of infection and thereby prevent severe re-infection by beginning the deworming at an early stage of the infection cycle. We also intend to evaluate the results of a monitoring program initiated by the Swedish Egg Association in 2009. The results of the proposed research program will thus form the basis and be able to be implemented in the extension service to farmers.
Maskinfektioner hos frigående höns är ett ökande hälsoproblem inom fjäderfänäringen. Trots detta saknas moderna metoder om hur maskinfektioner påvisas i fåglarnas träck samt hur de kan kontrolleras i dagens inhysningssystem. Målsättningarna med projektet är; i) att ta fram molekylär diagnostik med vilken man kan särskilja ägg från spolmask och blindtarmsmask och ii) att under produktionsförhållanden utvärdera en metod för riktad avmaskning. Syftet är att studera om det är möjligt att minska parasiternas smittspridning genom att påbörja avmaskningen i ett tidigt skede av infektionscykeln och därmed förhindra kraftig återinfektion. Vi avser även att utvärdera resultaten av 'Hälsokontroll spolmask' vilket är ett program som initierades av Svenska Ägg 2009. Resultaten av det föreslagna forskningsprogrammet kommer därmed att ligga till grund för och kunna användas i rådgivning till djurägarna till nytta för ett ökat djurskydd och ökad produktion.

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 …

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, …

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 …

Soft tissues around the kneecap (patella) as a cause of equine lameness is an area yet to be scientifically investigated but that is often clinically treated with “alternative” methods without an established diagnosis. In human medicine, patellar tendinosis is a common verified diagnosis. …

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 …
