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.

In modern large-scale pig production, first-rate hygienic conditions are necessary to avoid outbreaks of diseases and promote and maintain a good biosecurity, However, evaluation of pen hygiene is highly subjective. The project aims to adapt and evaluate a new method for the standardised measure of …

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 …

Heat stress is expected to be of major concern in Swedish animal production systems in the future. The air temperatures in parts of Sweden are expected to correspond to today's temperatures in southern Europe, where livestock experience heat stress today. Excessive thermal load affects the welfare …
