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.

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. …

A cornerstone of the Swedish Food Strategy is trust in Swedish food production. Yet each year Swedish farmers and food processors lose both money and trust due to food fraud, especially for non-Swedish meat relabelled as Swedish. Most fraud remains undetected. A recent analytical development, Rapid …

Introduction of African swine fever to Sweden would be devastating for the national pig industry. Infected wild boar are considered the most likely route of introduction to Swedish domestic pigs and preventive measures are needed. Knowledge of how infection from wild boar to pigs can be prevented, …

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 …
