Cleaning and disinfection are critical elements for meat premises when it comes to production of safe food of high quality. It is the responsibility of the meat premises to ensure this is done efficiently to keep levels of pathogenic, spoilage and antimicrobial resistant bacteria low. This can be particular challenging if bacterial biofilms are present, which can make bacteria resist cleaning and disinfection. The project aims to reduce pathogenic, spoilage and antimicrobial resistant bacteria at slaughterhouses and meat production plants. This is done by characterizing bacteria using whole genome sequencing, determine their ability to form biofilm at surfaces in slaughterhouses and meat production plants, and evaluate how efficient different cleaning and disinfection methods are with a particular focus on biofilm. The project is performed in cooperation with meat premises and contributes to increased shelf life and safer food of animal origin, which benefit the consumers.
Rengöring och desinfektion av livsmedelsanläggningar är förutsättningar för att säker mat av hög kvalitet ska produceras. Det är företagarens ansvar att detta görs på ett sätt som minimerar förekomst av sjukdomsalstrande-, produktförstörande- och antibiotikaresistenta bakterier. Detta kan vara speciellt svårt i de fall det finns bakteriell biofilm som gör att bakterier kan motstå rengöring och desinfektion. Syftet med projektet är att minska spridning av sjukdomsalstrande-, produktförstörande och antibiotikaresistenta bakterier. Detta görs genom att kartlägga bakterier med hjälp av helgenomsekvensering och fastställa deras förmåga att bilda biofilm i slakteri och köttanläggningar, samt genom att utvärderar rengörings och desinfektionsmetoder med fokus på hur effektiva de är mot biofilm. Projektet genomförs i nära samarbete med livsmedelsföretag och bidrar till ökad hållbarhet och säkrare animaliska livsmedel vilket gynnar konsumenterna.

It is well known that storage of animal manure and digestate causes emissions of methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O) and ammonia (NH3). A crust on liquid manure acts both as a physical barrier for NH3 and as a biofilter that oxidize CH4 and NH3. However, N2O can be formed in some crusts, and there …

The aim of the project is to characterize genomic diversity and inbreeding, within and between Nordic native horse breeds, with special focus on the Norwegian and Swedish breeds. For this we will use whole genome sequencing of individual and pooled DNA samples. Genomic characterization is an …

Insulin dysregulation and hyperinsulinemia is a horse welfare problem that also increase the incidence of the severely painful condition laminitis in horses. Today, no pharmacological treatment is available but recent weak evidence suggest that Sodium-glucose cotransporters (SGLT) inhibitors (e.g. …

It is generally accepted that muscle enzyme activity (CK and AST) levels in plasma may increase in Standardbreds and Thoroughbreds after exercise and racing, indicating muscle damage. However, in one recent study on healthy Standardbred trotters fed a forage only diet muscle enzyme activity levels …

Structure liming on clayey soils (>15% clay) is one of the prioritized measures for mitigation of phosphorous losses to surrounding water. This project increases the knowledge about the effect of structure liming on phosphorous leaching losses on short and long term by investigating the timing and …

Oilseed rape (OSR) is a profitable and important crop in Swedish agriculture, especially winter OSR which is cultivated on approximately 100000 ha each year. Cultivation of OSR relies on large inputs of fertilizers and pesticides, which has economic costs as well as negative environmental impacts. …

According to applicable legislation, manure and digestate must be sanitized in order to prevent disease transmission before they may be merchandised on the open market. Swedish plants currently have the choice between using one of two standard methods (70 °C for 1 h, or 52 °C for 10 h), or carry …
