Both footrot and contagious ovine digital dermatitis (CODD) can cause extensive damage to the feet of affected sheep, and cause both suffering and financial losses. The aim of the proposed one-year project is to gain new knowledge about these two infectious feet diseases and their respective disease causing agents, Dichelobacter nodosus and Treponema species. This is knowledge which is lacking today and which is crucial in order to be able to develop effective control strategies for the two diseases in the future. An international workshop is planned at the end of the project where we plan to present the obtained data to the reference group and to our international collaborators to put together a road map for national control strategies. In the long term, the project contributes to healthier sheep without footrot and CODD, which promotes profitability of the production and increases animal welfare.
Både fotröta och smittsam digital dermatit (CODD) kan ge omfattande skador på klövarna hos drabbade djur och orsakar både lidande och ekonomiska förluster. Det ettåriga projektets mål är att få ny kunskap om dessa två smittsamma klövsjukdomar och deras respektive sjukdomsframkallande agens; Dichelobacter nodosus och Treponema species. Detta är kunskap som saknas idag och som är avgörande för att kunna ta fram effektiva kontrollstrategier för de två sjukdomarna i framtiden. En internationell workshop planeras i slutet av projektet där vi planerar att presentera erhållna data för referensgruppen och för våra internationella samarbetspartners för att sätta ihop en färdplan för nationella kontrollstrategier. På lång sikt bidrar projektet till friskare får utan fotröta och smittsam digital dermatit vilket gynnar lönsamheten i produktionen och ger en ökad djurvälfärd.

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 …

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 …
