Soil compaction is a threat to soil ecosystem services and negatively affects crop productivity, causing huge costs to farmers and society. The main aim of the project is to raise awareness of soil compaction. We will i) refine the freely accessible soil compaction decision support tool www.terranimo.se by including new functionality that allows evaluation of repeated wheeling (several wheels in one track; vibrations under rubber tracks), and ii) perform live soil stress measurements at field days and workshops. The project includes five work packages: 1) development of a measuring system for soil stress, accelerations and displacements suitable for live-demos; 2) in-situ measurements with different machinery and loading conditions as well as 3) laboratory experiments for better understanding of soil deformation due to repeated loading and vibrations; 4) refinement of www.terranimo.se; and 5) live soil stress measurements and presentation of www.terranimo.se at field days.
Markpackning leder till förluster av viktiga ekosystemtjänster som marken tillhandahåller, vilket påverkar växtproduktionen negativt och orsakar stora kostnader för lantbrukarna. Projektets huvudsyfte är att förmedla kunskap om markpackning. Vi kommer att i) vidareutveckla den fritt tillgängliga markpackningsmodellen www.terranimo.se så att den kan hantera och evaluera upprepad belastning (flera hjul i samma spår; vibrationer under band), och ii) göra live-tryckmätningar under lantbruksmaskiner vid fältdagar/-vandringar. Projektet innehåller fem delmoment: 1) tillverkning av ett mätsystem för tryck, acceleration och rörelse i marken som även lämpar sig för demonstrationer; 2) fältmätningar med olika maskiner och antal överfarter samt 3) laboratoriemätningar för ökad kunskap om markdeformation vid upprepad belastning och vibrationer; 4) vidareutveckling av markpackningsmodellen www.terranimo.se; och 5) demonstrationer av tryckmätningar och www.terranimo.se vid fältvandringar/-dagar.

Many horses in training show motion asymmetries, but it is not known if these are due to pain caused by training; or due to individual biological variations. The aim of this project is to initiate three cohort studies where changes in motion symmetry will be monitored over time in riding horses and …

Resistance against antiparasitic drugs is now an increasing problem. Despite a lot of effortd put on preventive measures, such as egg counting and selective treatments, there is still a need for alternative and sustainable methods that do not result in rapid development of drug resistance. The …

Grass for grazing or forage production contains variable amounts of carbohydrates, which often are described as the good (fiber), the bad (sugar) and the ugly (fructans) in relation to prevention, and development of diseases like insulin resistance and laminitis. There is a large variation in …

Laminitis, an extremely painful disease of the equine foot, is most commonly caused by elevated insulin
concentrations in blood (hyperinsulinemia). Therefore, strategies to reduce hyperinsulinemia in horses are warranted.
Studies in obese children with insulin dysregulation and hyperinsulinemia …

The goal of the applied project is to shed light on overlooked aspects of the complex subject of horse welfare.
Because of the specific position stall owners have, they are especially suitable to contribute to our knowledge about
the possibilities and limitations that set the conditions for …

Motor laterality, such as left or right-handedness, is a well-known asymmetric phenomenon in both humans and animals, incl. horses. Concurrently, lameness caused by orthopaedic injury is a common cause for asymmetry. In our study of riding horses in training, 73 % had motion asymmetries, warranting …

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 …
