The purpose of this project is to investigate to what extent substances in algae inhibit microbial methane formation in cows. Several substances, so-called bioactive substances, in red, green and brown algae, have a significant methane reducing effect. These are promising results but in order to reach a commercial product with efficient methane-reducing effects, knowledge of the effect on the cows' microflora by these substances is needed. This study will use algae substances, which in already funded projects have been identified to give effects when fed to cows, and further investigate the impact on these on the rumen microbial community. In addition we aim to investigate the possibility of optimizing the substances in algae through a more controlled cultivation. Reduced methane production will strengthen the ompetitiveness of the dairy and also beef industry.
Syftet med detta projekt är att undersöka i vilken omfattning substanser i alger hämmar mikrobiell metanproduktion i kor. Flera substanser, s.k. bioaktiva substanser, i röda, gröna och bruna alger har en signifikant metanreducerande effekt. Detta är lovande resultat och för att kunna ta fram ett effektivt kommersiellt metanreducerande preparat behövs kunskap om effekten på kornas mikroflora av dessa substanser. Denna studie planerar att nyttja resultat från redan finansierade studier där effekten av utfordring av alger på ko-nivå identifieras. Utifrån dessa studier vill vi i detta projekt undersöka olika bioaktiva substanser och deras inverkan på mikroorganismerna i vommen och om det går att optimera innehållet av substanserna i algerna genom en mer kontrollerad odling. En minskad metanproduktion kommer kunna stärka konkurrenskraften inom mjölk-, men även köttbranschen.

Wheat bran is the largest by-product of wheat flour production with approximately 300,000 tonnes in Sweden. Bran is mainly used in animal feed, as human digestion is not fully able to absorb it. Wheat bran contains valuable biomolecules, such as dietary fiber (arabinoxylans, AX) and phenolic …

Competing unshod is an important issue for the Swedish harness industry. There is a general opinion that performance may increase significantly but it does not always work. The reason for failure may be disturbed locomotion “balance” of the horse or due to pain from the hooves. This is obviously …

The purpose of this project is to define the amount of slaked lime needed for a given clay soil. We hypothesise that the amount of slaked lime needed for minimal phophorus loss is dependent on the clay content of the soil. The study will be conducted in a field with a drainage system and measuring …

Resistance to anthelmintic drugs is a threat to equine welfare. Like antibiotics, is restrictive use of anthelmintics necessary to retain their effectivity. Thus, targeted selective treatment, based on individual deworming, was introduced a decade ago. However, we have shown that the prevalence of, …

Acquired equine polyneuropathy (AEP) is a devastating neurologic disease affecting Nordic horses. Characteristic histopathological changes have been shown in the peripheral nerves of horses euthanized due to the disease. These include re- and demyelination as well as hypertrophy of perikaria and …

Increased production and export of products with high added values, e.g. long-ripened hard cheeses, are considered important steps for a positive development of the Swedish dairy sector. Increased investment in Swedish premium cheese will, however, require increased volumes of high quality raw milk …

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 …

Disease and production disturbances in a herd are often silent, and may cause major losses if they remain undetected. Continuous analysis and monitoring of data already recorded at the farm level can improve profitability. This project will develop methods for monitoring trends in production and …
