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.

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 …

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 …

The aim of the project is to study effects of LED-light on milk production and activity in dairy cows. The main hypotheses are that LED light allows maintained cow activity and milk production with less energy used for illumination, and that LED-light makes it possible to apply a dark period during …

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 …

The purpose of this project is to identify the transmission routes for Campylobacter to broiler flocks and recommend actions at farm level to reduce the number of chickens with Campylobacter. Furthermore, to analyse routines at slaughter including cleaning of slaughterhouses and transport crates to …
