Climate change has brought about changing conditions for agriculture. In recent years precipitation deficit during the growing season has led to a shortage of forage in Sweden. During dry years, irrigation is necessary to achieve optimal yields. In addition, irrigation can bring about positive effects on the environment by better use of production inputs. The aim of the project is to investigate quantitative and qualitative aspects that can lead to a reduced need of fodder. We will also make an analysis of the potential revenues and costs for the implementation of irrigation systems including costs for water supply.
The main objective of the project is to assess the effects of different irrigation strategies on yield levels and yield quality in terms of application timing and irrigation amount based on climate, crop development stages, soil type and soil water content. The results obtained will directly be translate into guidelines and recommendations to be used in extension services.
Klimatförändringar har medfört förändrade förutsättningar för lantbruket. De senaste årens nederbördsfattiga odlingssäsonger har lett till en brist på grovfoder i Sverige. Under torra år är bevattning nödvändigt för att uppnå optimala skördar. Utöver nyttan av bevattning för växtproduktion kan bevattning leda till positiva miljöeffekter så som bättre nyttjande av produktionsinsatser. Syftet med detta projekt är att utreda kvantitets- och kvalitetsaspekter som kan leda till ett minskat behov av kraftfoder. Vi ska också göra en analys av potentiella intäkter och kostnader för implementering av bevattningssystem och vattenanskaffning.
Huvudmålet med projektet är att bedöma effekter av olika bevattningsstrategier på avkastning och kvalité gällande tidpunkt och bevattningsmängd utifrån klimat, grödans utvecklingsstadier, jordart och markvattenhalt. Erhållna resultat kommer att direkt att kunna användas vid rådgivning till bevattning av slåttervall under olika odlingsförutsättningar.

All horses grazing freely are at risk of parasitic diseases. Due to a growing problem with drug resistance in parasites, there is a need to improve the diagnostic methods. One important problem with today's situation is that one diagnostic procedure costs significantly more than one treatment, both …

Just going to the bathroom is contributing to algae blooms and climate change. Sweden alone releases roughly 15400 tonnes of N and 240 tonnes of P into lakes, rivers and seas, through municipal wastewater (including after treatment). Urine contains 80% of the plant nutrients found in wastewater and …

Heat stress is expected to be of major concern in Swedish animal production systems in the future. The air temperatures in parts of Sweden are expected to correspond to today's temperatures in southern Europe, where livestock experience heat stress today. Excessive thermal load affects the welfare …

Poultry have a strong motivation for foraging and spend most of the day pecking and searching for food. In commercial conditions, the birds are fed a pellet diet, which is consumed very quickly. Consequently, hens spend a large part of the day engaging in abnormal non-food related pecking …
