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.

The carbon footprint for ruminants is high compared to other food products of animal origin but grazing animals such
as beef and lamb have other positive effects on the environment such as increased biodiversity and carbon
sequestration. Beef- and lamb producers need clear guidelines on how to …

A main challenge for regions with intensive livestock production is phosphorus (P) surplus on farms, resulting in low P use efficiency and losses to waters. The project will provide solutions to increase P recycling from animal manure. This will decrease our dependency on imported P fertilizers, …

Young horses can develop cervical vertebral stenotic myelopathy and ataxia, known as "wobbler syndrome" and associated with loss of breeding value, reduced athletic potential and euthanasia. Some wobblers have osteochondrosis of their vertebral facet joints, but it is now known how this relates to …

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global health threat. The WHO global action plan on AMR mentions LA-MRSA (Livestock-associated Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus) that is prevalent in pigs in many countries. The public health threat is generally low but for affected individuals it is a …

Zinkoxid (ZnO) in feed prevents post weaning diarrhoea (PWD) and mortality in weaned piglets but, for environmental reasons, ZnO will be banned in the EU in 2022 despite that there remain herds that are dependent on the use of ZnO (or antibiotics) at weaning.
By metagenomic analysis (sequencing …

The ability of milk to coagulate is crucial for cheese production. We have previously shown high occurrence of non-coagulating milk from Swedish Red Dairy cattle and identified milk proteins as potential markers for this undesirable trait. In this project we will increase the understanding of the …
