The project aims to lay the foundation for genomic selection in Swedish beef cattle populations. Genomic selection has revolutionized animal breeding and much increased genetic progress in e.g. dairy cattle. Improved animal breeding increases production efficiency and genomic selection enables future selection for new traits related to e.g. beef quality and climate impact. We will establish Swedish reference populations for the two most common beef breeds by genotyping animals with pedigree and phenotypic information. We will develop a framework to estimate genomic enhanced breeding values based on these reference populations and single-step methods. We will also survey known genes of importance for qualitative traits (e.g. beef marbling) that should be included in selection. The project is expected to give a basis for future international collaborations both in research and for genetic evaluations, and to improve the competitiveness and profitability of Swedish beef producers.
Projektets syfte är att lägga grunden för genomisk selektion i svenska köttraspopulationer. Genomisk selektion har revolutionerat aveln och kraftigt ökat det genetiska framsteget i andra djurslag. Bättre djurmaterial ger effektivare produktion och genomisk selektion möjliggör framtida selektion för nya egenskaper, t.ex. kopplade till köttkvalitet och klimatpåverkan. Vi vill etablera svenska referenspopulationer för våra två vanligaste nötköttsraser genom att genotypa djur med härstamnings- och fenotypinformation. Målet är att skapa förutsättningar för att skatta genomiskt förstärkta avelsvärden baserat på dessa referenspopulationer och s.k. single-step metodik. Vi kommer även kartlägga kända gener som påverkar viktiga kvalitativa egenskaper (t.ex. marmorering) som bör inkluderas i selektionen. Projektet förväntas ge en bas för framtida internationellt forskningssamarbete och praktisk avelsvärdering, samt förbättra konkurrenskraft och lönsamhet för svenska nötköttsproducenter.

Insulin dysregulation (ID), a condition with excessive hyperinsulinemia, is the most common cause of laminitis in the horse. Insulin dysregulation is a core component of equine metabolic syndrome. Management strategies for ID include feeding diets low in non-structural carbohydrates, but excessive …

About 200 dairy farms in Sweden use recycled manure solids (RMS) as bedding material and the number is increasing. Advantages is low price, reliable availability and good cow comfort. The main disadvantage is the risk of increased bacterial growth on the lying area affecting especially udder health …

The project aims are to use the information about cow's DNA profile to estimate the severity of fertility problems caused by specific genetic defects in the Swedish Red (SRB) and Holstein dairy breeds, and to estimate the economic impact of pregnancy losses caused by these genetic defects. Our goal …

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 …

Feeding protein supplements is advantageous because of a positive response in milk production. Rapeseed meal has given better production responses on a protein basis than soybean meal, but its supply is not sufficient to meet the requirements of dairy production. Red clover is one alternative to …
