Mastitis (udder inflammation) is the most costly disease among dairy cows. Swedish studies show that first parity cows often have udder infections and mastitis at calving, which may have considerable negative effects on their milk production and longevity, but that the prevalence varies among farms. The long-term aim is therefore to increase milk production, and improve milk quality and longevity of first parity cows by preventing udder health problems before and at calving. Specific aims are to identify 1) prevalence of different milk somatic cell count patterns in newly calved heifers in Swedish dairy farms, 2) management and housing factors before and at calving that reduce the risk for poor udder health in newly calved heifers, 3) associations between bacterial prevalence on udder skin during different periods of heifer rearing and udder infections at calving, and 4) practical advice that will promote good udder health in newly calved heifers and spread these to interested parties.
Mastit (juverinflammation) är den mest kostsamma sjukdomen bland mjölkkor. Enligt svenska studier är det vanligt att kvigor kalvar in med juverinfektion och mastit, vilket kan leda till avsevärda negativa konsekvenser för deras mjölkproduktion och hållbarhet, men att förekomsten varierar mellan besättningar. Projektets långsiktiga syfte är därför att öka mjölkproduktionen och förbättra mjölkens kvalité som livsmedel samt att öka hållbarheten hos förstakalvarna genom att förebygga juverhälsoproblem före och vid kalvning. De specifika målen är att identifiera 1) förekomst av olika mjölkcelltalsmönster hos nykalvade kvigor i svenska besättningar, 2) skötsel- och inhysningsfaktorer före och vid kalvning som minskar risken för dålig juverhälsa hos nykalvade kvigor, 3) samband mellan bakterieförekomst på juvret under kvigans uppväxt och juverinfektioner hos nykalvade kvigor och 4) praktiska råd som ger god juverhälsa hos nykalvade kvigor och sprida dessa till olika intressenter.

The goal of the project is to digitize the data from the Swedish official field trials through automated estimates of important traits such as germination, growth, resistance, maturity and the effect of plant protection products. The purpose is to streamline and improve scoring of both diseases but …

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 …

A cornerstone of the Swedish Food Strategy is trust in Swedish food production. Yet each year Swedish farmers and food processors lose both money and trust due to food fraud, especially for non-Swedish meat relabelled as Swedish. Most fraud remains undetected. A recent analytical development, Rapid …

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 …

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, …

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 …

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 …
