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 and milk quality. The aim of the project is to develop the use of RMS and create guidelines. The project will analyze the effect of using RMS on milk quality and animal health using data from 40 dairy farms and Swedish experiences from RMS by depth interviews on the farms. Bacteriological analysis of RMS from the farms will determine hygienic quality. Furthermore, controlled investigations on the effect of RMS and different treatments (after digestion in biogas plant, hygienized, added with acids or lime) on hygienic quality and ammonia emission will be done. In addition, methane gas potential of the manure, environmental and economical considerations at farm level will be evaluated.
Cirka 200 mjölkgårdar i Sverige använder gödselfiber som strömedel och intresset för tekniken ökar. Fördelarna med fiberströ är priset, tillgången är säker och det ger en bra kokomfort. Nackdelen är risk för tillväxt av bakterier på liggplatsen som kan ge försämrad juverhälsa och dålig mjölkkvalitet. Målet med projektet är att utveckla och fastställa rekommendationer för användning av fiberströ. Projektet avser att undersöka effekt på mjölkkvalité och djurhälsa
genom analys av data i kokontrollen från 40 mjölkkogårdar samt samla svenska erfarenheter från fiberströ till mjölkkor genom djupintervjuer hos gårdarna. Bakteriologisk analys av fiberströ från gårdarna görs för att bedöma den hygieniska kvalitén. Lab-försök görs för att undersöka hur rötning, hygienisering, syra eller kalk påverkar hygienisk kvalité och ammoniakavgång. Provrötning görs för att undersöka effekten av gödselfiber på gödselns metanpotential. Dessutom genomförs en ekonomisk utvärdering av gödselfiber som strö.

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 …

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 …
