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.

Colibacillosis is a common disease in poultry and includes both local and systemic infections. Increased knowledge is necessary for development of effective methods to prevent disease, such as improved management routines, modification of environment, and vaccine development. The first study (WP1) …

A major challenge facing agriculture is handling water excess and deficit exacerbated by climate change, while reducing eutrophication. Controlled drainage (CD) has the potential to address these issues and improve yield stability. Despite CDs clear benefits and state subsidies for CD installation, …

The goal with this project is to increase the profitability and production efficiency on Swedish dairy farms by renewing
the genetic evaluation of the breeding value of temperament in dairy cows. We want to investigate if automatic
recordings of behaviour using SLU Gigacow on farm level can improve …

To grow with reduced use of glyphosate is of great concern driven by the requirements for integrated pest management, the risk of herbicide resistance and a potential coming ban on glyphosate. It requires balancing between environmental effects and impact on yield and economy. The project's goal is …

We need to remediate the capacity of agricultural landscapes to retain water, nutrients and sediments to make them
more resilient to the increasing frequency of flooding, drought and pollution expected with the climate change. It can

It is well known that storage of animal manure and digestate causes emissions of methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O) and ammonia (NH3). A crust on liquid manure acts both as a physical barrier for NH3 and as a biofilter that oxidize CH4 and NH3. However, N2O can be formed in some crusts, and there …
