A primary reason for unhealthy legs and claws are unsuitable floor properties in dairy houses,
which may result in slippery floors and slip injuries to cows and mastitis.
The hygiene of a floor surface and floor properties affect the cow claw/floor interaction and gait.
The aim is to determine an objective measuring methodology that characterises a floor system through gait analysis.
Concrete and rubber floors will be characterized through gait analysis at 10 farms at 3 cleanliness levels.
In the test aisle floor cleanliness level, friction, softness and abrasiveness will be tested at 2 locations.
A digital video camera will be used for gait analysis.
The floor cleanliness will be determined by a colorimetric method and the floor physical properties by physical methods.
The statistical analysis will examine differences in how the 4 factors affect cow gait at 3 cleanliness levels
and between floor materials, resulting in thresholds for floor design and published in a scientific paper.
Ben- och klövskador är ett dominerande problem vid mjölkkostallar. En allvarlig klövskada kostar ca 5300 SEK/ko.
Golvytans egenskaper samt hygien påverkar hur säkert kon går på golvet.
Projektet avser att ta fram en provningsmetodik som kan beskriva hur golvmaterialens egenskaper påverkar kornas gång.
Målet är att förbättra befintliga golv och ta fram krav på nya golvmaterial
som bättre uppfyller kraven på golvhygien, friktion och gåbarhet för kor.
Gånganalys utförs vid vardera 10 gårdar med helt betonggolv respektive gummigolv vid 3 olika hygiennivåer.
På gångbanan mäts golvets renhet, friktion, mjukhet och ytråhet på 2 provytor.
Gånganalys utförs med digital videokamera samt gånganalysprogram.
Golvets hygien utvärderas med kolorimetrisk metod samt friktion, hårdhet och ytråhet med fysikaliska metoder.
Statistisk bearbetning visar hur dessa 4 faktorer inverkar på golvets gårbarhet och ger gränsvärden
för utformning av golv med säker gång. Resultaten publiceras i vetenskaplig artikel.

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 …

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 …

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 …
