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.

Clubroot disease is a serious threat to OSR production in Sweden and genetic resistance is the most important factor in a cropping strategy. The aim is to develop a concept for integrated production of winter OSR supported by DNA technology. Infestation levels and yield of resistant and susceptible …

The aim of this project is to investigate individual differences in the rate of passage of feed, feed efficiency, microbial flora and methane production in cows with different ability to consume large proportion of roughage.
Our previous studies show that methane production differs between cows …

Knowledge of disease development in wheat is a prerequisite for good advice on economically and environmentally
adapted control strategies. This project is based on knowledge from a previous SLF project about molecular detection
and spore traps, which showed that the different spore traps catch …

We are facing a protein shift in which a portion of the animal based protein in our diet needs to be replaced by plant proteins to reduce the climate impact from the food sector. Many agricultural by-streams contain high value proteins not used to their full potential. We aim to recover proteins …

Disease and production disturbances in a herd are often silent, and may cause major losses if they remain undetected. Continuous analysis and monitoring of data already recorded at the farm level can improve profitability. This project will develop methods for monitoring trends in production and …

Correct assessment of hind limb lameness is a challenge, also for most experienced vets. This causes incorrect diagnoses and faulty treatment interventions which lead to unnecessary suffering for the horses and an unnecessary financial burden for owners and insurance companies. The aim of this …
