Slippery floors results in falls and injuries which can be fatal. Moreover, on dairy farms slippery floors impede oestrus behaviour and ease of heat detection and as result cause economical losses due to impaired fertility. Grooving is the most common way to treat concrete floors to reduce slipperiness. This study aims to evaluate the effect of grooving of concrete walkways on the slipping risk of cattle. For that purpose the project aims to develop a state of the art, animal-oriented model for assessment of slipping. Most informative movement parameters associated with animal manoeuvrability on a slippery surface will be established from inertial sensors and 3D movements of the cow using multiple high-speed video cameras and reflective markers in a locomotion laboratory. The best adaptable model from the locomotion laboratory will then be used to test cows on dairy farms before and after longitudinal or diamond pattern grooving the walkway surfaces.
Halkiga golv ökar risken för fallolyckor med fläckning och andra traumatiska skador som kan vara fatala. I mjölkbesättningar påverkar halkiga golv kornas brunstbeteende vilket gör det svårare att upptäcka brunst vilket i sin tur leder till sämre fertilitet. Det vanligaste sättet att minska halkighet och öka gångsäkerheten på betonggolv är att rilla golvet. Denna studie avser att undersöka hur rillning av betonggolv påverkar nötkreaturs risk för att halka. För att bedöma halkrisken på olika underlag kommer en högteknologisk djurmodell att utvecklas. De viktigaste parametrarna som kan relateras till kons sätt att röra sig på halkiga underlag identifieras med hjälp av sensorteknik samt med 3D teknik och höghastighetsfilming i ett rörelselabb sedan kon försetts med reflekterande markörer. Den mest fältanpassade modellen från rörelselabbet kommer därefter att användas för att testa kor i bruksbesättningar före och efter att golven har rillats longitudinellt eller med diamantmönster.

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 …

Acquired equine polyneuropathy (AEP) is a devastating neurologic disease affecting Nordic horses. Characteristic histopathological changes have been shown in the peripheral nerves of horses euthanized due to the disease. These include re- and demyelination as well as hypertrophy of perikaria and …

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 …
