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.

The role of liming in the crop rotation remains to be thoroughly investigated. Within two recent SLF projects, yield in sugar beet, barley and oil seed rape has been measured in the first rotation. In 2018, beets will be grown for a second time which gives us unique possibilities with the aim to …

Introduction of African swine fever to Sweden would be devastating for the national pig industry. Infected wild boar are considered the most likely route of introduction to Swedish domestic pigs and preventive measures are needed. Knowledge of how infection from wild boar to pigs can be prevented, …

The aim of the project is to develop tools which can be used for individually adapted lactation lengths based on the biological conditions of the cow. Today a one year calving interval and a short lactation period, is recommended. The recommendations are based on 30 years old information and do not …

During recent decades the area with brushwood has increased in the Swedish rural landscape. A study has shown that the annual harvest of brushwood for fuel purposes could amount to about 6 TWh. Some advantages with the utilization of brushwood as fuel are that the growth areas do not compete with …

Brachyspira pilosicoli causes spirochetal diarrhea resulting in reduced growth and great economic losses in pig herds. The disease is treated with antibiotics but today we see an increased incidence of antibiotic resistance in the bacteria, which may lead to difficulties to treat the disease in the …
