This interdisciplinary project examines how Swedish dairy farmers, given different types of policy instruments, are affected by the ongoing structural transformation in the primary production. The study will improve our understanding about how the ongoing structural change affects profitability in smaller and larger dairy herds, how it affects biodiversity, landscape features and emissions, and how farm profitability is affected by different types of policies. These aspects are crucial for the Swedish model with added value linked to the environment and to animal welfare. In the project we address the following research questions: 1) What explains differences in profitability between dairy farmers? 2) How does the structural change affect a) profitability in smaller and larger dairy farms, b) biodiversity and landscape features in different regions, and c) emissions of greenhouse gases and nutrients? 3) How is Swedish milk production affected by different types of policy instruments?
Detta tvärvetenskapliga projekt undersöker hur svenska mjölkbesättningar påverkas av den pågående strukturomvandlingen i primärproduktionen givet olika typer av stöd. Vårt mål är att fördjupa kunskapen om hur den pågående strukturomvandlingen påverkar lönsamhet i mindre och större mjölkbesättningar, öka kunskapen om hur omvandlingen påverkar biologisk mångfald, landskapsbild och utsläpp samt hur lönsamheten påverkas av olika typer av stöd. Dessa aspekter är centrala för att långsiktigt kunna driva den svenska modellen med mervärden kopplade till miljön och djurvälfärd. I projektet adresserar vi följande forskningsfrågor:
1) Vad förklarar skillnaderna i lönsamhet mellan mjölkbesättningar?
2) Hur påverkar strukturomvandlingen inom svensk mjölkproduktion a) lönsamhet i mindre och större mjölkbesättningar, b) den biologiska mångfalden och landskapsbilden i olika regioner, samt c) utsläppen av växthusgaser och näringsämnen?
3) Hur påverkas svensk mjölkproduktion av olika typer av stöd?

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 …

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 …

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, …

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 …

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 …

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 …
