The aim is to get basic data for testing impact energy resistance of stable fittings and building elements. The goal is to quantify potential impact energy of horse kicks in order to elucidate the implication of “sufficient strength to resist horse kicks”, which is a demand for stable fitting material by law. To make the demand clear serves authorities, horse keepers, stable fitting manufacturers and it might reduce the risk of injuries of stabled horses.
Measuring hoof velocity changes during a kick will be done with the help of accelerometer with gyroscope fixed on the rear hoof. Horses used, standardbreds and thoroughbreds, are provoked to kick out. Impact energy will be calculated based upon earlier results about impact forces and impulses of horse kicks.
The results will be published in scientific press and as summary in Swedish, accessible on internet to download freely. The results will be used in order to work out a test method and equipment within Swedish Standards Inst.
Syftet är att få underlag för testning av konstruktioners förmåga att motstå stötförlopp motsvarande belastningen från en reell
hästspark. Målet är att kvantifiera hästsparkas potentiella stötenergi för att klargöra vad djurskyddsföreskriftens krav på att hästboxar ska ha ” tillräcklig hållfasthet för att stå emot hästsparkar” innebär, vilket är till nytta för myndigheter, hästhållare och tillverkare, och i förlängningen, torde minska hästars skador och lidande i samband med inhysning.
Mätning av hovens hastighet (hastighetsförändringar) under spark sker med hjälp av accelerometer med gyroskop fäst på bakhov. Använda hästar, halv- och fullblod, provoceras till att sparka bakut. Med hjälp av tidigare framkomna stötkrafter och impulser vid spark mot mätvägg beräknas anslagsenergier.
Resultaten publiceras i vetenskaplig press, samt en sammanställning görs på svenska som läggs ut för fri nedladdning via SLU. Resultaten kommer att användas för att utarbeta en testmetod inom ramen för SIS.

Heat stress is expected to be of major concern in Swedish animal production systems in the future. The air temperatures in parts of Sweden are expected to correspond to today's temperatures in southern Europe, where livestock experience heat stress today. Excessive thermal load affects the welfare …

Poultry have a strong motivation for foraging and spend most of the day pecking and searching for food. In commercial conditions, the birds are fed a pellet diet, which is consumed very quickly. Consequently, hens spend a large part of the day engaging in abnormal non-food related pecking …

The carbon footprint for ruminants is high compared to other food products of animal origin but grazing animals such
as beef and lamb have other positive effects on the environment such as increased biodiversity and carbon
sequestration. Beef- and lamb producers need clear guidelines on how to …

Viral infections of horses have significant impact on animal welfare and can lead to huge economic losses. One of the first early signs of a viral infection is the development of fever and to at this early step be able to identify the agent behind the infection would lead to rapid and correct …
