The project aims are to use the information about cow's DNA profile to estimate the severity of fertility problems caused by specific genetic defects in the Swedish Red (SRB) and Holstein dairy breeds, and to estimate the economic impact of pregnancy losses caused by these genetic defects. Our goal is that the increased knowledge of known genetic defects will provide a more reliable basis for avoiding matings between carriers of specific defects, as well as to enable a selection against the causative haplotypes in practical cattle breeding and thus strengthen the dairy industry's competitiveness, sustainability and public perception. The project is an in-depth study within the ongoing SLF-funded Swedish part of the Nordic fertility project. We will work with the already collected material, augmented by Växa’s cow database and genotypes. Research funding is intended to finance the last two years of a PhD for the licentiate student within the project, Patricia Ask-Gullstrand.
Projektets syfte är att använda information om kornas DNA-profil för att skatta hur stora fruktsamhetsproblem som specifika genetiska defekter hos SRB och holstein orsakar. Vi kommer att göra en uppskattning av de ekonomiska konsekvenserna av dräktighetsförlusterna som de olika genetiska defekterna ger. Målet är att den ökade kunskapen om kända genetiska defekter ska ge ett säkrare underlag för att undvika parningar mellan bärare av defekterna, samt möjliggöra en selektion mot de bakomliggande haplotyperna som kan tillämpas i praktisk avelsvärdering. På så sätt kan såväl konkurrenskraft, hållbarhet som konsumenternas förtroende för mjölknäringen stärkas. Projektet är en fördjupad studie inom den SLF-finansierade svenska delen av det Nordiska fruktsamhetsprojektet. Vi kommer att arbeta med redan insamlat material, utökat med Växas kodatabas och genotyper. Forskningsmedlen ska finansiera de två sista åren av en doktorsexamen för licentianden inom projektet, Patricia Ask-Gullstrand.

The conversion into a bio-based economy in Sweden requires a broad range of initiatives. One of the challenges is that additional sources of biomass will be needed. High yield potential, low conversion and production costs are critical success factors for new raw material. Salix is an energy crop …

The sensory attributes of the raw milk are of major importance for the quality of the resulting dairy products. Since the early 90’ies, the so-called “blueberry off-flavour” has caused severe economic consequences for affected dairy farmers. The mechanism behind is still unclear, although forages …

In the proposed project, we will explore the benefits of increasing the longevity of dairy cows under Swedish conditions by changes in herd management. We will focus on effects on methane emissions by modelling, using existing data from the Swedish Official Milk Recording Scheme and results from an …

Consumers appreciate onions in all kinds of cooking. Onions can be grown in Sweden with good results. Onions can be stored for a long period. There is a potential to increase the self-sufficiency in onions. To achieve this, a better knowledge of long-term-storage potential indicator factors that …

Conventional technology is virtually unable to measure complete GHG budgets of drained organic soils, which may provide misleading results. So, global estimates of GHG emissions are based on coarse assumptions that don’t take into account the complexity of agroecosystems. Better data are needed for …

All horses grazing freely are at risk of parasitic diseases. Due to a growing problem with drug resistance in parasites, there is a need to improve the diagnostic methods. One important problem with today's situation is that one diagnostic procedure costs significantly more than one treatment, both …

We work with the vision that it possible to reduce herbicide use and completely abandon glyphosate in reduced and no-till systems by promoting soil health and crop vigour through a diverse crop rotation, cover crops and mechanical weed control. In field experiments, we compare innovative glyphosate …

Climate change has brought about changing conditions for agriculture. In recent years precipitation deficit during the growing season has led to a shortage of forage in Sweden. During dry years, irrigation is necessary to achieve optimal yields. In addition, irrigation can bring about positive …
