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.

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 …

Just going to the bathroom is contributing to algae blooms and climate change. Sweden alone releases roughly 15400 tonnes of N and 240 tonnes of P into lakes, rivers and seas, through municipal wastewater (including after treatment). Urine contains 80% of the plant nutrients found in wastewater and …

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 …
