The overall aim of this project is to improve equine health and welfare by identifying causative mutations for inherited diseases to aid informed breeding of healthy horses. We will use a comparative genomics approach, combining whole-genome sequencing (WGS) and bioinformatics with state-of-the-art clinical diagnosis of disease phenotypes. In the project a general framework for mutation-detection of equine monogenetic diseases will be developed. The initial focus will be on anophthalmia and microphthalmia, potentially autosomal recessive disease/s, recently observed among Swedish Warmblood horses. The objectives of the study are to:
1. clinically define monogenic diseases with autosomal recessive inheritance,
2. develop a general framework for identifying disease causing mutation with a bioinformatics pipeline for whole-genome sequencing,
3. develop a plan for breeding advise in different scenarios of inheritance patterns, and severity of the disease.
Det övergripande målet med detta projekt är att förbättra hästens hälsa och välfärd genom att identifiera orsaken till ärftliga sjukdomar och att stödja en kunskapsbaserad uppfödning av friska hästar. Vi kommer att kombinera helgenomsekvenser (WGS) och bioinformatik med kliniska diagnoser av sjukdomsfenotypen. I projektet kommer en generell “pipeline” för mutationsdetektering av monogena sjukdomar hos häst att utvecklas. Initial kommer fokus att ligga på anoftalmi och mikroftalmi, potentiellt autosomal recessiv sjukdomar, som nyligen observerats bland svenska varmblodshästar (SWB). Syftet med studien är att:
1. kliniskt definiera monogena sjukdomar med autosomalt recessivt arv,
2. utveckla en “pipeline” för att identifiera sjukdomsframkallande mutationer med bioinformatik och helgenomsekvensering,
3. Utveckla en plan för avelsrådgivning i olika scenarier av arvsmönster och svårighetsgrad av sjukdom.

Applying circular economy principles to agriculture is a systematic approach to reduce the environmental and climate impact of agriculture while increasing efficiency, production and profitability. The road to circular agriculture requires that we 1) minimize external inputs, 2) reduce losses and …

Achieving and maintaining a good stable climate with low ammonia levels is a major challenge for many poultry farmers. In addition to adversely affecting animal health, production and the working environment, high levels of ammonia in the stable can also lead to increased environmental impact. The …

Every year, about 500,000 claw trimmings are recorded in Swedish dairy cattle. The aim of claw trimming is to detect, treat and prevent painful claw lesions. However, the claw trimming in itself can be harmful and cause claw lesions if it is not done correctly. The aim of the project is to develop …
