The aim of the project is to develop tools which can be used for individually adapted lactation lengths based on the biological conditions of the cow. Today a one year calving interval and a short lactation period, is recommended. The recommendations are based on 30 years old information and do not take into account individual variations between cows. In this project 20 large dairy herds will be included. We will gain information from the individual cows in each herd related to milk yield, fertility and health and validate the tools as predictors of cows which benefit from an extended lactation. We will test the tools by selecting primiparous cows based on the developed predictive tools. We will create genomic breeding values which can be used to identify cows which benefit for an extended lactation. We envision that farmers who adopt the concept of individually adapted lactation lengths will experience better health and welfare, fertility and productivity in their herds.
Syftet med projektet är att utveckla verktyg som gör att man individuellt anpassa laktationens längd hos kor beroende på deras biologiska förutsättningar. Rådgivningen i dag förespråkar ett kalvningsintervall på 12 månader. De beräkningar som rådgivningen grundas på är 30 år gamla och förutsättningarna idag är annorlunda. De beräkningarna tar inte hänsyn till de stora variationerna mellan kor avseende ämnesomsättning och mjölkavkastning. Vi att samarbeta med 20 mjölkkobesättningar och studera individanpassade laktationslängder hos förstakalvare i besättningarna. Syftet är att utveckla och verifiera ett koncept för individuellt anpassad laktationslängd baserat på information främst från mjölk. Vi kommer också att skapa genomiska avelsvärden för att identifiera kor som passar för en längre laktation. Resultaten kommer att bidra till en ökad lönsamhet och bättre djurhälsa och fruktsamhet i de besättningar som använder de nya verktygen.

Digitization in agriculture sweeps like a tsunami over Swedish agriculture. Knowledge of its components and, above all, the profitability of investing in digitization is very low. The purpose of the project is to hold a competition in digitizing plant cultivation. The competition will be carried …

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 …

Insulin dysregulation (ID), a condition with excessive hyperinsulinemia, is the most common cause of laminitis in the horse. Insulin dysregulation is a core component of equine metabolic syndrome. Management strategies for ID include feeding diets low in non-structural carbohydrates, but excessive …
