Zinkoxid (ZnO) in feed prevents post weaning diarrhoea (PWD) and mortality in weaned piglets but, for environmental reasons, ZnO will be banned in the EU in 2022 despite that there remain herds that are dependent on the use of ZnO (or antibiotics) at weaning.
By metagenomic analysis (sequencing the 16S-gene), we aim to develop an objective method to describe the stability of the intestinal microbiota. The aim thereafter will be to identify the efficacy of measures undertaken to enable weaning in absence of PWD. Such measures include management strategies, feeding strategies and feed recipes, which will be documented in 60 herds that phase out the use of ZnO ahead of 2022. Measures undertaken that appear to be successful in preventing PWD and stabilise the intestinal microbiota will be defined and documented. In the next step, information about such measures of success will be described and presented to stakeholders ahead of the ban of ZnO in 2022.
Zinkoxid (ZnO) i avvänjningsfoder minskar diarré och dödlighet bland smågrisar, men ZnO kommer av miljöskäl att förbjudas 2022 trots att det finns besättningar som är beroende av ZnO (eller antibiotika) vid avvänjningen.
Med metagenomik (sekvensering av delar av 16S-genen) avser vi att utveckla en effektiv metod att objektivt bedöma tarmflorans stabilitet. Målsättningen därefter är att identifiera åtgärder som optimerar stabiliteten i tarmfloran kring avvänjning. Bland sådana åtgärder ingår managementsstrategier, utfodringsstrategier och foderrecept, vilka kommer att följas i 60 besättningar som frivilligt fasar ut ZnO-användningen i förtid.
Åtgärder som visar sig effektiva vad gäller förebyggande av avvänjningsdiarré och stabilisering av tarmfloran i samband med avvänjning kommer därigenom att identifieras och dokumenteras. I ett nästa steg kommer information om sådana positiva åtgärder/insatser att spridas till andra lantbrukare.

A major challenge facing agriculture is handling water excess and deficit exacerbated by climate change, while reducing eutrophication. Controlled drainage (CD) has the potential to address these issues and improve yield stability. Despite CDs clear benefits and state subsidies for CD installation, …

The goal with this project is to increase the profitability and production efficiency on Swedish dairy farms by renewing
the genetic evaluation of the breeding value of temperament in dairy cows. We want to investigate if automatic
recordings of behaviour using SLU Gigacow on farm level can improve …

To grow with reduced use of glyphosate is of great concern driven by the requirements for integrated pest management, the risk of herbicide resistance and a potential coming ban on glyphosate. It requires balancing between environmental effects and impact on yield and economy. The project's goal is …

This project aims to create a popular scientific review of the use of leys for livestock. Target groups are the agricultural
sector and industry. The project has five work packages (WP); administration, crop production, harvest and
conservation, feed value for different animals, and economy. The …

In modern large-scale pig production, first-rate hygienic conditions are necessary to avoid outbreaks of diseases and promote and maintain a good biosecurity, However, evaluation of pen hygiene is highly subjective. The project aims to adapt and evaluate a new method for the standardised measure of …

We need to remediate the capacity of agricultural landscapes to retain water, nutrients and sediments to make them
more resilient to the increasing frequency of flooding, drought and pollution expected with the climate change. It can
be done by remediating existing narrow ditches into ditches with …
