Respiratory conditions is a growing issue in the equine industry and for horse welfare. Equine asthma is characterised by airway obstruction, chronic intermittent cough and mucus accumulation an impact the quality of life for affected horses. Similar to its human equivalent, equine asthma is a heterogeneous complex disease that is associated with both genetic and environmental factors. Despite extensive research the inflammatory processes underlying equine asthma remain incompletely defined. Hence, novel research strategies which lead to improved understanding of the cellular processes implicated in the disease is of importance. Here we propose to establish single cell transcriptomics for studying equine asthma at the level of individual cells and to create a comprehensive atlas of the cellular landscape in the airways of horses in health and disease. Ultimately this will lead to detection of new biomarkers, improved stratification of disease and more individualised therapy
Inflammatorisk luftvägssjukdom är en av de vanligaste orsakerna till nedsatt prestation hos hästar. Hästens astma karaktäriseras av varierande grad av återkommande hosta, andningsvårigheter och ökad slemproduktion i luftvägarna och påverkar hästens livskvalitet. I likhet med human astma är hästens astma en heterogen och komplex sjukdom som kan associeras med både miljöfaktorer och genetiska faktorer. Trots omfattande forskning så är faktorerna bakom hästens astma till stora delar okänd. Det är därför önskvärt med nya metoder och strategier för att fördjupa kunskapen om de sjukdomspecifika cellulära och inflammatoriska processerna. I detta projekt ska vi använda transkriptomanalys i enskilda celler för att karaktärisera celler i luftvägarna hos hästar diagnostiserade med astma. Förhoppningen är att denna metod ska kunna användas som ett verktyg för att finna biomarkörer, förbättra sjukdomsklassificering och i förlängningen leda till mer individualiserad behandling.

The overall objective of this project is to create milk biomarkers based on specific milk fatty acids for identification of cows with reproductive disorders and metabolic disturbances. Milk will be analysed by Fourier-transform mid-infrared technology. An important value of this project for the …

Competing unshod is an important issue for the Swedish harness industry. There is a general opinion that performance may increase significantly but it does not always work. The reason for failure may be disturbed locomotion “balance” of the horse or due to pain from the hooves. This is obviously …

Resistance to anthelmintic drugs is a threat to equine welfare. Like antibiotics, is restrictive use of anthelmintics necessary to retain their effectivity. Thus, targeted selective treatment, based on individual deworming, was introduced a decade ago. However, we have shown that the prevalence of, …

A cornerstone of the Swedish Food Strategy is trust in Swedish food production. Yet each year Swedish farmers and food processors lose both money and trust due to food fraud, especially for non-Swedish meat relabelled as Swedish. Most fraud remains undetected. A recent analytical development, Rapid …

The purpose of this project is to define the amount of slaked lime needed for a given clay soil. We hypothesise that the amount of slaked lime needed for minimal phophorus loss is dependent on the clay content of the soil. The study will be conducted in a field with a drainage system and measuring …

Wheat bran is the largest by-product of wheat flour production with approximately 300,000 tonnes in Sweden. Bran is mainly used in animal feed, as human digestion is not fully able to absorb it. Wheat bran contains valuable biomolecules, such as dietary fiber (arabinoxylans, AX) and phenolic …

Acquired equine polyneuropathy (AEP) is a devastating neurologic disease affecting Nordic horses. Characteristic histopathological changes have been shown in the peripheral nerves of horses euthanized due to the disease. These include re- and demyelination as well as hypertrophy of perikaria and …

Increased production and export of products with high added values, e.g. long-ripened hard cheeses, are considered important steps for a positive development of the Swedish dairy sector. Increased investment in Swedish premium cheese will, however, require increased volumes of high quality raw milk …

The aim of this project is to investigate individual differences in the rate of passage of feed, feed efficiency, microbial flora and methane production in cows with different ability to consume large proportion of roughage.
Our previous studies show that methane production differs between cows …
