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.

Conventional production of meat-type chickens in Sweden is characterized by high bio-security and low use of antibiotics. Still, there are indications of variations in day old chick quality causing economic losses in terms of variations in growth and increased condemnation at slaughter. The aim of …

A primary reason for unhealthy legs and claws are unsuitable floor properties in dairy houses,
which may result in slippery floors and slip injuries to cows and mastitis.
The hygiene of a floor surface and floor properties affect the cow claw/floor interaction and gait.

During the last decade, neonatal porcine diarrhoea (NPD) has become an increased problem in Swedish herds. Clostridium (C.) perfringens type A (CpA) and C. difficile (Cd) have been highlighted as causes of NPD but their importance has also been questioned. We have previously demonstrated that CpA …
