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 the breeding value of temperament. The
results will be used by breeding companies to calculate if breeding on temperament can lead to a reduction of labour
costs, a better working environment and minimize the risk of early slaughter, loss of production and injuries on the
animals. To use temperament as a breeding component is important to lower the risk for work related injuries and
improve the working environment on dairy farms. Cows with a temperament tailored to their environment can also
decrease stress levels and improve animal welfare. This project is a collaboration between the Swedish University of
Agricultural Sciences and Växa Sverige.
Målet med den här studien är att förbättra lönsamheten och produktionseffektiviteten för svenska mjölkproducenter
genom att förnya avelsvärderingen för temperament hos mjölkkor. Vi vill undersöka om automatiska registreringar av
beteende med SLU Gigacow på gårdsnivå leder till bättre och säkrare avelsvärdering för kors temperament.
Resultaten förväntas bidra med underlag till avelsföretagen för att beräkna ifall avelsvärdering för temperament kan
minska arbetskostnaden på gården, leda till en förbättrad arbetsmiljö och minska risken för tidig utslagning,
produktionsbortfall och skador på djuren. Avel på temperament är en viktig komponent för att minska olycksrisken och
förbättra arbetsmiljön. Kor med ett temperament anpassat efter den miljö hon befinner sig i kan dessutom antas
uppleva mindre stress, vilket har en positiv effekt på djurvälfärden. Projektet kommer ske i samarbete mellan Sveriges
Lantbruksuniversitet och Växa Sverige.

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 …

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 …

It is well known that storage of animal manure and digestate causes emissions of methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O) and ammonia (NH3). A crust on liquid manure acts both as a physical barrier for NH3 and as a biofilter that oxidize CH4 and NH3. However, N2O can be formed in some crusts, and there …

Even if Sweden is historically regarded as a water-affluent country, lately sustainable water use and water circularity have become topics of high concern. Irrigation is dependent on high quality water resources, and the need for accessible water resources becomes stronger under exceptionally dry …

An improved strategy for agricultural drainage is important for both economic and environmental reasons. There are indications on environmental benefits of a good drainage but lack of studies that directly shows this. The aim of the project is to develop a basis for design recommendations for new …

Swedish biogas production is crucial to reach environmental and climate targets and manure represents a great potential, corresponding to ca 2,7 Twh. However, the production from manure-based facilities currently only reaches around ca 64 GWh. Due to the character of manure it is difficult to reach …

Poultry manure is commonly used as fertilizer for crop production, however, high nutrient contents and unbalanced nutrient ratios limit application rates and require larger land areas for spreading, driving up manure handling costs. Techniques for incineration and pyrolysis of biomass are …
