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.

Disease and production disturbances in a herd are often silent, and may cause major losses if they remain undetected. Continuous analysis and monitoring of data already recorded at the farm level can improve profitability. This project will develop methods for monitoring trends in production and …

The aim of the project is to study effects of LED-light on milk production and activity in dairy cows. The main hypotheses are that LED light allows maintained cow activity and milk production with less energy used for illumination, and that LED-light makes it possible to apply a dark period during …

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 …

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 …
