Farmers with animal production can experience different types of criticisms directed against their activities from consumers, the media and inspecting government agencies. On another level, criminal acts are directed against the farm's activities and people on the farm, The main goal is to investigate the nature of the experiences of victimization materialized as threats, crimes and criticism against animal production in Sweden. This is achieved by assessing the consequences for individuals and farms, health, social and economic conditions. We focus on farmers not as ‘victims’ but rather as ‘active agents’, by illustrating ways that farmers handle, cope and respond to the criticisms and threats. Interviews with farmers, focus groups as well as official statistics and media coverage will underlie the methodology of this study. Findings will lead to an action plan with concrete proposals on what measures are needed to create a better quality of life for animal producing farmers.
Lantbrukare med djurproduktion kan uppleva olika typer av kritik mot sin verksamhet via media och inspekterande myndigheter. På en annan nivå kan det ske hot, skadegörelse och andra kriminella handlingar riktade mot verksamheten, men också mot företagaren, familjemedlemmar och anställda. Huvudmålet för studien är att undersöka lantbrukarnas erfarenheter av hot, brott och kritik mot djurproduktion i Sverige. Detta uppnås genom att bedöma konsekvenserna för individer och verksamheter, hälsa, sociala och ekonomiska förhållanden. Vi fokuserar på lantbrukarna, inte som "offer" utan snarare som "aktiva agenter" genom att illustrera de sätt som lantbrukare hanterar och agerar på den kritik och hot de utsätts för. Intervjuer, fokusgrupper, officiell statistik samt mediabevakning kommer att ligga till grund för metodiken i denna studie. Resultaten omsätts i en handlingsplan med konkreta förslag om vilka åtgärder som behövs för att skapa en bättre livskvalitet för djurproducerande lantbrukare.

The purpose of this project is to identify the transmission routes for Campylobacter to broiler flocks and recommend actions at farm level to reduce the number of chickens with Campylobacter. Furthermore, to analyse routines at slaughter including cleaning of slaughterhouses and transport crates to …

The root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne hapla, is an increasing problem in carrot cultivation in Sweden and Europe. Soil analysis is extremely important to plan sustainable crop rotations, reduce nematode multiplication in soil and eventually minimize yield loss. Traditional soil analyses are time …

Correct assessment of hind limb lameness is a challenge, also for most experienced vets. This causes incorrect diagnoses and faulty treatment interventions which lead to unnecessary suffering for the horses and an unnecessary financial burden for owners and insurance companies. The aim of this …

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 …

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 …

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 …
