Heat stress is expected to be of major concern in Swedish animal production systems in the future. The air temperatures in parts of Sweden are expected to correspond to today's temperatures in southern Europe, where livestock experience heat stress today. Excessive thermal load affects the welfare and health of pigs negatively. Confined pigs have limited physiological and behavioural abilities to loose heat. In an effort to loose heat during warmer periods pigs often choose to lay on the cooler slatted floor resulting in pen fouling, increased workload, disturbance of the pigs' resting behaviour and increased agonistic behaviours. Pen fouling also has negative impacts on the air quality (ammonia, airborne bacteria and respirable particles). Floor cooling in pens for fattening pigs has the potential to enhance the thermal and gaseous environment in the fattening pig barns resulting in improved pig welfare, performance and health as well as the working environment.
Värmestress förväntas bli ett stort problem inom svensk animalieproduktion i framtiden. Lufttemperaturerna i delar av Sverige förväntas motsvara dagens temperaturer i södra Europa där produktionsdjur upplever värmestress idag. Bl.a. påverkar alltför hög värmebelastning grisars välfärd och hälsa negativt. Inhysta grisar har begränsade fysiologiska och beteendemässiga möjligheter att göra sig av med överskottsvärme. Redan idag väljer ofta grisarna att lägga sig på det svalare spaltgolvet under varma perioder. Detta leder till nedsmutsning av boxarna, ökad arbetsbelastning, störning av grisarnas vilobeteende och ökade agonistiska beteenden. Smutsiga boxgolv har även en negativ inverkan på stallmiljön som påverkar grisarnas hälsa samt arbetsmiljön negativt. Golvkylning i boxar till slaktsvin har potential att förbättra den termiska och gasformiga miljön i slaktsvinsavdelningar som i sin tur leder till förbättrad djurvälfärd, produktion och hälsa likväl som förbättrad arbetsmiljö.

We aim to continue an ongoing study to increase knowledge of cattle locomotion on different floors, how they work in practice and what the long term consequences are for welfare and for farmers´ economy. For that purpose advanced biomechanical methods will be used to assess dairy cows´ …

The aim of the project is to develop tools which can be used for individually adapted lactation lengths based on the biological conditions of the cow. Today a one year calving interval and a short lactation period, is recommended. The recommendations are based on 30 years old information and do not …

Free living nematodes (FLN) and root-knot nematodes (RKN) are increasing problems in root and tuber crops such as potato, sugar beet and carrot. There is a need for effective sanitation techniques and tolerant crops/varieties to keep population levels low in the rotation. Recently, the severe …

The role of liming in the crop rotation remains to be thoroughly investigated. Within two recent SLF projects, yield in sugar beet, barley and oil seed rape has been measured in the first rotation. In 2018, beets will be grown for a second time which gives us unique possibilities with the aim to …

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, …

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 …

Swedish strawberry production suffers from several severe insect pests. When usage of traditional insecticides is phased out and IPM implemented novel green methods for pest control are urgently needed. The strawberry tortricid, Acleris comariana, is a severe pest on strawberries. Its larvae feed …

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 …

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 …
