In modern large-scale pig production, first-rate hygienic conditions are necessary to avoid outbreaks of diseases and promote and maintain a good biosecurity, However, evaluation of pen hygiene is highly subjective. The project aims to adapt and evaluate a new method for the standardised measure of the "infectious load" on the pig pen floor, and evaluate the impact of various floor structures and cleaning and disinfection protocols. In WP 1) the retrieval rate following sampling will be evaluated by applying a standardized amount of bacteria on a completely clean floor structure suitable for pigs. In WP 2) possible residual infections will be measured on a similar floor in an ongoing pig production. Three cleaning protocols will be evaluated. In WP 3) the effect of selected, commonly used cleaning and disinfection protocols, and the interference from the floor structures on the pen hygiene, will be evaluated in a 3 x 3 design.
I modern, storskalig grisproduktion är en god hygien av stor betydelse för att undvika sjukdomsutbrott och främja och bibehålla en god biosäkerhet. Bedömningen av vad som är en god hygien är dock helt subjektiv. Projektets syfte är att anpassa och utvärdera en ny metod för att mäta "smittrycket" i en grisbox på ett standardiserat sätt och därefter utvärdera hur olika golvstrukturer, rengörings- och desinfektionsprotokoll påverkar den s.k. residualsmittan. I WP 1) skall metodens mätfel bestämmas genom att mäta en känd mängd bakterier applicerade på en ren golvyta. I WP 2) skall förekomsten av residualsmitta bedömas genom att på samma sätt mäta "smittrycket" på ett liknande golv vid användning i en grisbesättning. Tre olika protokoll för rengöring skall valideras. I WP 3) skall betydelsen av olika golvtyper, rengörings- och desinfektionsprotokoll valideras i en 3 x 3 design.

Harness racing is hazardous as horses are running in close proximity at high speeds. Thus, an effective communication between driver and jockey-horse via rein signals to the bit is essential for safety reasons and horse welfare. However, scientific studies on rein tension in Standardbred trotters …

Just going to the bathroom is contributing to algae blooms and climate change. Sweden alone releases roughly 15400 tonnes of N and 240 tonnes of P into lakes, rivers and seas, through municipal wastewater (including after treatment). Urine contains 80% of the plant nutrients found in wastewater and …

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 …

Poultry have a strong motivation for foraging and spend most of the day pecking and searching for food. In commercial conditions, the birds are fed a pellet diet, which is consumed very quickly. Consequently, hens spend a large part of the day engaging in abnormal non-food related pecking …

This application aims at finding a solution to a problem that exists in greenhouse production. Greenhouses have long been considered to be closed systems with no leakage to the surrounding environment. However, it has been shown that plant protection products (PPP) are found in the environment …

This project is about refining grass to meet a demand for proteins for, above all, organic poultry production and an expected increased demand for soy-free feed solutions for monogastric animals. Forage-based products also improve the economic preconditions to increase the proportion of grass in …

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 …
