The alarming development of triple resistant Parascaris spp. is an increasing threat to foal health and the equine industry, due to the risk of increasing veterinary costs and loss of foals. A continued development of triple resistant roundworms in Sweden would be devastating for foals and breeders. It is therefore of uttermost importance to gain more knowledge about anthelmintic resistance and to develop tests to detect resistant parasites. The aims of this project are to 1) evaluate the spread of resistance to the substance fenbendazole (Axilur®) in foals in Sweden 2) identify markers for detection of resistance and development of a method for rapid detection of resistant parasites 3) develop an in vitro method for study of drug resistance and screening of new drug candidates. The results from this project will be used to monitor further development of resistance and be included in new sustainable parasitic control guidelines.
Spolmaskens utveckling av resistens mot alla tillgängliga avmaskningsmedel är ett växande hot mot föls hälsa, men även ett ekonomiskt problem för hästuppfödare pga. risken för ökade veterinärkostnader och förlust av föl. En fortsatt utbredning av trippelresistenta spolmaskar i Sverige skulle vara förödande för föl och hästuppfödare. Det är därför av största vikt att få mer kunskap om läkemedelsresistens samt att ta fram tester för detektion av resistenta parasiter. Syftet med detta projekt är att 1) utvärdera hur utbredd resistens mot substansen fenbendazol (Axilur®) är i Sverige 2) identifiera markörer och utveckla en metod för detektion av resistens som kan användas i parasitkontrollprogram 3) utveckla en in vitro-metod för vidare studier av resistens och screening av nya läkemedel. Resultaten från projektet kommer att användas för fortsatt övervakning av resistensläget och kommer att ligga till grund för långsiktigt hållbara parasitkontrollrutiner.

Increased production and export of products with high added values, e.g. long-ripened hard cheeses, are considered important steps for a positive development of the Swedish dairy sector. Increased investment in Swedish premium cheese will, however, require increased volumes of high quality raw milk …

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 …

Insufficient crop protection is an increasingly limiting factor for crop production. Damage by slugs and cabbage stem flea beetles in winter oilseed rape are timely examples of increasing crop protection problems in Sweden. We will test whether companion cropping winter oilseed rape with frost …

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 …

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 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 …
