Agriculture in plain-lands is often specialized in crop production, with no on-farm use of ley as animal fodder, and crop rotations that often includes only annual crops (e.g. oilseed rape, cereals and sugar beets). At the same time, integrating ley in arable cropping systems generates several benefits, e.g. improved soil carbon balance and soil fertility, reduced weed abundance and inputs of biologically fixed nitrogen. Selling the biomass for fodder or biogas substrate, in combination with extraction of protein in a biorifenery concept (where the protein can be used both for human food and animal feed), can facilitate innovative uses of ley biomass. To realize such ideas, it is important to investigate drivers and obstacles in farmers’ perspectives. This project will analyze farmers’ experiences and views on possibilities for innovative use of ley biomass, thereby stimulating actions for increased cultivation of ley in arable cropping systems and enhanced overall sustainability.
Lantbruk i slättbygd är ofta specialiserad på växtproduktion, utan egen användning av vallfoder, vilket betyder att växtföljden ofta består av enbart ettåriga grödor (t.ex. höstraps, höstvete, sockerbetor och vårkorn). Samtidigt det välkänt att det finns många nyttor med att inkludera vall i sådana växtföljder, exempelvis förbättrad markkolsbalans och markbördighet, minskad förekomst av ogräs och tillskott av biologiskt fixerat kväve. Avsalu till foder eller biogassubstrat, kombinerat med att man utvinner protein (som kan bli både humanföda och proteinfoder) i så kallade bioraffinaderier, möjliggör innovativ avsättning av vallbiomassa. För att sådana idéer ska bli verklighet är det angeläget att utforska drivkrafter och hinder i lantbrukares perspektiv. Detta projekt ska kartlägga odlarerfarenheter och förutsättningar för innovativ avsättning av vallbiomassa, och därigenom identifiera åtgärder för ökad vallodling på slätten i synergi med klimatnytta och lönsam växtproduktion.

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 …

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 …

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, …

Acquired equine polyneuropathy (AEP) is a devastating neurologic disease affecting Nordic horses. Characteristic histopathological changes have been shown in the peripheral nerves of horses euthanized due to the disease. These include re- and demyelination as well as hypertrophy of perikaria and …

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 …

We are facing a protein shift in which a portion of the animal based protein in our diet needs to be replaced by plant proteins to reduce the climate impact from the food sector. Many agricultural by-streams contain high value proteins not used to their full potential. We aim to recover proteins …
