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.

The aim of the project is to study effects of LED-light on milk production and activity in dairy cows. The main hypotheses are that LED light allows maintained cow activity and milk production with less energy used for illumination, and that LED-light makes it possible to apply a dark period during …

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 …

Introduction of African swine fever to Sweden would be devastating for the national pig industry. Infected wild boar are considered the most likely route of introduction to Swedish domestic pigs and preventive measures are needed. Knowledge of how infection from wild boar to pigs can be prevented, …

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 …

Consumer trends are focused on minimal processing of milk. The new process technologies for heat treatment used in the dairy industry today probably have smaller effects on the nutritional quality and functionality of milk than the older technologies that are the basis for the calculations of …

Improved feed efficiency (FE) is a key parameter for increased sustainability in modern diary production. The project aims to increase the efficiency of converting feed into milk and reducing the environmental impact of dairy production. In order for farmers and breeding companies to include FE as …

The goal is models for translating satellite data from the time of supplementary fertilisation directly to nitrogen (N) recommendation maps. The crops are winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and malting barley (Hordeum vulgare L.). A new multispectral camera for drones, with nine bands of the same …
