Dairy cows are an important part of a sustainable and resilient food production as they facilitate circular flows on the farm and contribute to carbon sequestration, open landscapes and biodiversity. To achieve a sustainable dairy production in all parts of Sweden, we need large as well as small dairy herds. However, there is a lack of knowledge and adapted advisory services towards small dairy producers, whom often have a diverse production with on-farm refinements. For them to be a part of a sustainable food production, they need to be climate adapted and sustainable, with high biosecurity and good animal health, and we don't know if that is the case today. Thus, we will map sustainability and resilience in small dairy cattle herds with focus on biosecurity, working conditions, animal welfare, climate adaption and environmental impact. The results will high-light opportunities, obstacles and challenges for these farmers, and lead to increased knowledge and improved advisory services.
Mjölkkor är en viktig del i en hållbar och robust livsmedelsproduktion då de möjliggör cirkulära kretslopp på gården samt bidrar till kolinlagring, öppna landskap och biologisk mångfald. För en hållbar mjölkproduktion i hela landet behövs både stora och små mjölkgårdar. Det saknas dock kunskap och anpassad rådgivning riktad mot mindre producenter, som ofta har möjlighet att ha fler produktionsgrenar, nischad produktion och förädling av råvara på gården. För att dessa mindre gårdar ska bidra till en hållbar och robust svensk livsmedelsförsörjning krävs att de har en hållbar och klimatanpassad produktion med gott smittskydd och god djurhälsa, och vi vet inte om så är fallet i dag. Därför vill vi kartlägga hållbarhet och robusthet i mindre mjölkkobesättningar, med fokus på smittskydd, arbetsmiljö, djurvälfärd, klimatanpassning och miljöpåverkan. Resultaten kommer belysa möjligheter, hinder och utmaningar för denna typ av besättningar och leda till ökad kunskap och förbättrad rådgivning.

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 …

The conversion into a bio-based economy in Sweden requires a broad range of initiatives. One of the challenges is that additional sources of biomass will be needed. High yield potential, low conversion and production costs are critical success factors for new raw material. Salix is an energy crop …

The sensory attributes of the raw milk are of major importance for the quality of the resulting dairy products. Since the early 90’ies, the so-called “blueberry off-flavour” has caused severe economic consequences for affected dairy farmers. The mechanism behind is still unclear, although forages …

In the proposed project, we will explore the benefits of increasing the longevity of dairy cows under Swedish conditions by changes in herd management. We will focus on effects on methane emissions by modelling, using existing data from the Swedish Official Milk Recording Scheme and results from an …

Sustainable dairy systems must strive for practices that reduce the negative impacts and enhance the positive impacts, and find measures to track changes in relation to different goals. The aim of this project is to investigate how indicators and tools for ecosystem services and biodiversity can be …

Conventional technology is virtually unable to measure complete GHG budgets of drained organic soils, which may provide misleading results. So, global estimates of GHG emissions are based on coarse assumptions that don’t take into account the complexity of agroecosystems. Better data are needed for …
