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.

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 …
