The overall objective of this project is to create milk biomarkers based on specific milk fatty acids for identification of cows with reproductive disorders and metabolic disturbances. Milk will be analysed by Fourier-transform mid-infrared technology. An important value of this project for the dairy farmers is that the milk analyses required for decisions will be readily available for advisors and farmers, as all cows in Swedish official milk recording system are already sampled monthly. There is great potential in so far unutilized data, especially in MFA which both have such a high concentration in the milk that they can be analyzed with a high accuracy and reflect the metabolism of individual cows. The goal is that all dairy farmers who are part of the SOMRS should be given the means to be able to take appropriate measures, at the individual, group and herd level, to facilitate sustainable milk production.
Det övergripande målet med projektet är att skapa biomarkörer baserade på specifika fettsyror i mjölk (MFA) för att kunna identifiera kor med reproduktionsstörningar och ämnesomsättningsproblem. Mjölk analyseras med Fourier-transform mid-infrared technology. Det finns en stor potential i hittills outnyttjade data från de månatliga provmjölkningarna. Vissa MFA har en så hög koncentration i mjölken att de kan analyseras med god säkerhet och dessutom återspeglar de metabolismen hos korna. Målet är att alla mjölkproducenter som ingår i kokontrollen får tillgång till dessa biomarkörer i form av MFA-profiler och att de att de erbjuds tolkningsverktyg så att de vidta lämpliga åtgärder på individ-, grupp- och besättningsnivå vilka bidrar till en hållbar mjölkproduktion.

Fruit tree canker, caused by the fungus Neonectria ditissima, has become a threat for Swedish apple production. No efficient protective measures are available and no complete genetic resistance is known in apple. However, apple genotypes differ in the level of partial resistance which must be fully …

Healthy seeds are a prerequisite for sustainable food systems. The seed-borne plant disease, common bunt (CB) in wheat, caused by the fungi Tilletia tritici and T. laevis, is a major problem in agriculture. Efficient chemical seed treatments exist, but it is often difficult to keep up with autumn …

Colibacillosis is a common disease in poultry and includes both local and systemic infections. Increased knowledge is necessary for development of effective methods to prevent disease, such as improved management routines, modification of environment, and vaccine development. The first study (WP1) …

A major challenge facing agriculture is handling water excess and deficit exacerbated by climate change, while reducing eutrophication. Controlled drainage (CD) has the potential to address these issues and improve yield stability. Despite CDs clear benefits and state subsidies for CD installation, …
