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.

During recent decades the area with brushwood has increased in the Swedish rural landscape. A study has shown that the annual harvest of brushwood for fuel purposes could amount to about 6 TWh. Some advantages with the utilization of brushwood as fuel are that the growth areas do not compete with …

Brachyspira pilosicoli causes spirochetal diarrhea resulting in reduced growth and great economic losses in pig herds. The disease is treated with antibiotics but today we see an increased incidence of antibiotic resistance in the bacteria, which may lead to difficulties to treat the disease in the …
