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.

The aim of this project is to investigate individual differences in the rate of passage of feed, feed efficiency, microbial flora and methane production in cows with different ability to consume large proportion of roughage.
Our previous studies show that methane production differs between cows …

Icelandic horses are increasingly popular in Sweden and Norway. Their strength lies in their unique gaits, however, in lame horses this trait becomes a weakness. Evaluating not only lameness but also the leg of origin for lameness in any gait other than trot is exceptionally challenging. Today, we …

Peat use in horticulture is increasingly discussed due to its climate-relevance and the disturbance of mires. At the
same time, peat is the most important, natural horticultural growing media constituent and only a few other organic
constituents have gained acceptance in horticulture, but cannot …

Slippery floors results in falls and injuries which can be fatal. Moreover, on dairy farms slippery floors impede oestrus behaviour and ease of heat detection and as result cause economical losses due to impaired fertility. Grooving is the most common way to treat concrete floors to reduce …

The transition from winter-feeding to pasture involves a considerable diet change that might compromise the health of horses. Diseases like colic as well as insulin dysregulation and pasture associated laminitis are related to diet changes and pasture intake. However, little information exist on …
