The project aims to develop and evaluate molecular tests for the detection of gastrointestinal parasites in sheep and their resistance status to anthelmintics. The genetic markers will then be tested in two major sheep flocks to provide an evidence base for a monitoring program that, ultimately, will be compared with and eventually replace the currently used systems. The goal is to prevent the spread of resistant parasites to sheep flocks in a more efficient manner than is the case today.
Our hypothesis is that the morbidity of parasite-afflicted flocks is generally higher than in those which can still control the pathogens. A consequence of the lack of accurate parasite monitoring is that anthelmintics are used inappropriately. This inevitably leads to increased resistance, which in turn provides increased morbidity whereby production is adversely affected by, for example, reduced growth and higher lamb mortality.
I projektet utvecklas molekylära tester för detektion av mag- och tarmparasiter hos får och för mätning om de är resistenta mot avmaskningsmedel. De genetiska markörerna kommer initialt att utvärderas i två större fårbesättningar för att lägga grunden till ett övervakningsprogram som kommer att jämföras med och som på sikt är tänkt att ersätta den diagnostik som används idag. Målet är att förhindra spridning resistenta parasiter till större fårbesättningar på ett effektivare sätt än vad som sker idag.
Vår hypotes är att sjukligheten i parasitbelastade besättningar generellt är högre än i de som effektivt kontrollerar dessa smittämnen. En följd av bristande övervakning är att avmaskningsmedel används i onödan och på ett felaktigt vis. Detta leder till att problem med anthelmintikaresistens sprids och blir allt vanligare vilket i sin tur ger ökad sjuklighet. Produktionen påverkas i dessa fall negativt genom exempelvis nedsatt tillväxt och högre lammdödlighet.

Wheat bran is the largest by-product of wheat flour production with approximately 300,000 tonnes in Sweden. Bran is mainly used in animal feed, as human digestion is not fully able to absorb it. Wheat bran contains valuable biomolecules, such as dietary fiber (arabinoxylans, AX) and phenolic …

Resistance to anthelmintic drugs is a threat to equine welfare. Like antibiotics, is restrictive use of anthelmintics necessary to retain their effectivity. Thus, targeted selective treatment, based on individual deworming, was introduced a decade ago. However, we have shown that the prevalence of, …

Acquired equine polyneuropathy (AEP) is a devastating neurologic disease affecting Nordic horses. Characteristic histopathological changes have been shown in the peripheral nerves of horses euthanized due to the disease. These include re- and demyelination as well as hypertrophy of perikaria and …

The purpose of this project is to define the amount of slaked lime needed for a given clay soil. We hypothesise that the amount of slaked lime needed for minimal phophorus loss is dependent on the clay content of the soil. The study will be conducted in a field with a drainage system and measuring …

Competing unshod is an important issue for the Swedish harness industry. There is a general opinion that performance may increase significantly but it does not always work. The reason for failure may be disturbed locomotion “balance” of the horse or due to pain from the hooves. This is obviously …

Increased production and export of products with high added values, e.g. long-ripened hard cheeses, are considered important steps for a positive development of the Swedish dairy sector. Increased investment in Swedish premium cheese will, however, require increased volumes of high quality raw milk …

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 …

Knowledge of disease development in wheat is a prerequisite for good advice on economically and environmentally
adapted control strategies. This project is based on knowledge from a previous SLF project about molecular detection
and spore traps, which showed that the different spore traps catch …
