Ny teknik och skötsel för ökad hygien i liggbås för mjölkkor i lösdrift.

The role of training and competition surfaces as a cause of orthopaedic injury in equestrian disciplines has been given attention over the last years. This has led to a need for objective description of arena properties. With means from FEI, SH and other donating bodies our research group has …

The proposed project is a completion of a SLF funded project on developing strategies for detection of salmonella, prevention of salmonella infection and increased cost-effectiveness of salmonella eradication, in Swedish dairy herds. The aim is to decrease the prevalence of salmonella in Swedish …

The aim of this project is to evaluate long term effects of liming with burnt and slaked lime on soil structure and mitigation of phosphorus losses from arable soils. Experiences from practical use indicate that the effects on soil structure can last very long. The studies will be carried out using …

Forage maize is an important forage type for dairy and beef production. Maize is different from other forages due to its physiology, large number of hybrids with variation in maturity, yield and quality. The turnover of the hybrids is high due to that new hybrids are introduced every year. The …

Hur mycket varierar den symbiotiska fixeringen av kväve i baljväxter inom ett fält? I den här kunskapssammanställningen belyser vi faktorer som påverkar kvävefixering i fält. Mängden fixerat kväve i en gröda kan uppgå till så mycket som 1000 kg N per ha och den variera mycket inom ett fält. Det är …

The prerequisite for sustainable dairy production is persistent lactation and high yield. The trend is fewer but bigger herds with increasing level of automation, like automatic milking (AM). To increase the efficiency in AM, automatic cluster take off can be done at high milk flow levels and with …

The overall aim of the Agroväst Beef and Lamb Program is to improve the resource-efficiency and profitability of the Swedish beef and lamb production. Specific objectives of the different projects are
• to study the effect of tall fescue and timothy grass silage harvested at different maturity …

Realtids- PCR teknik utvecklades i projektet för att identifiera och kvantifiera fyra patogener som orsakar rotröta i rödklöver. Sjukdomsutvecklingen hos 18 sorter har undersökts på olika försöksplatser. Vi har visat att Cylindrocarpon destructans troligtvis är den svamp som till störst del orsakar …

The project aim was to identify proteins that are involved in the control and heritability of osteochondrosis. Four proteins that could potentially be involved had been identified in previous own studies, and during the course of the project, a major genetic study in pigs was completed which …
