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 near future. How the
bacterium causes disease is unknown. We want to identify proteins of B. pilosicoli that the bacterium uses to attach to the intestinal mucosa. With knowledge of this process, we want to find ways to block the binding and thus probably prevent the onset of symptoms. The proteins may act as antigens for vaccine
development and may be used for development of new and specific diagnostic tests. We also want to develop a gut tissue model both for studying the binding of B. pilosicoli to the intestinal mucosa, and to test the effect of probiotic bacteria on the binding.
Spiroketal diarré orsakar stora ekonomiska avbräck för lantbrukaren på grund av hög smittsamhet och negativ påverkan på tillväxten. Sjukdomen orsakas av bakterien Brachyspira pilosicoli, som hör till gruppen spiroketer, och behandlas idag med antibiotika. Idag ser vi en ökad förekomst av antibiotikaresistens hos bakterien vilket gör att sjukdomen kan bli svårbehandlad i en nära framtid. Kunskaperna om hur B. pilosicoli orsakar sjukdom är ofullständiga. Vi vill identifiera proteiner hos B. pilosicoli som bakterien använder för att fästa till tarmslemhinnan. Med kunskap om den processen vill vi hitta sätt att blockera bindningen och därmed sannolikt förhindra uppkomst av symptom. Proteinerna kan fungera som antigener för vaccinutveckling och användas för utveckling av nya specifika diagnostiska tester. Vi vill även utveckla en tarmvävnadsmodell dels för att studera bindningen av B. pilosicoli till tarmslemhinna, dels för att testa effekten av probiotiska bakterier på bindningen.

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …
