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.

Weed competes with the crop for light, water and nutrients. Competition for resources can cause crop losses which in some cases can be significant, as well as provide a crop of poorer quality. It is therefore important to develop strategies that keep weeds at a reasonable level. Not keeping the …

The purpose of the project is to measure pressure distribution of cattle claws on solid and slatted floors with varying softness and slot openings. The aim is to produce recommendations for the design of floors for cattle that better meet animal welfare requirements. Floor tests will be made using …

In Sweden, thousands of hectares of agricultural land are not being actively used for agricultural production. Some
reasons are small and irregular-shaped fields, low soil fertility, distant fields, etc. These so-called marginal fields are
often non-profitable and they may be abandoned in the …

Swedish milk needs to be more internationally competitive. To achieve this objective costs related to production need to decrease at the same time as customer perceived values are strengthened and more clearly communicated. Lowering the incidence of mastitis reduces the production cost for farmers. …

In Sweden, fertilization recommendations are based on results obtained from the P-AL (ammonium lactate) soil test, which is supposed to provide the potentially available phosphorus (P). There are known deficiencies with this method, for example that it is poorly suited to determine the availability …
