This project is the Swedish part of the Nordic 4-year project Improving Nordic dairy cow fertility through genetics, the only prioritized research project from Nordic Dairy Cattle R&D, 2015. Research funding is applied for within each country. The focus area of our Swedish part is to investigate how we best can use automated recordings to improve the genetic evaluation for fertility, such as return to normal cyclicity after calving, association to oestrus intensity and ability to remain pregnant. Records are from activity tags, milk progesterone, milk composition, and the pregnancy protein PAG. Our hypothesis is that traits we can define from these new data have sufficient good quality to be used in the routine genetic evaluation which may increase herd profitability to a low marginal cost. We will collaboratively use the recordings from all three countries within NAV (activity data also from Norway). Strategies to design an optimal breeding program for fertility will be developed.
Projektet utgör den svenska delen av det nordiska 4-åriga projektet Improving Nordic dairy cow fertility through genetics, som var det prioriterade projektet från Nordic Dairy Cattle R&D 2015. Forskningsmedel söks inom varje land. Vår del fokuserar främst på att undersöka hur vi bäst kan använda uppgifter från automatiska registreringar för att förbättra avelsvärderingen för fruktsamhet, såsom kons förmåga att komma tillbaka i normala brunstcykler efter kalvning, koppling till brunststyrka och förmåga att förbli dräktig. Registreringar är aktivitetsnivå, progesteron, mjölksammansättning och dräktighetsproteinet PAG. Vår hypotes är att egenskaper som vi kan definiera från dessa data är tillräckligt bra för att använda i rutinavelsvärderingen vilket kan öka lönsamheten för besättningarna till en låg marginalkostnad. Vi kommer att samutnyttja registreringar som redan görs, från alla tre länder i NAV (aktivitet även från Norge). Strategier för ett optimalt avelsprogram kommer att tas fram.

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 …

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 …

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, …

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 …

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 …

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 …
