Cereal production is limited by many different factors. Leaf diseases are often well known, while diseases on roots are more difficult to identify. Root diseases are often caused by oomycetes, fungus-like microorganisms that live for years in soil and on old root debris, parasitizing the roots of wheat, barley, and many other plant species. Adult plants may be stunted and/or chlorotic, as if nitrogen deficient. Symptoms are often difficult to recognize and diagnose. Severe infections cause a general root rot. Within the project group we have noticed both Aphanomyces and Pythium spp. on roots of barley and Pythium spp. on wheat. These pathogens are overlooked and they cause diseases that can be important in all cereal-producing areas. In this project, we aim to identify the pathogens, assess the pathogenicity on different hosts and cultivars in the crop rotation and also evaluate the effects of seed treatments and lime.
Skördarna av spannmål begränsas av många faktorer. Bladsjukdomar är ofta väl kända, medan sjukdomar på rötter är svårare att identifiera och kartlägga. Rotsjukdomar orsakas ofta av oomyceter, svamplika organismer som kan leva i jord och växtrester i tiotals år. Symptom av dessa patogener är ofta diffusa och plantorna kan bli kortväxta och gulnande, som om de har näringsbrist. Vi har sett att det finns en art av Aphanomyces, som angriper rotsystemet i korn och även arter av Pythium i både korn och vete. Dessa patogener kan påverka skörden i mycket större omfattning än vad som hittills är känt. Projektets syfte är att öka produktiviteten i svensk spannmålsodling genom att uppmärksamma och minska skördeförlusterna orsakade av dessa rotsjukdomar. Målet är att identifiera patogenerna, testa patogeniteten på några vanligt förekommande lantbruksgrödor och även på olika sorter av korn och vete. Vi avser även att utvärdera motåtgärder i form av fröbetning och kalkning.

A main challenge for regions with intensive livestock production is phosphorus (P) surplus on farms, resulting in low P use efficiency and losses to waters. The project will provide solutions to increase P recycling from animal manure. This will decrease our dependency on imported P fertilizers, …

Viral infections of horses have significant impact on animal welfare and can lead to huge economic losses. One of the first early signs of a viral infection is the development of fever and to at this early step be able to identify the agent behind the infection would lead to rapid and correct …

Young horses can develop cervical vertebral stenotic myelopathy and ataxia, known as "wobbler syndrome" and associated with loss of breeding value, reduced athletic potential and euthanasia. Some wobblers have osteochondrosis of their vertebral facet joints, but it is now known how this relates to …

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global health threat. The WHO global action plan on AMR mentions LA-MRSA (Livestock-associated Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus) that is prevalent in pigs in many countries. The public health threat is generally low but for affected individuals it is a …

Zinkoxid (ZnO) in feed prevents post weaning diarrhoea (PWD) and mortality in weaned piglets but, for environmental reasons, ZnO will be banned in the EU in 2022 despite that there remain herds that are dependent on the use of ZnO (or antibiotics) at weaning.

The ability of milk to coagulate is crucial for cheese production. We have previously shown high occurrence of non-coagulating milk from Swedish Red Dairy cattle and identified milk proteins as potential markers for this undesirable trait. In this project we will increase the understanding of the …
