Icelandic horses are increasingly popular in Sweden and Norway. Their strength lies in their unique gaits, however, in lame horses this trait becomes a weakness. Evaluating not only lameness but also the leg of origin for lameness in any gait other than trot is exceptionally challenging. Today, we lack the most basic knowledge of how Icelandic horses move in the different gaits and how these gaits change in the event of lameness. Biomechanical research on lameness has excelled due to the use of automatic computerized sensor analysis. However, such analysis is currently limited to use during trot.The aim of this project is to study how Icelandic horses move in the different gaits; develop new algorithms for automatic classification and coding of these gaits; as well as identify sensitive symmetry variables to detect not only lameness but also origin of lameness in the different gaits. These findings can also be used to quantify gait traits for genetic studies as well as a breeding tool.
Islandshästar blir allt mer populära i Skandinavien. Deras unika gångarter gör dem mycket framgångsrika men gångarterna är också en svaghet, om de blir halta. Att utvärdera hälta och var hältan kommer ifrån är mycket svårt i andra gångarter än trav. Idag saknar vi den mest grundläggande kunskapen om hur islandshästar rör sig i de olika gångarterna och hur de förändrar sitt rörelsemönster när de blir halta. Den biomekaniska forskningen har kommit långt med att mäta hälta och automatisera dataanalysen för kliniskt bruk men dessa analyser förutsätter dock att hästen travar. Syftet med det här projektet är att studera hur islandshästar rör sig i de olika gångarterna, utveckla nya algoritmer för automatisk klassificering av gångarter samt identifiera känsliga symmetrivariabler för att detektera om hästen är halt samt var hältan kommer ifrån i de olika gångarterna. Kunskapen kan även användas för att kvantifiera gångartsegenskaper i genetiska studier samt i avelsarbetet.

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 …

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 …

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, …

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 …
