Improved feed efficiency (FE) is a key parameter for increased sustainability in modern diary production. The project aims to increase the efficiency of converting feed into milk and reducing the environmental impact of dairy production. In order for farmers and breeding companies to include FE as a trait, FE must be scientifically defined and the animal's variation in FE linked to feed and animal parameters be further explored. The project will initially use Nordic and international data (big data sets) with information on animal consumption, production, digestibility and greenhouse gas emissions (GHG). How the FE property correlates with other properties such as digestion, energy metabolism, N-efficiency and health will be calculated to create opportunities for a successful Nordic breeding program. New methods, techniques and calculations will be developed to estimate FE at farm level, which may lead to new methods and tools for use in classical and genomic selection systems.
Förbättrad fodereffektivitet (FE) är en central parameter för ökad hållbarhet i modern mjölkproduktion. Projektet syftar till att öka effektiveten att omvandla foder till mjölk och minska mjölkproduktionens miljöpåverkan. För att näring och avelsföretag skall kunna inkludera FE som en egenskap, måste FE vetenskapligt definieras och djurens variation i FE kopplat till foder- och djurparametrar kartläggas ytterligare. Projektet kommer initialt att använda nordiska och internationella data (big data set) med information om djurens konsumtion, produktion, smältbarhet och utsläpp av växthusgaser (GHG). Hur egenskapen FE korrelerar till andra egenskaper som smältbarhet, energimetabolism, N-effektivitet och hälsa kommer att beräknas för att skapa möjligheter till ett framgångsrikt Nordiskt avelsprogram. Nya metoder, tekniker och beräkningar kommer att utvecklas för att skatta FE på gårdsnivå, vilket kan leda till nya metoder och verktyg för användning i klassiska och genomiska urvalssystem.

The goal of the project is to digitize the data from the Swedish official field trials through automated estimates of important traits such as germination, growth, resistance, maturity and the effect of plant protection products. The purpose is to streamline and improve scoring of both diseases but …

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 …

A cornerstone of the Swedish Food Strategy is trust in Swedish food production. Yet each year Swedish farmers and food processors lose both money and trust due to food fraud, especially for non-Swedish meat relabelled as Swedish. Most fraud remains undetected. A recent analytical development, Rapid …

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, …

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 …
