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.

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 …
