Conventional production of meat-type chickens in Sweden is characterized by high bio-security and low use of antibiotics. Still, there are indications of variations in day old chick quality causing economic losses in terms of variations in growth and increased condemnation at slaughter. The aim of this project is to investigate effects on gut development, gut microflora and immune response of adapted management and feeding of the newly hatched chicken. The hypothesis is that prebiotic effects of filamentous fungi and macro algae feed additive will promote development of a more robust chicken, with an enhanced positive effect when feed and water are available already during hatching. Effects of a probiotic supplement in water to newly hatched chickens are also studied. In addition, the project considers pros and cons of on farm hatching and hatchers providing feed and water, in preconditions prevailing in Sweden.
Svensk konventionell slaktkycklinguppfödning kännetecknas av hög biosäkerhet och låg användning av antibiotika. Trots detta finns indikationer på att den daggamla kycklingens kvalité varierar, vilket orsakar ekonomiska förluster till följd av ojämn tillväxt och kassationer vid slakt. Projektets mål är att studera möjligheten att via kycklingens första foder stimulera utveckling av såväl mag/tarmfunktion som immunförsvar. Hypotesen är att foder med prebiotiska ämnen från svampprotein respektive makroalger ger en robustare kyckling och att den positiva effekten förstärks när foder och vatten ges redan vid kläckning. Även effekten av en probiotisk tillsats i vattnet under kycklingens allra första levnadsdagar studeras. Projektet belyser dessutom för- och nackdelar med kläckning i djurutrymmet på gården respektive i moderna kläckare med foder och vatten, ur svenskt perspektiv.

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

We are facing a protein shift in which a portion of the animal based protein in our diet needs to be replaced by plant proteins to reduce the climate impact from the food sector. Many agricultural by-streams contain high value proteins not used to their full potential. We aim to recover proteins …
