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.

Using split fertilization of nitrogen (N) in wheat production is today well-established to increase protein content and adjust fertilization. However, deep knowledge and understanding of N uptake and remobilization during late stages of crop development are missing. Moreover, while split …

A primary reason for unhealthy legs and claws are unsuitable floor properties in dairy houses,
which may result in slippery floors and slip injuries to cows and mastitis.
The hygiene of a floor surface and floor properties affect the cow claw/floor interaction and gait.

Mixed leys are among the most important crops in northern Sweden for the dairy production. Mapping the within and between fields variability of the biomass, nitrogen (N) uptake and potentially also forage quality (digestibility and neutral detergent fibre) would help farmers to optimise their …

During the last decade, neonatal porcine diarrhoea (NPD) has become an increased problem in Swedish herds. Clostridium (C.) perfringens type A (CpA) and C. difficile (Cd) have been highlighted as causes of NPD but their importance has also been questioned. We have previously demonstrated that CpA …
