Blueberry taste is a defect appearing at irregular intervals in individual dairy herds' bulk tank milk, especially in northern Sweden. If there is a complaint, the producer receives an immediate price reduction and risks being cut off from delivery as long as the problem persists. The cause of "blueberry" taste has not yet been determined. The problem is most common during winter months. In recent years, SLU has received two smaller national grants to work on the problem, part of a LivsID grant (SLF) and one from Family Kamprad's Foundation (research programs attached). In those projects, we have recently identified an analysis technique that can link the taste defect to chemical changes in milk and feed, which is a breakthrough. To be able to explain why the changes in the milk occur on the farms, we now need to collect more milk and feed samples and animal data over a longer period of time. The results will form the basis of an advisory and action package to help affected producers.
Blåbärssmak är ett smakfel i tankmjölken som med oregelbundna intervall uppträder hos enskilda mjölkbesättningar framförallt i norra Sverige. Vid anmärkning får producenten omedelbart prisavdrag och riskerar stängas av från leverans så länge problemet kvarstår. Orsaken till smakfelet ”blåbär” har ännu inte kunnat fastställas, men problemet är vanligast under vintermånaderna. SLU har under de senast åren fått två mindre nationella anslag för att arbeta med problematiken, del av anslag i LivsID (SLF) och från Familjen Kamprads Stiftelse (forskningsprogram bifogade). I de projekten har vi nyligen identifierat en analysteknik som kan koppla smakfelet till kemiska förändringar i mjölk och foder, vilket är ett genombrott. För att kunna förklara varför förändringarna i mjölken uppstår på gårdarna, behöver vi nu samla in fler mjölk- och foderprover och djurdata under en längre tid. Resultaten skall ligga till grund för ett rådgivnings- och åtgärdspaket för att hjälpa drabbade producenter.

The aim of the project is to develop tools which can be used for individually adapted lactation lengths based on the biological conditions of the cow. Today a one year calving interval and a short lactation period, is recommended. The recommendations are based on 30 years old information and do not …

Free living nematodes (FLN) and root-knot nematodes (RKN) are increasing problems in root and tuber crops such as potato, sugar beet and carrot. There is a need for effective sanitation techniques and tolerant crops/varieties to keep population levels low in the rotation. Recently, the severe …

The role of liming in the crop rotation remains to be thoroughly investigated. Within two recent SLF projects, yield in sugar beet, barley and oil seed rape has been measured in the first rotation. In 2018, beets will be grown for a second time which gives us unique possibilities with the aim to …

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, …

Disease and production disturbances in a herd are often silent, and may cause major losses if they remain undetected. Continuous analysis and monitoring of data already recorded at the farm level can improve profitability. This project will develop methods for monitoring trends in production and …

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 …
