While the equine sector in Sweden and Norway provides leisure activities, entertainment and employment for many people of all ages, these come with associated negative effects. Studies of the environmental impacts caused by the sector show that nutrient leakage from manure piles, paddocks and pastures is a problem, alongside issues of feed and transport. Agents within the sector have been cast as potential threats to the environment, rather than as carriers of solutions. We want to change this. The ultimate purpose of the project is to spearhead a pro-environmental transformation of the equine sector. In collaboration with riding schools, federations and higher education institutions, this inquiry aims to gain a deep understanding of the decision-making processes and actions taken by individual and collective actors, as these are crucial for a lasting change to occur. This transformation will strengthen the sector's capacity to operate as a positive force for societal change.
Hästsektorn genererar fritidsaktiviteter, underhållning och sysselsättning för många människor i alla åldrar, men
sektorn påverkar även miljön. Studier av den miljöpåverkan som orsakas av hästsektorn visar att näringsläckage från
gödselstackar, paddockar och betesmarker är ett problem; foder och transporter är andra. Kunskap om sektorns
negativa miljöpåverkan finns, men få studier fokuserar på att utvärdera strategier för hur man kan genomföra
förändringar i det dagliga arbetet i stallen. Aktörer inom sektorn har setts som potentiella hot mot miljön - inte som
bärare av lösningar. Vi vill ändra detta. Syftet med projektet är att - i samarbete med ridskolor, förbund och högre
utbildningsinstitutioner - generera en miljöomvandling av sektorn med fokus på beteende och beslutsfattande hos
enskilda och kollektiva aktörer, eftersom dessa aktörer är avgörande för en förändring. En sådan omvandling kommer
att stärka sektorns förmåga att fungera som en positiv förändringskraft i samhället.

Young horses can develop cervical vertebral stenotic myelopathy and ataxia, known as "wobbler syndrome" and associated with loss of breeding value, reduced athletic potential and euthanasia. Some wobblers have osteochondrosis of their vertebral facet joints, but it is now known how this relates to …

The alarming development of triple resistant Parascaris spp. is an increasing threat to foal health and the equine industry, due to the risk of increasing veterinary costs and loss of foals. A continued development of triple resistant roundworms in Sweden would be devastating for foals and …

To grow with reduced use of glyphosate is of great concern driven by the requirements for integrated pest management, the risk of herbicide resistance and a potential coming ban on glyphosate. It requires balancing between environmental effects and impact on yield and economy. The project's goal is …

This project aims to create a popular scientific review of the use of leys for livestock. Target groups are the agricultural
sector and industry. The project has five work packages (WP); administration, crop production, harvest and
conservation, feed value for different animals, and economy. The …

We need to remediate the capacity of agricultural landscapes to retain water, nutrients and sediments to make them
more resilient to the increasing frequency of flooding, drought and pollution expected with the climate change. It can
be done by remediating existing narrow ditches into ditches with …

It is well known that storage of animal manure and digestate causes emissions of methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O) and ammonia (NH3). A crust on liquid manure acts both as a physical barrier for NH3 and as a biofilter that oxidize CH4 and NH3. However, N2O can be formed in some crusts, and there …

Racing unshod improves the speed, but not all horses have sufficient hoof quality to run barefoot repeatedly without risking health problems. If measures of the ability to race barefoot based on routinely recorded data can be used as a genetic selection tool, it will improve animal health and …

The work in horse stables is commonly characterised by heavy and monotonous work, a low degree of
mechanisation and often outdated and worn facilities, and studies have shown a high prevalence of musculoskeletal
complaints for employees at riding schools. The objective of this study is to evaluate …
