Pneumonia is the most prevalent disease in Swedish feedlot cattle herds, causing mortality as well as affecting weight gain, rearing time and economy. Viral infections, including bovine respiratory syncytial virus (BRSV) and bovine coronavirus (BCV) as major actors, cause respiratory disease. Treatment of many calves with antibiotics for secondary bacterial pneumonia conveys a risk to develop resistance to antibiotics. We are convinced that recruitment of calves purely from BRSV/BCV-free dairy herds would increase calf health dramatically. Today calves are often mingled from various herds and run a high risk of disease. The studies are conducted in commercial feedlot herds during three years, assessing prevalence of infections, weight gain, disease incidence, motrality, treatments and abattoir registrations. Herds introducing calves only from BRSV/BCV-free dairy herds will be compared with conventionally mixed calf groups and health effects evaluated economically.
Lunginflammation är den vanligaste sjukdomen inom den specialiserade slaktnötsproduktionen, vilket orsakar dödsfall, försämrar tillväxten, förlänger uppfödningsperioden och påverkar ekonomin. Luftvägsinfektioner orsakas vanligen av virus där respiratoriskt syncytialt virus (BRSV) och coronavirus (BCV) är viktiga. Sekundära bakterieinfektioner gör att många kalvar måste antibiotikabehandlas med risk för resistensutveckling. Om kalvar rekryteras enbart från BRSV/BCV-fria mjölkkobesättningar är vi övertygade om att kalvhälsan förbättras dramatiskt. Idag förmedlas kalvar ofta från ett stort antal mjölkkobesättningar med varierande smittstatus och löper stor risk att insjukna. Studierna görs under tre år hos mellankalvs- och ungtjursuppfödare och kartlägger smittämnen, tillväxt, sjuklighet, dödlighet, behandlingar och fynd vid slakt. Besättningar där enbart kalvar från BRSV- och BCV-fria mjölkkobesättningar sätts in jämförs med konventionella kalvgrupper, inklusive en ekonomisk värdering.

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 …

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 …

Knowledge of disease development in wheat is a prerequisite for good advice on economically and environmentally
adapted control strategies. This project is based on knowledge from a previous SLF project about molecular detection
and spore traps, which showed that the different spore traps catch …

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 …

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 …

Although the equine sector in Sweden has gone through an expansion the last decades, the working methods have not changed. Working conditions must be improved to enable the horse industry to offer safe, sustainable and attractive jobs. The aim is to develop methods and tools for work environment …

Insect bite hypersensitivity (IBH) associated with Culicoides biting midges is the most common allergic skin disease in
horses, seriously reducing welfare of affected horses. The main symptom is severe pruritus, with risk of self-infected
open wounds. The choice for treatment and prevention of this …

The purpose of the project is to analyse stable cultures in cyberspace in Sweden and Norway. In recent years, questions about the welfare of horses have been debated in social media and norms for horse-keeping are created on Internet. In this project, these norms are conceptualised as stable …

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 …
