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 and will not allow the current variation in sensory quality and ripening time. In this project we develop new knowledge about the microflora flow from farm to cheese. With techniques based on DNA sequencing we study how on-farm factors in production and handling of silage affect the microflora of forages, raw milk and cheese and identify bacteria affecting ripening time, taste and texture of the long-ripened cheese. In the project dairy farmers, cheese industry, advisory service and researchers collaborate to develop and economically evaluate new concepts for quality assurance of forages, raw milk and long-ripened cheese with the aim to increase the profitability in the whole value chain.
Ökad produktion och export av mejeriprodukter med höga mervärden, såsom långlagrad hårdost, framförs som viktiga steg för en positiv utveckling av svensk mejerisektor. En ökad satsning på svensk premiumost kräver dock ökande volymer av garanterat högkvalitativ mjölkråvara och tillåter inte nuvarande variation i ostarnas sensoriska kvalitet och mognadstid. I projektet utvecklar vi ny kunskap om mikroflorans flöde från gård till färdig ost. Med nya tekniker baserade på DNA-sekvensering studerar vi hur mikroflorans sammansättning i grovfoder, mjölkråvara och ost påverkas av gårdsnära faktorer i produktion och hantering av ensilage. Vi identifierar även bakterier med betydelse för den långlagrade ostens lagringstid, smak och textur. I projektet medverkar mjölkföretagare, ostindustrin, rådgivningen och forskare för att utveckla och ekonomiskt utvärdera ett nytt koncept för kvalitetssäkring av grovfoder, mjölkråvara och långlagrad ost med syfte att öka lönsamheten i hela värdekedjan.

The aim of this project is to investigate individual differences in the rate of passage of feed, feed efficiency, microbial flora and methane production in cows with different ability to consume large proportion of roughage.
Our previous studies show that methane production differs between cows …

Icelandic horses are increasingly popular in Sweden and Norway. Their strength lies in their unique gaits, however, in lame horses this trait becomes a weakness. Evaluating not only lameness but also the leg of origin for lameness in any gait other than trot is exceptionally challenging. Today, we …

Peat use in horticulture is increasingly discussed due to its climate-relevance and the disturbance of mires. At the
same time, peat is the most important, natural horticultural growing media constituent and only a few other organic
constituents have gained acceptance in horticulture, but cannot …

Slippery floors results in falls and injuries which can be fatal. Moreover, on dairy farms slippery floors impede oestrus behaviour and ease of heat detection and as result cause economical losses due to impaired fertility. Grooving is the most common way to treat concrete floors to reduce …
