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.

Mastitis (udder inflammation) is the most costly disease among dairy cows. Swedish studies show that first parity cows often have udder infections and mastitis at calving, which may have considerable negative effects on their milk production and longevity, but that the prevalence varies among …

The sensory attributes of the raw milk are of major importance for the quality of the resulting dairy products. Since the early 90’ies, the so-called “blueberry off-flavour” has caused severe economic consequences for affected dairy farmers. The mechanism behind is still unclear, although forages …

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 …

This project aims at deepening knowledge about drivers of farm business development and about how different strategies for business development impact the financial outcome of the farms. These are our research questions:
1. What are the driving forces for farmers’ choices of different strategies …

The most recent carbon footprint of Swedish pig production was presented in 2009, and no full LCA have been published in 15 years. In recent years major improvements have occurred in Swedish pig production and an updated environmental profile for Swedish pork is needed. The project will identify …

The aim of the project is to study effects of LED-light on milk production and activity in dairy cows. The main hypotheses are that LED light allows maintained cow activity and milk production with less energy used for illumination, and that LED-light makes it possible to apply a dark period during …

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 …

Introduction of African swine fever to Sweden would be devastating for the national pig industry. Infected wild boar are considered the most likely route of introduction to Swedish domestic pigs and preventive measures are needed. Knowledge of how infection from wild boar to pigs can be prevented, …
