Development of resistance to anthelmintics is a threat to equine welfare. As with antibiotics, restrictive use with anthelmintics in order to retain the effect is essential. Current recommendation for deworming is targeted selective treatment to individuals shedding a certain amount of parasite eggs. Clinic veterinarians and pathologists have in recent years observed an increase in parasite-related injuries. In parallel, data from the SVA indicate an increase in the frequency of the large bloodworm. The aim of this Norwegian-Swedish collaboration is to investigate whether selective deworming can be linked to an increase in the prevalence of the parasite and parasite-related damages, and to develop a PCR-based test for rapid diagnostic and lastly to validate the effect of grazing hygienic measures as a complement to deworming. It is vital for the horse industry to apply sustainable practices for parasite control in order to minimize the negative health impact of parasitic infections.
Resistensutveckling mot avmaskningsmedel är ett hot mot hästars hälsa. I likhet med antibiotika är det nödvändigt att vara restriktiv med avmaskningsmedel för att kunna bevara effekten. Selektiv avmaskning rekommenderas därför sedan ungefär tio år men klinikveterinärer och patologer har observerat en ökning av parasitrelaterade skador under de senaste åren. Data från SVA indikerar samtidigt en ökad förekomst av stor blodmask. Syftet med det här norsk-svenska projektet är dels att utveckla diagnostiken av hästens stora och små blodmaskar och dels undersöka om selektiv avmaskning kan kopplas till en ökad parasitförekomst och parasitrelaterade skador. För första gången i Skandinavien kommer vi även att mäta effekten av beteshygieniska åtgärder som komplement till selektiv avmaskning. Det är avgörande för framtiden att man inom hästnäringen tillämpar långsiktigt hållbara rutiner för parasitkontroll utan att det samtidigt leder till ökade parasitskador.

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 …

A cornerstone of the Swedish Food Strategy is trust in Swedish food production. Yet each year Swedish farmers and food processors lose both money and trust due to food fraud, especially for non-Swedish meat relabelled as Swedish. Most fraud remains undetected. A recent analytical development, Rapid …

Competing unshod is an important issue for the Swedish harness industry. There is a general opinion that performance may increase significantly but it does not always work. The reason for failure may be disturbed locomotion “balance” of the horse or due to pain from the hooves. This is obviously …

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, …

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 …

Acquired equine polyneuropathy (AEP) is a devastating neurologic disease affecting Nordic horses. Characteristic histopathological changes have been shown in the peripheral nerves of horses euthanized due to the disease. These include re- and demyelination as well as hypertrophy of perikaria and …

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 …

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 …
