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.

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 …

Humus is an important indicator of soil quality and soil organic carbon (SOC) sequestration is a cost-effective measure to reduce the climatic impact of food production systems. The national soil-monitoring program (SMP) show an upward trend in SOC during the past 20 years, mostly attributed to an …

Conventional technology is virtually unable to measure complete GHG budgets of drained organic soils, which may provide misleading results. So, global estimates of GHG emissions are based on coarse assumptions that don’t take into account the complexity of agroecosystems. Better data are needed for …

Global livestock production must be intensified to meet the demand from a growing human population. However, this must not be at the expense of reduced animal health and deteriorated animal welfare. Infection with parasitic worms of ruminants is a major constraint on an efficient pasture-based …

Insufficient crop protection is an increasingly limiting factor for crop production. Damage by slugs and cabbage stem flea beetles in winter oilseed rape are timely examples of increasing crop protection problems in Sweden. We will test whether companion cropping winter oilseed rape with frost …

Potato cultivars that are resistant to late blight and at the same time having acceptable other traits, have started to emerge. However, little of this material is used in Sweden and no organized and comparative table potato trials are done. Biological products against skin-finish diseases are …
