In the proposed project, we will explore the benefits of increasing the longevity of dairy cows under Swedish conditions by changes in herd management. We will focus on effects on methane emissions by modelling, using existing data from the Swedish Official Milk Recording Scheme and results from an advanced computer simulation tool, SimHerd, to evaluate farm profitability. Milk from cows in diffferent lactations will be analysed for processing traits.
Hypotheses: Methane emissions will decrease by increasing herd longevity since the productive life of the cow will be longer in relation to the time until productive life starts. Reduced recruitment of heifers will increase the economic profitability on the farm since heifer rearing is associated with significant costs. By increased longevity in the herd, total milk yield from the herd will increase but raw milk composition and processing properties will not be negatively affected.
I det här projektet kommer vi att undersöka fördelarna med att öka livslängden hos mjölkkor under svenska förhållanden genom förändringar i rekryteringsstrategin. Vi kommer att ha fokus på metanutsläppen genom att modellera dessa, använda data från kokontrollen och resultat från avancerade datasimuleringar i programmet SimHerd för att utvärdera lönsamheten. Mjölk från kor i olika laktationsnummer kommer att analyseras för processegenskaper.
Hypoteser: Metanutsläppen kommer att minska genom att öka livslängden hos korna eftersom tiden som korna är produktiva blir längre jämfört med tiden innan kon börjar mjölka. Minskad rekrytering av kvigor ökar lönsamheten i besättningen eftersom kviguppfödning är kostsamt. Genom att öka livslängden i besättningen kommer totala mjölkmängden att öka i besättningen, men mjölksammansättningen och processegenskaperna kommer inte att påverkas negativt.

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 …

Weed competes with the crop for light, water and nutrients. Competition for resources can cause crop losses which in some cases can be significant, as well as provide a crop of poorer quality. It is therefore important to develop strategies that keep weeds at a reasonable level. Not keeping the …

Controlled inputs of plant protection agents are vital for achieving high yields in fresh condition. Integrated Pest Management (IPM) lays the foundation for this, in which plant protection is a very important tool for keeping the crop healthy and free from attacks by pathogens. The pathogens …
