The purpose of the project is to analyse stable cultures in cyberspace in Sweden and Norway. In recent years, questions about the welfare of horses have been debated in social media and norms for horse-keeping are created on Internet. In this project, these norms are conceptualised as stable cultures. Whether stable cultures vary with age, gender and riding experience is investigated. First, norms will be mapped out using a survey. Second, information on horse-keeping and the welfare of horses on sites used by riders will be analysed. Third, riders are interviewed to deepen the analysis and create an understanding of how and why certain information is granted value. For the welfare of horses, it is important to bridge the gap between research and practice. Therefore, the project will lead to suggestions about how digital communication tools can be improved and developed.
Syftet med projektet är att analysera stallbackskulturer i cyberrymden i Sverige och Norge. Under senare år har frågor om hästhållning och omsorg om hästen debatterats i sociala medier och på nätet skapas normer för hur hästar ska tas omhand. Dessa normer ges i projektet samlingsnamnet stallbackskulturer. Huruvida stallbackskulturen varierar med ålder, genus och riderfarenhet undersöks i projektet. För det första kartläggs normerna genom en enkätstudie. Därefter analyseras information om hästhållning och hästars välfärd som finns på de sajter där ryttare söker information. Vidare intervjuas ryttare för att fördjupa analysen samt skapa förståelse för vilken (och varför) information som tillerkänns värde. Att kunskap som sprids vilar på forskning och beprövad erfarenhet, inte tyckanden, är av vikt för hästars välfärd. Därför ska projektet leda till förslag på hur digitala kommunikationsverktyg kan utvecklas.

We are facing a protein shift in which a portion of the animal based protein in our diet needs to be replaced by plant proteins to reduce the climate impact from the food sector. Many agricultural by-streams contain high value proteins not used to their full potential. We aim to recover proteins …

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 …
