This project aims at investigating the relationship between animal health and fertility, productivity in terms of milk yield and the economic outcome of dairy farms, and to investigate the conditions under which farms can succeed in combining profitability with high animal health standards.
There are two parts in the project:
1. What are the relationships between economic efficiency, economic risk, milk yield and animal health in dairy farms?
2. What characterise dairy farms that experience synergies between economic efficiency, milk yield and animal health, and those that experience conflicts between these?
This knoweldge can be used for more informed dialogue about the effects of improved animal health on the competitiveness of farms. This knowledge can also be used to formulate strategies to combine a favourable economic situation with high animal health standards in single farms.
Data will be obtained from the Swedish Milk Recording Scheme, the Farm Economic Survey and a survey.
Detta projekt syftar till att undersöka sambanden mellan djurhälsa och fertilitet, produktivitet i termer av mjölkavkastning och ekonomiskt resultat hos lantbruksföretag med mjölkproduktion, samt till att undersöka under vilka villkor lantbruksföretag kan kombinera goda ekonomiska resultat med god djurhälsa.
Projektet fokuseras runt två områden:
1. Hur ser sambanden ut mellan ekonomisk effektivitet, ekonomisk risk, mjölkavkastning och djurhälsa?
2. Vad utmärker de företag som erfar synergier mellan ekonomisk effektivitet, mjölkavkastning och djurhälsa och de som erfar motsättningar mellan dessa?
Kunskapen kan användas för en mer informerad dialog om vad förbättrad djurhälsa kan leda till i termer av lantbrukets konkurrenskraft. Kunskapen kan också användas till att utforma strategier för hur en väl fungerande ekonomisk situation i det enskilda företaget kan kombineras med god djurhälsa.
Projektet baseras på data från Kokontrollen, Jordbruksekonomiska undersökningen och en enkät.

Motor laterality, such as left or right-handedness, is a well-known asymmetric phenomenon in both humans and animals, incl. horses. Concurrently, lameness caused by orthopaedic injury is a common cause for asymmetry. In our study of riding horses in training, 73 % had motion asymmetries, warranting …

A few years ago, media reported on a 7 year-old girl who was killed during a riding lesson. The accident evokes questions about children, horses and safety. Children are small and horses big, and the horse is a herd and prey animal whose behaviour is partly controlled by instincts. Today, many …

Improved feed efficiency (FE) is a key parameter for increased sustainability in modern diary production. The project aims to increase the efficiency of converting feed into milk and reducing the environmental impact of dairy production. In order for farmers and breeding companies to include FE as …

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 …

Sustainable dairy systems must strive for practices that reduce the negative impacts and enhance the positive impacts, and find measures to track changes in relation to different goals. The aim of this project is to investigate how indicators and tools for ecosystem services and biodiversity can be …
