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, Strongylus vulgaris, the most pathogenic and feared parasite of horses, has increased since then. Deworming all horses on a regular basis is not a solution of this problem. We need to develop alternative methods to drugs for parasite control. The aims of this project are to a) investigate the survival of overwintered S. vulgaris larvae on pasture b) investigate a predatory fungus which trap parasitic larvae on pasture c) develop clinical diagnostic markers for migrating S. vulgaris larvae. It is vital to reduce the use of anthelmintic drugs without an increased risk of parasitic diseases. The results from this project will introduce new approaches to control and diagnose strongyle parasites.
Resistens mot avmaskningsmedel är ett hot mot hästars hälsa. I likhet med antibiotika är det nödvändigt att vara restriktiv med användningen för att bevara effekten. Sedan tio år rekommenderas selektiv avmaskning av hästar. Tyvärr har hästens mest fruktade parasit, Strongylus vulgaris, ökat i Sveriges sedan dess. Lösningen på problemet är inte att gå tillbaka till rutinmässig avmaskning av alla hästar; man måste i stället utveckla alternativa hållbara metoder som komplement till avmaskningsmedel. Syftet med detta projekt är att a) undersöka övervintring av S. vulgaris larver på betet b) utvärdera en rovsvamp som fångar parasitära larver i träckhögarna på betet c) utvärdera kliniska markörer för migrerande larver av S. vulgaris. Det är avgörande för framtiden att hitta långsiktigt hållbara rutiner för parasitkontroll utan att det samtidigt leder till ökade parasitskador. Resultaten från detta projekt kan komma att bidra till nya metoder för både kontroll och diagnostik av blodmaskar.

A primary reason for unhealthy legs and claws are unsuitable floor properties in dairy houses,
which may result in slippery floors and slip injuries to cows and mastitis.
The hygiene of a floor surface and floor properties affect the cow claw/floor interaction and gait.
The aim is to determine an …

Knowledge of disease development in wheat is a prerequisite for good advice on economically and environmentally
adapted control strategies. This project is based on knowledge from a previous SLF project about molecular detection
and spore traps, which showed that the different spore traps catch …

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 …

Disease and production disturbances in a herd are often silent, and may cause major losses if they remain undetected. Continuous analysis and monitoring of data already recorded at the farm level can improve profitability. This project will develop methods for monitoring trends in production and …

Correct assessment of hind limb lameness is a challenge, also for most experienced vets. This causes incorrect diagnoses and faulty treatment interventions which lead to unnecessary suffering for the horses and an unnecessary financial burden for owners and insurance companies. The aim of this …

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 …
