Harness racing is hazardous as horses are running in close proximity at high speeds. Thus, an effective communication between driver and jockey-horse via rein signals to the bit is essential for safety reasons and horse welfare. However, scientific studies on rein tension in Standardbred trotters during training and racing are lacking. Thus, our project aims to measure rein tension during standardised tests to determine the variation and thresholds that reflect responses to rein signals and relate those to horse behaviour and stress levels. Moreover, we will investigate the effect of rein tension on soft tissue damage in the horse's mouth. Results will serve as a solid base for informed discussions and education of all personnel involved in the Harness racing inductry and equestrian sports. Through an increased knowledge transfer of the effects of rein tension on the horse and how it learns to respond to it, accidents can be prevented and horse welfare safeguarded.
Travsport är riskfylld, eftersom hästarna springer nära varandra i hög hastighet. Därför är en effektiv kommunikation mellan kusk/jockey och häst, via signaler från töm och tygel till bett, oumbärlig ur säkerhetssynpunkt och hästens välfärd. Trots detta saknas vetenskapliga studier om töm- och tygeltryck hos travhästar. Målet med projektet är därför att fastställa variationen i töm- och tygeltryck hos travhästar under träning och lopp, dess relation till hästens
beteende, stressnivå, skador på mjukvävnaden i hästens mun, och kör-/ridbarhet. Resultaten kan användas som en stabil grund för såväl insatta diskussioner, som för utbildning av all inom travsport verksam personal och för alla som tar över en travhäst för vidare ridutbildning. Via en ökad kunskap av effekten av töm- och tygeltryck på hästen och hur den lär sig, kan olyckor förhindras och hästens välfärd säkerställas.

All horses grazing freely are at risk of parasitic diseases. Due to a growing problem with drug resistance in parasites, there is a need to improve the diagnostic methods. One important problem with today's situation is that one diagnostic procedure costs significantly more than one treatment, both …

The sensory attributes of the raw milk are of major importance for the quality of the resulting dairy products. Since the early 90’ies, the so-called “blueberry off-flavour” has caused severe economic consequences for affected dairy farmers. The mechanism behind is still unclear, although forages …
