The most recent carbon footprint of Swedish pig production was presented in 2009, and no full LCA have been published in 15 years. In recent years major improvements have occurred in Swedish pig production and an updated environmental profile for Swedish pork is needed. The project will identify what impact the production improvements and the influence of good animal health have had on the environmental profile of Swedish pork. The potential of using more by-products will be evaluated and the impact on environmental profile will be analysed. Possibilities to quantify antibiotic use within the LCA frame will be assessed. The results will give pig producers and advisory services updated environmental profiles for Swedish pork which will enable discussion and work with "hot-spots" to raise the competitiveness. The research will yield a basis for marketing of Swedish pork for food industry, public procurers, consumers and society in general resulting in an increased demand of Swedish pork
Det senaste klimatavtrycket för svenskt griskött publicerades år 2009 och representativa LCA-studier av svensk grisproduktion saknas. De senaste åren har det skett en snabb utveckling inom grisproduktionen som sannolikt minskat miljöavtrycket. Projektet kommer att identifiera vad de förbättrade produktionsresultat betyder för miljö- och klimatprestanda samt tydliggöra vad en förbättrad djurhälsa betyder. Projektet kommer att utvärdera potentialen att öka nyttjandet av biprodukter. Möjligheten att kvantifiera antibiotikaanvändning som komplement till LCA kommer att undersökas. Resultaten kommer att ge producenter och rådgivare aktuell information om svensk gris vilket ger möjlighet till fortsatt diskussion och arbete med "hot-spots" för att kunna höja konkurrenskraften. Resultaten kan användas som marknadsföringsunderlag för kommunikation till industri, handel, offentliga upphandlare, konsumenter och samhället och därmed leda till ökad efterfrågan på svenskt griskött.

Young horses can develop cervical vertebral stenotic myelopathy and ataxia, known as "wobbler syndrome" and associated with loss of breeding value, reduced athletic potential and euthanasia. Some wobblers have osteochondrosis of their vertebral facet joints, but it is now known how this relates to …

Just going to the bathroom is contributing to algae blooms and climate change. Sweden alone releases roughly 15400 tonnes of N and 240 tonnes of P into lakes, rivers and seas, through municipal wastewater (including after treatment). Urine contains 80% of the plant nutrients found in wastewater and …

Heat stress is expected to be of major concern in Swedish animal production systems in the future. The air temperatures in parts of Sweden are expected to correspond to today's temperatures in southern Europe, where livestock experience heat stress today. Excessive thermal load affects the welfare …
