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.

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 …

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 …
