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.

Brachyspira pilosicoli causes spirochetal diarrhea resulting in reduced growth and great economic losses in pig herds. The disease is treated with antibiotics but today we see an increased incidence of antibiotic resistance in the bacteria, which may lead to difficulties to treat the disease in the …

Slippery floors results in falls and injuries which can be fatal. Moreover, on dairy farms slippery floors impede oestrus behaviour and ease of heat detection and as result cause economical losses due to impaired fertility. Grooving is the most common way to treat concrete floors to reduce …

During recent decades the area with brushwood has increased in the Swedish rural landscape. A study has shown that the annual harvest of brushwood for fuel purposes could amount to about 6 TWh. Some advantages with the utilization of brushwood as fuel are that the growth areas do not compete with …
