Insect bite hypersensitivity (IBH) associated with Culicoides biting midges is the most common allergic skin disease in
horses, seriously reducing welfare of affected horses. The main symptom is severe pruritus, with risk of self-infected
open wounds. The choice for treatment and prevention of this common distressing disease remains a major challenge
for the veterinary profession and horse owners, as there is little evidence-based research for disease management.
While the understanding of the disease at a genetic and immunological level has improved in recent years, studies on
how IBH affects animal welfare and the behaviour of affected animals are lacking, and the welfare of affected animals
would benefit greatly from scientifically-based guidelines for improved prophylaxis and treatment. The aims of this
project are to investigate the effect of IBH in animal welfare and behaviour and to examine the effect of repellent
collars in the prevention of symptoms in IBH susceptible horses.
Sommareksem är en allvarlig kronisk hudinflammation som orsakas av en överkänslighet mot saliv från bitande
insekter, framför allt Culicoides spp (svidknott). Sjukdomen är vanligt förekommande samt medicinskt svårbehandlad.
Profylaktiska åtgärder är avgörande för att förebygga och lindra symptomen. Trots att sjukdomen påverkar hästens
välbefinnande saknas det fortvarande studier kring hur stort lidande sjukdomen medför drabbade hästar.
Dessutom finns det endast få studier som undersökt hur knottangrepp kan förhindras och därmed hur man kan
förebygga sjukdomen. Det finns två mål med denna studie: 1) att dokumentera hur sommareksem påverkar hästens
välfärd ur djurskyddssynpunkt och 2) att undersöka hur knottangrepp kan förhindras. Studien skall prova en ny metod
för att förhindra knottangrepp och undersöka om det ökar hästarnas välbefinnande: ett insektsrepellerande halsband
med repellerande doftämnen istället av kemiska insekticider.

The aim of this project is to optimize management decisions in large dairy herds by integrating systematic on-farm experimentation into advanced dairy herd management systems, i.e. an evolutionary management system. Systematic experimentation is a way to detect and estimate the effects of changing …

The ability of milk to coagulate is crucial for cheese production. We have previously shown that 31% of milk from SR cows has problem to coagulate: 13% is poorly coagulating and as much as 18% is non-coagulating, which are alarming high figures. The problem with non-coagulating milk at national …
