We aim to continue an ongoing study to increase knowledge of cattle locomotion on different floors, how they work in practice and what the long term consequences are for welfare and for farmers´ economy. For that purpose advanced biomechanical methods will be used to assess dairy cows´ manoeuvrability and slipping experimentally. The best adaptable and informative variables from the locomotion laboratory will then be used to evaluate possible flooring solutions to reduce slipperiness in practice on dairy farms. By epidemiological methods and data from Swedish milk recording scheme, the long term effects of different flooring improvements on welfare, health, fertility and longevity will be assessed retrospectively. Finally, the farmers´ decision making and economy of improved flooring solutions will be evaluated as base for the judgement of which is the optimal flooring solutions for new as well as for renovated barns with both animal welfare and farmers´ economy in mind.
Vi avser att öka kunskapen om hur nötkreatur rör sig på olika golvytor, hur de fungerar i praktiken och de långsiktiga konsekvenserna för olika golvlösningar för djurvälfärd och ekonomi. Med hjälp av avancerade biomekaniska metoder kommer först mjölkkors rörelser vid manövrering och halkningar att analyseras under kontrollerade laboratorieförhållanden. De mest informativa variablerna från laboratorieförsöket kommer sedan att studeras i bruksbesättningar under fältförhållanden för att utvärdera olika åtgärder för att förbättra golvens friktion och minska halkrisken. En epidemiologisk studie kommer därefter att undersöka effekten av hur olika golvlösningar påverkar djurvälfärd, hälsa, fertilitet och hållbarhet. Slutligen kommer företagets beslutsfattande och de ekonomiska konsekvenserna av förbättrad golvkvalitet att studeras. Resultaten kommer att utgöra underlag för bedömning av optimala underlag vid ny- och ombyggnation för både djurvälfärd och företagets ekonomi.

This interdisciplinary project examines how Swedish dairy farmers, given different types of policy instruments, are affected by the ongoing structural transformation in the primary production. The study will improve our understanding about how the ongoing structural change affects profitability in …

Cereal production is limited by many different factors. Leaf diseases are often well known, while diseases on roots are more difficult to identify. Root diseases are often caused by oomycetes, fungus-like microorganisms that live for years in soil and on old root debris, parasitizing the roots of …

Feeding protein supplements is advantageous because of a positive response in milk production. Rapeseed meal has given better production responses on a protein basis than soybean meal, but its supply is not sufficient to meet the requirements of dairy production. Red clover is one alternative to …
