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.

The aim of this project is to investigate individual differences in the rate of passage of feed, feed efficiency, microbial flora and methane production in cows with different ability to consume large proportion of roughage.
Our previous studies show that methane production differs between cows …

Knowledge of disease development in wheat is a prerequisite for good advice on economically and environmentally
adapted control strategies. This project is based on knowledge from a previous SLF project about molecular detection
and spore traps, which showed that the different spore traps catch …

We are facing a protein shift in which a portion of the animal based protein in our diet needs to be replaced by plant proteins to reduce the climate impact from the food sector. Many agricultural by-streams contain high value proteins not used to their full potential. We aim to recover proteins …

Disease and production disturbances in a herd are often silent, and may cause major losses if they remain undetected. Continuous analysis and monitoring of data already recorded at the farm level can improve profitability. This project will develop methods for monitoring trends in production and …

The purpose of the project is to analyse stable cultures in cyberspace in Sweden and Norway. In recent years, questions about the welfare of horses have been debated in social media and norms for horse-keeping are created on Internet. In this project, these norms are conceptualised as stable …

Correct assessment of hind limb lameness is a challenge, also for most experienced vets. This causes incorrect diagnoses and faulty treatment interventions which lead to unnecessary suffering for the horses and an unnecessary financial burden for owners and insurance companies. The aim of this …

Although the equine sector in Sweden has gone through an expansion the last decades, the working methods have not changed. Working conditions must be improved to enable the horse industry to offer safe, sustainable and attractive jobs. The aim is to develop methods and tools for work environment …

Icelandic horses are increasingly popular in Sweden and Norway. Their strength lies in their unique gaits, however, in lame horses this trait becomes a weakness. Evaluating not only lameness but also the leg of origin for lameness in any gait other than trot is exceptionally challenging. Today, we …
