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 …

A primary reason for unhealthy legs and claws are unsuitable floor properties in dairy houses,
which may result in slippery floors and slip injuries to cows and mastitis.
The hygiene of a floor surface and floor properties affect the cow claw/floor interaction and gait.
The aim is to determine an …

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 …
