Every year, about 500,000 claw trimmings are recorded in Swedish dairy cattle. The aim of claw trimming is to detect, treat and prevent painful claw lesions. However, the claw trimming in itself can be harmful and cause claw lesions if it is not done correctly. The aim of the project is to develop evidence-based standards for claw trimming, adjusted to current technology and housing systems, and to develop a quality control routine. The project includes lab studies of the claw trimming effects on claw biomechanics in relation to trimming manner and flooring, epidemiological studies of long-term clinical effects of different trimming methods as well as development of a standard for quality audits of the claw trimming in the field. Robust cows with healthy feet mean better animal welfare, improved economy and better competitiveness for dairy producers. The project is a result of collaboration between SLU and Växa Sverige within the framework of Växa's quality assured claw care.
Varje år registreras och rapporteras runt 500 000 klövverkningar på mjölkkor i Sverige. Syftet med klövvård är att i tid upptäcka, behandla och förebygga smärtsamma klövskador. Dock kan klövverkning i sig orsaka klövskador om den inte görs korrekt. Målet med projektet är att utveckla evidensbaserade standarder för klövverkning, med anpassning till dagens teknologi och inhysningssystem, samt utveckla rutiner för kvalitetskontroll. Projektet omfattar laboratoriestudier av klövverkningens effekter på klövarnas biomekanik i relation till verkningsmetod och underlag, epidemiologisk undersökning av långsiktiga kliniska effekter av olika verkningsmetoder, samt utveckling av en standard för kvalitetskontroll av verkning i fält. Korrekt verkade, välmående, hållbara kor innebär bättre djurvälfärd, förbättrad ekonomi och bättre konkurrenskraft för mjölkföretag. Projektet är ett samarbete mellan SLU och Växa Sverige, inom ramen för Växas verksamhet för kvalitetssäkrad klövvård.

The basis for sustainable dairy production is set in the newborn heifer calf. Earlier research has demonstrated that weight gain and health during early life influence the adult calf's production capacity, partly an effect of nutrition. Probably the microbiota in the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) …

A recent published study (Rytter et al., 2011) points to the large poplar biomass production in short time, but knowledge of management practices lacks for Nordic conditions. Individual landowners have little help or guidance in selecting the optimal time for harvesting or planting density in …

We are currently evaluating the effectiveness of grass buffer strips (GBS-eff) for nutrient retention. Today, there are no obligations to cut or remove the grass on GBS which may lead to phosphorus (P) saturation. In the on-going field experiments we are testing if removal (harvesting) the grass …

Lime is known to have many positive effects, some of which can be unexpected. The proposed study will measure the effects of carbonate lime (CaCO3) and mixed lime (CaCO3 and Ca(OH)2) on all crops in a rotation (cereal, oilseed rape, canning peas, potatoes). The combined effects of liming on soil …

In an ongoing project, funded by SLF, examines the effect of sowing time and seed rate on yield. Two field trials were established in autumn 2014 respectively 2015 in Skåne and Östergötland. Now we are looking for funding to expand the project with a third trial year. Two years is too short time to …
