The carbon footprint for ruminants is high compared to other food products of animal origin but grazing animals such
as beef and lamb have other positive effects on the environment such as increased biodiversity and carbon
sequestration. Beef- and lamb producers need clear guidelines on how to adapt production to reach the target of a
climate neutral production and simultaneously increase added values such as biodiversity and carbon sequestration.
The purpose of the project is to develop these guidelines and update the environmental footprint for different
production types in beef and lamb production. The results from the project will increase the level of knowledge of
producers, advisers and the industry about the environmental footprint for beef and lamb production and how
production can be directed towards reduced environmental footprint. The results shall also lead to motivate the choice
of Swedish meat at retail-, restaurant-, consumer- and public sector level.
Klimatavtrycket för idisslare är det högsta bland animalier men betande djur som nöt och lamm har andra positiva
effekter på miljön såsom biologisk mångfald och kolinlagring. Nöt och lammproducenter behöver tydliga riktlinjer för
hur de ska anpassa produktionen för att komma närmare målet "klimatneutral produktion" och samtidigt öka positiva
mervärden såsom biologisk mångfald och kolinlagring utan att det blir målkonflikter. Syftet med projektet är att ta fram
dessa riktlinjer och samtidigt uppdatera miljöavtrycket för olika produktionsgrenar inom nöt och lammproduktion.
Projektets resultat ska öka kunskapsnivån hos producenter, rådgivare och bransch om miljöavtrycket för nöt och
lammproduktion och hur produktionen kan inriktas mot minskat avtryck för att bidra till att de svenska och
internationella miljömålen nås. Resultaten ska också leda till att motivera att välja svenskt kött hos handel, restaurang,
konsument och inom offentliga måltider.

Wheat bran is the largest by-product of wheat flour production with approximately 300,000 tonnes in Sweden. Bran is mainly used in animal feed, as human digestion is not fully able to absorb it. Wheat bran contains valuable biomolecules, such as dietary fiber (arabinoxylans, AX) and phenolic …

Competing unshod is an important issue for the Swedish harness industry. There is a general opinion that performance may increase significantly but it does not always work. The reason for failure may be disturbed locomotion “balance” of the horse or due to pain from the hooves. This is obviously …

The purpose of this project is to define the amount of slaked lime needed for a given clay soil. We hypothesise that the amount of slaked lime needed for minimal phophorus loss is dependent on the clay content of the soil. The study will be conducted in a field with a drainage system and measuring …

Resistance to anthelmintic drugs is a threat to equine welfare. Like antibiotics, is restrictive use of anthelmintics necessary to retain their effectivity. Thus, targeted selective treatment, based on individual deworming, was introduced a decade ago. However, we have shown that the prevalence of, …

Acquired equine polyneuropathy (AEP) is a devastating neurologic disease affecting Nordic horses. Characteristic histopathological changes have been shown in the peripheral nerves of horses euthanized due to the disease. These include re- and demyelination as well as hypertrophy of perikaria and …

Increased production and export of products with high added values, e.g. long-ripened hard cheeses, are considered important steps for a positive development of the Swedish dairy sector. Increased investment in Swedish premium cheese will, however, require increased volumes of high quality raw milk …

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 …
