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.

Climate projections for Sweden indicate higher temperatures during summer and larger variability in precipitation between years. This poses enormous challenges for Swedish agriculture. The main aim of this project is to investigate relationships between soil management, soil quality and crop yield. …

About 200 dairy farms in Sweden use recycled manure solids (RMS) as bedding material and the number is increasing. Advantages is low price, reliable availability and good cow comfort. The main disadvantage is the risk of increased bacterial growth on the lying area affecting especially udder health …

The project aims are to use the information about cow's DNA profile to estimate the severity of fertility problems caused by specific genetic defects in the Swedish Red (SRB) and Holstein dairy breeds, and to estimate the economic impact of pregnancy losses caused by these genetic defects. Our goal …

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 …

We work with the vision that it possible to reduce herbicide use and completely abandon glyphosate in reduced and no-till systems by promoting soil health and crop vigour through a diverse crop rotation, cover crops and mechanical weed control. In field experiments, we compare innovative glyphosate …

The conversion into a bio-based economy in Sweden requires a broad range of initiatives. One of the challenges is that additional sources of biomass will be needed. High yield potential, low conversion and production costs are critical success factors for new raw material. Salix is an energy crop …

Adding flowers to the cropping system that support beneficial insects is a promising option to achieve crop protection
in Swedish agriculture and horticulture. However, the wide-spread adoption of this approach has been hampered by
limited economic benefit and the risk of propagating pests and …

The project aims to lay the foundation for genomic selection in Swedish beef cattle populations. Genomic selection has revolutionized animal breeding and much increased genetic progress in e.g. dairy cattle. Improved animal breeding increases production efficiency and genomic selection enables …
