This project aims to create a popular scientific review of the use of leys for livestock. Target groups are the agricultural
sector and industry. The project has five work packages (WP); administration, crop production, harvest and
conservation, feed value for different animals, and economy. The project description defines important aspects, which
will be addressed within each WP. A total of 18 people from SLU, RISE and a consultant firm will work on the report,
and each WP has a leader, who is responsible for delivering material according to time plan. A reference group of
nine people from the agricultural community will follow the project and will assess the progress continuously to make
sure the report has the right focus and becomes useful. An international expert group with researchers from Sweden,
Norway, Finland, Denmark and USA will give input on the international aspects of the report. The report will be written
in English and translated to Swedish before submission.
Projektet går ut på att göra en populärvetenskaplig kunskapssammanställning om vall som fodermedel till djur.
Målgruppen är lantbruksnäringen i Sverige. Projektet har fem delar (WP); administration, växtodling, skörd och
konservering, fodervärde till olika djurslag och ekonomi. Den bifogade projektansökan definierar de viktigaste
aspekterna att ta upp inom varje WP. Totalt 18 personer från SLU, RISE och konsultföretag kommer att skapa
sammanställningen och varje WP har en ledare som ansvarar för att leverera material enligt tidsplan. En
referensgrupp om nio personer med tydligt näringsfokus kommer att löpande träffa projektgruppen och säkerställa att
sammanfattningen har rätt fokus och att den blir användbar. Det kommer även finnas en internationell expertgrupp
ansluten till projektet med forskare från Sverige, Norge, Finland, Danmark och USA, som kan ge synpunkter på det
internationella perspektivet. Sammanställningen kommer att skrivas på engelska och översättas till svenska.
