Just going to the bathroom is contributing to algae blooms and climate change. Sweden alone releases roughly 15400 tonnes of N and 240 tonnes of P into lakes, rivers and seas, through municipal wastewater (including after treatment). Urine contains 80% of the plant nutrients found in wastewater and can be used as a fertilizer instead. At SLU, we have developed a revolutionary technology that converts >90% of the nutrients from urine into a dry fertilizer. The aim of the project is to produce a tailored fertilizer from urine and a new, more sustainably produced, beer that tastes exactly the same as the conventional beer. We will also validate the scalability of nutrient recycling through large-scale beer production. We have partnered with Spiran, a toilet rental company on Gotland, to collect and treat urine > 30 m3 of urine to grow barley as well as with Gotlands Bryggeri (daughter company to Spendrups) to produce a new sustainable beer.
När vi går på toaletten bidrar vi till algblomningar och klimatförändringar. Enbart Sverige släpper ut cirka 15400 ton N och 240 ton P till sjöar, floder och hav genom kommunalt avloppsvatten (efterbehandling). Urin innehåller 80% av växtnäringsämnena som finns i avloppsvattnet och kan användas som gödningsmedel istället. På SLU har vi utvecklat en revolutionerande teknik som omvandlar > 90% av näringsämnena från urinen till ett torrt koncentrerat gödningsmedel. Målet med projektet är att producera ett skräddarsytt gödselmedel från urin och ett nytt, mer hållbart producerat öl som smakar exakt detsamma som det konventionella ölet. Gödselmedlet är skräddarsytt för att tillgodose de specifika behoven för korn avsett för ölproduktion. Spiran, ett toalettuthyrningsföretag på Gotland, är med i projektet för att samla in och behandla > 30 m3 urin. Den torkade urinen används till att odla korn som används av Gotlands Bryggeri (dotterbolag till Spendrups) för att producera en ny hållbar öl.

Heat stress is expected to be of major concern in Swedish animal production systems in the future. The air temperatures in parts of Sweden are expected to correspond to today's temperatures in southern Europe, where livestock experience heat stress today. Excessive thermal load affects the welfare …

Poultry have a strong motivation for foraging and spend most of the day pecking and searching for food. In commercial conditions, the birds are fed a pellet diet, which is consumed very quickly. Consequently, hens spend a large part of the day engaging in abnormal non-food related pecking …

This application aims at finding a solution to a problem that exists in greenhouse production. Greenhouses have long been considered to be closed systems with no leakage to the surrounding environment. However, it has been shown that plant protection products (PPP) are found in the environment …

This project is about refining grass to meet a demand for proteins for, above all, organic poultry production and an expected increased demand for soy-free feed solutions for monogastric animals. Forage-based products also improve the economic preconditions to increase the proportion of grass in …

While the equine sector in Sweden and Norway provides leisure activities, entertainment and employment for many people of all ages, these come with associated negative effects. Studies of the environmental impacts caused by the sector show that nutrient leakage from manure piles, paddocks and …

The goal with this project is to increase the profitability and production efficiency on Swedish dairy farms by renewing
the genetic evaluation of the breeding value of temperament in dairy cows. We want to investigate if automatic
recordings of behaviour using SLU Gigacow on farm level can improve …

To grow with reduced use of glyphosate is of great concern driven by the requirements for integrated pest management, the risk of herbicide resistance and a potential coming ban on glyphosate. It requires balancing between environmental effects and impact on yield and economy. The project's goal is …

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 …
