Peat use in horticulture is increasingly discussed due to its climate-relevance and the disturbance of mires. At the
same time, peat is the most important, natural horticultural growing media constituent and only a few other organic
constituents have gained acceptance in horticulture, but cannot adequately replace peat in quality and quantity.
Consequently, sustainable development concepts such as wet agriculture (paludiculture) are needed and a new
resource for growing media constituents should be found. Peat mosses (Sphagnum spp.) are in the focus, as they are
the main peat forming plants in bogs and have similar physical, chemical and biological characteristics as the most
common growing media constituent peat. The cultivation of peat mosses (Sphagnum farming), seems to be one of the
most promising alternatives to obtain a sustainable peat substitute.
Användningen av torv vid trädgårdsskötsel diskuteras alltmer p.g.a. torvens klimatpåverkan och torvbrukets påverkan
på myrarnas ekosystem. Samtidigt så är torv det viktigaste, mest använda, naturliga växtsubstratet som tillförs vid
trädgårdsskötsel. De få andra organiska växtsubstraten som finns kan i regel inte ersätta torv i fråga om kvalitet och
speciellt inte när det gäller kvantitet. Därför behövs nya hållbara koncept, som exempelvis paludikultur och att nya mer
klimatvänliga växtodlingssubstrat tas fram. För att nå dessa mål är vitmossor (Sphagnum spp.) i fokus, eftersom de är
de huvudsakliga torvbildande växterna i våra torvmossar. De levande vitmossorna har därmed liknande fysikaliska,
kemiska och biologiska egenskaper, som det vanligaste tillförda växtsubstratet inom trädgårdsskötsel; torv. Odling av
vitmossor, även kallat 'Sphagnum farming', verkar vara en av de mest lovande alternativen för att erhålla ett hållbart
torvsubstitut.

Slippery floors results in falls and injuries which can be fatal. Moreover, on dairy farms slippery floors impede oestrus behaviour and ease of heat detection and as result cause economical losses due to impaired fertility. Grooving is the most common way to treat concrete floors to reduce …

Consumer trends are focused on minimal processing of milk. The new process technologies for heat treatment used in the dairy industry today probably have smaller effects on the nutritional quality and functionality of milk than the older technologies that are the basis for the calculations of …

Global livestock production must be intensified to meet the demand from a growing human population. However, this must not be at the expense of reduced animal health and deteriorated animal welfare. Infection with parasitic worms of ruminants is a major constraint on an efficient pasture-based …

The Swedish poultry industry have been in a major scaleup phase during the last decades, not least in the region of Östergötland. To be able to continue this growth, the industry needs more staff and more young employees with the right competence with the ambition to work in the poultry sector. The …

All horses grazing freely are at risk of parasitic diseases. Due to a growing problem with drug resistance in parasites, there is a need to improve the diagnostic methods. One important problem with today's situation is that one diagnostic procedure costs significantly more than one treatment, both …
