Deep litter for sheep - plant nutrients and comparion of bedding materials The aim of the project was to quantify the plant nutrient content and nutrient losses of two types of deep litter (cereal straw and reed canary grass) used in Swedish lamb production.
Use of whole crop forages for more home-grown feed The aim of this project is to provide information for dairy based systems that are based on home grown crops and by-products.
Different fertilizing regimes for peat/oat whole crop forage The aim of the project is to find an optimal level of nitrogen fertilisation for whole crop harvests of pea/oat mixtures.
Reed canary grass We have had several projects with reed canary grass over the years.
Spring turnip rapeseed - a field study A study was made at farms in Västerbotten and Norrbotten to see how they produce spring turnip rape seed.
AnimalSense AnimalSense is a Botnia Atlantica-project within the EU InterReg program.
Phytoestrogens in red clover varieties In 2012, eight, and in 2014, twelve red clover varieties were sampled to measure their content of different phytoestrogens. There were significant differences between the varieties.
Winter lambing – animal welfare, working environment and building functionality Ten farms were visited during the winters 2012/13 and 2013/14. Registrations were made on animals, feeds, bedding, air quality, temperature, etc. The aim was to see how we can manage lambing in uninsulated sheep houses in winter - how animal welfare and lambing result is affected, how to avoid frozen water, how to cope with the cold yourself, etc.
Comparison of seed mixtures for sheep pasture Four mixtures of pasture crops were sown 2010 and grazed 2011, with a second grazing year 2012.
Protein feeds for lamb production There is an increasing interest for locally produced protein feeds. A literature review was made to find research results in the area that are relevant for Swedish sheep production.
