  1. 1. Heritability of methane emission in Swedish Red cattle in northern Sweden

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Breeding and Genetics

    Author : Lucy Chipondoro; [2024]
    Keywords : methane emission; heritability; swedish Red cattle; dairy cow;

    Abstract : Dairy cattle contribute a significant proportion of greenhouse gases (GHG), mainly methane (CH4), among other livestock species. Methane has a negative impact on climate; therefore, its reduction is a top priority for a sustainable dairy production system. READ MORE

  3. 2. Analys av startstatus hos varmblodiga ridhästar

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Breeding and Genetics

    Author : Ylva Blom; [2023]
    Keywords : SWB; startstatus; arvbarheter; genetiska korrelationer;

    Abstract : Avelsmålet för den svenska varmblodiga ridhästen, SWB, är att producera ”en ädel, korrekt och hållbar varmblodshäst som genom sitt prestationsinriktade temperament, sin ridbarhet, goda rörelse- och/eller hoppförmåga är internationellt konkurrenskraftig”. I avelsvärderingen för SWB används idag resultat från unghästbedömning samt livstids ackumulerade poäng från tävling. READ MORE

  4. 3. Genetiska defekter hos svenskt varmblod och islandshäst- hur hanteras de i avelsprogrammen?

I denna litteraturstudie undersöks hur kunskapen om arvbarhet för vanliga sjukdomar påverkar avelsplanerna för det svenska varmblodet respektive islandshästen. READ MORE

  5. 4. Multi-environment Screening of Timothy (Phleum pratense) Breeding Material for Better Forage Yield in Sweden.

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Plant Breeding (from 130101)

    Author : Ibrahim Issa; [2022]
    Keywords : Phleum pratense; Multi-Environment; Forage yield; Sweden; Genotype-by-environment interaction Swedish;

    Abstract : Timothy (Phleum pratense) is one of the most widely used forage crops in hay and pasture grass mixtures in Nordic countries; it’s also used in areas where it is one of the top forage crops harvested high yield, especially in boreal climates. There hasn’t been any large-scale breeding of Timothy to develop varieties that are adapted for Swedish climate and standards, which is surprising given that Timothy is the main forage crop used in Sweden.
