What has happened in the LivdID programme since the start? Let us give you a few interesting updates!
Half-time presenation on storage stability of Swedish apples
Joakim Sjöstrand (Äppelriket) gave his half time presentation in November 2020. The project is about improving storage stability of Swedish apples, so they can be available during the whole year.
New article on udder inflammation indicators
A new article on udder inflammation has been published from the program- congratulation to John and his team from DeLaval, SLU and Wageningen University
Tinder for cows - Halftime seminar
Christian Bengtsson (VikingGenetics) will have his halftime seminar of the project “Tinder for cows” (March 18, 10.30). If you are interested, contact volkmar.passoth@slu.se to get a zoom link.
Tinder for cows - press release
A press release about "Tinder for cows" have been released and och Veterinärmagazinet has already written an articlle.
Annual meeting - Thursday 10 Dec 2020
The 10th of December, the annual meeting was held via Zoom. The PhD students presented what has been done in their respective projects during the year. Please contact Volkmar Passoth if you would like to know more: volkmar.passoth@slu.se, phone: 018-67 33 80.
Research Gate
We have now established a project in Research Gate where you can find the publications generated in the frame of the LivsID-project.
Half time presentation
William English at SLU in Alnarp recently had his half time presentation. In his project, parameters of the storage of sugar beets are studied, with the final aim to reduce total sugar losses during storage under current and future storage scenarios. The link between the mechanical properties of sugar beets and the rates of damage and storage losses were studied as part of an international collaboration, finding stronger beets generally suffer less damage during harvest and handling, and ultimately less storage losses. Ongoing work looks at the thermodynamics of sugar beet clamps and in particular the movement of air, using computer modelling and controlled trials focused on the drying effects of different air volumes. See his presentation here.
The first publications are out now! Congratulations to Christian Bengtsson and Ludwig Lundqvist, their supervisors and the whole team!
