To succeed, and make money at your animal production you need to feed your animals with high quality fodder. Other condition to succeed is that you keep your production costs at a minimum. To be able to produce baled silage at a low cost it?s very important that the bales have a high density. Density is measured in kg dry matter (DM) per cubic meter. The purpose with this report was to learn more about making silage in round bales and to how much the bale density varies between different brands of round balers.

Energy is an essential part of the society and for a sustainable future we need to use the energy resources in a sustainable way. The forest is Sweden?s most important resource for renewable energy and a higher production combined with shorter rotation periods (time from planting to clear cutting) can increase the access to energy. The tree genus poplar (Populus spp.) is interesting as energy resource as it has both high production and short rotation period. But browsing ungulates are a major threat to the establishment of poplar plants and therefore the poplar plantations need to be fenced in today. To use fences is expensive and time consuming; this makes it interesting to find more cost-effective solutions where there is no need to fence. The aim with this study was to look at the ungulates? occupation rate and browsing pressure in poplar plantations without fence.

It is possible to affect the feed costs in different ways. By steeping or fermentation the digestibility of the feed is improved for the animals with a natural process in the wet feeding system Steeping means that the feed is soaked some hours before feeding. This process activatesenzymes and improves the digestibility of for example phosphorus in the feed and make it more accessible to the animal. Wet feeding can be fermented or not. Fermentationmeans that the feed has been soaked for a certain length of time so that a biological process is started.

Familjen Hjörne har sedan 1926 varit Västsveriges dominerande mediefamilj. Under tre generationer har familjen i stort sett haft monopol på tidningsmakande i Göteborg och ägt, drivit och skrivit i Göteborgs-Posten. Under 2000-talet har familjen expanderat sitt tidningsägande och genom bildandet av mediekoncernen Stampen kan de idag titulera sig Sveriges största ägare av dagstidningar. Idag har familjen ett tidningsägande som inte bara går tre generationer tillbaka, utan som geografiskt sträcker sig från Halland i söder till Dalarna i norr. Sammanlagt kontrollerar familjen Hjörne 16 % av den svenska dagstidningsmarknaden (Sundin 2011).

I denna studie har jag tittat närmare på värdena för rådata i skörd av spannmål, genom att utvärdera skördekartering från tre olika fält, två fält på Sannarps egendom och ett fält på Nya Fjällalunda gård. Gårdarna ligger i Halland utanför Falkenberg och Sannarp AB står för driften av båda enheterna. De skördekarterade grödor som ingår i studien är foderkorn, rågvete samt höstvete. Studien har gått till på det viset att i de tre fälten har två provytor belägna nära en markarteringspunkt valts ut. I provytorna har rådata lästs ut från skördedata och sedan jämförts med medelvärdet för fältet.

The European history of bath has its roots in the Greek culture about 2500 years ago. In every Greek town was situated at least one center of culture, a gymnasium, that contained bath establishements, areas for physical training, restaurants, librarys and readingrooms. Already 400 B.C. Hippokrates, founder of the art of healing, spoke for the waters important qualities in medical treatements. After the Greeks the Romans overtook and maintained the polished manners of bathing, and thanks to them the culture spread to the north of Europe. During the middleages the art of swimming was well respected among soldiers and knights, and was frequently practised in tournament games and competitions. At the same time the bathhouses were developed in the towns of Europe.
