The intention of this study is to investigate possible excitation on dogs due to buprenorphine treatment. The reason for it to be about buprenorphine and not any other opioid is due to its relevance being one of the most popular opioids in animal care, as well as the authors own experience with what seems to be buprenorphine induced excitation in her own dog. The study consists of a literature review and an internet based survey containing thirty questions sent out to twelve animal clinics and animal hospitals. Significant agitative effects on behavior has been found in studies on horses, Sheep, goats, rats and mice, but no one shows the effects of buprenorphine on dogs. The literature on opiod effects on dog behavior seems sparse.

The purpose of this work was to see if it was possible to rebuild an old dairy house into a house fore Sheep production. The goals fore the work was to see witch kind of production model was suitable, how the actual drawing would look like and witch kind of interior was needed. The building was built in the beginning of 1900. It is located on the mountain Kinnekulle in Sweden. It was a big production fore its time and hade about 60 dairy cows. It was a lot of hard work because the floor was built by big stone blocks and it was very hard to rebuild when some more automatic solutions came fore handling all the manure. The idea of remaking the building came when we rebuilt the roof fore 5 years ago.

Worldwide consumption of cheese has increased over the years. The average Swede consumes somewhere around 20 kilograms of cheese per year, which is an increase of a 100 % over the past 50 years. One of the most popular kinds of cheese during the past decades is mozzarella, due to its? use as pizza cheese. Flavor and consistency differ between the traditional kind, made out of buffalo?s milk, and the industrially made kind, made out of cow?s milk.

Hälta är ett vanligt hälsoproblem hos får och är i de flesta fall relaterat till klövarna. Flertalet diagnoser förekommer där fotröta, orsakad av bakterien Dichelobacter nodusus, sannolikt är den mest fruktade och bekymmersamma. Då ett får blir halt krävs först och främst en korrekt ställd diagnos för att kunna vidta relevanta åtgärder. Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka kunskapen hos svenska fårägare och veterinärer gällande förmågan att ställa korrekt diagnos på vanliga klövsjukdomar hos får, samt att se om utbildning i ämnet ökar kunskapen. Studien baserades på en webbenkät i vilken de svarande fick bedöma foton av sex olika sjukliga förändringar.

The objective of this essay is, from the golf perspective including the golf courses' physical attributes, golf club management, members of the golf club and golf course designers, to explore possibilities for making existing golf courses more multifunctional. The purpose of this is to increase the understanding for golf courses' role as part of the landscape and comprehension regarding possible opportunities around them to exploit and develop.The increased pressure of population in peri-urban areas has resulted in a greater need for accessible recreation, particularly in the isolated farmland. As a result, land is sometimes used against landowners' will, which is a deficiency that is the basis for many conflicts between farmers and landowners.In the current situation, there is a negative trend in golf with reduced interest and fewer golfers than in the past. As a result, many of Sweden's golf courses have financial problems and are therefore trying to find new ways to avoid bankruptcy. Sweden's existing golf courses occupy about 30 000 hectares of land, of which a very large percentage are located in peri-urban areas.

The focus of the thesis is: how conditions for agriculture in the Republic of Macedonia today may form the basis for development of the agricultural sector towards conditions needed for future accession into the European Union. The method for investigating this question has been to look at newly available farm monitoring system (FMS) data from Macedonia. Also to look at the latest government policies created in the country for the agricultural sector and rural areas in relation to the requirements for EU accession. Articles and empirical studies published by other authors related to the questions which arise in this study have been reviewed and presented herein. Trade relations, trade patterns and national economic and agricultural trends are displayed to provide a background overview for the study of the agricultural sector.

Live exports of animals began during the late 19th century and are nowadays a valuable alternative to the slaughter industry in Australia. About four million Sheep and half a million to one million cattle are exported annually from Australia to the Middle East and Southeast Asia. Most of these animals are exported for slaughter, but some cattle are exported with the purpose of breeding. One factor that has been the driving force for the live export industry is that countries through tariffs and other barriers have favored the import of live animals rather than the import of meat.The export means that animals with a great cognitive ability are exposed to a long chain of production from the farm to the market and there are many factors that can affect the welfare of the animals in a negative way. Some of the most serious are high temperatures and a high stocking density, although seasickness, noises and handling can also have a negative impact on the welfare of animals.

Värdet av att beta naturbetesmark är stort, både för den biologiska mångfalden men även för bevarandet av öppna kulturlandskap med stora rekreations- och kulturhistoriska värden. Då naturbeten är permanenta beten måste parasitsmitta av inälvsparasiter på betet förebyggas för att inte bli ett problem. Problem som kan orsakas av parasitangrepp är framför allt försämrad tillväxt hos djuren men även klinisk sjukdom såsom t.ex. diarré eller blodbrist. Förstagångsbetande individer är särskilt känsliga för parasitangrepp och måste därför skyddas från parasitsmitta i möjligaste mån.

Landlocked Tajikistan is situated in Central Asia and is not only the smallest republic of Central Asia, but it is also one of the most mountainous with some of Central Asia?s highest peaks. Tajikistan is currently and historically the most financially disadvantaged country within Soviet Union/Russian territories. Agriculture is the main occupation for more than half of the country?s population. Unfortunately, however, only 7% of Tajikistan is arable land and the agriculture productivity is low.

An uncountable number of companies are present in foreign markets as a result of what we commonly choose to call globalization. This is especially true for Swedish companies traditionally operating on small markets. A company that is about to establish on a new market is faced not only with possibilities but also with challenges and risks. Researchers have found that companies that establish on foreign markets will have to deal with competitors on the national as well as on the global market, and therefore need consider how they globalize their brands. In addition to this, a brand can only reach international success if its message is coherent within and across every single market.

Parasitangrepp är en av de vanligaste och allvarligaste orsakerna till produktionsbortfall hos får och nöt. Akut sjukdom till följd av parasitangrepp uppstår ofta plötsligt och med hög mortalitet. Kroniska parasitangrepp kan vara svåra att upptäcka, då djuren inte alltid uppvisar symptom, men dessa angrepp kan ge följder över en längre tidsperiod med bl.a. nedsatt produktion av mjölk och ull samt sämre tillväxt av lamm och kalvar. Inom modern djurproduktion idag är den primära nematodkontrollen att begränsa antalet infektiösa larver på betet genom strategisk användning av anthelmintikum kombinerat med beteshygien.

Subklinisk mastit (juverinflammation utan synliga symtom) är vanligt hos flera mjölkproducerande arter inklusive får. I kött- och pälsfårbesättningar kan subklinisk mastit ge lägre slaktvikt hos lammen till följd av minskad mjölkproduktion hos tackan. Risken att lammen försöker dia en annan tacka ökar om de inte blir mätta av sin mammas mjölk. Eftersom de flesta mastiter är bakteriellt orsakade kan lammens tjuvdiande vara en potentiell smittväg för juverinfektioner. För att förhindra smittspridning behövs snabba och pålitliga fältmetoder för att detektera juverinfektion. Syftet med studien var att kartlägga förekomsten av juverinfektioner hos tackor med kliniskt friska juver i svenska kött- och pälsfårbesättningar.

Med anledning av vargens (Canis lupus) återetablering i Sverige presenteras och jämförs de boskapsvaktande djuren hund (Canis lupus familiaris), lama (Lama glama) och åsna (Equus asinus). Boskapsvaktande djur används sedan länge i många rovdjurstäta länder, men i Sverige används idag främst rovdjurssäkra stängsel för att hindra varg från att riva får (Ovis aries). Stängsel är dock kostsamma och begränsar dessutom betesytan. Under 2006 hade 32 % av fårflockarna i USA hundar, 14 % lamor och 9 % åsnor som vaktdjur. En boskapsvaktande hund måste växa upp i en fårflock för att socialiseras med fåren.

Sheep production is the only animal production in Sweden that is increasing. Therefore,increasing knowledge of the production is of great interest. In order to run a viable Sheepproduction, producers needs to be successful in the breeding of the animals and achievean economic surplus in the end. Lambs that are born healthy and vital have greaterconditions to perform high lamb weight gains and thus a successful production. Thereare many factors affect the survival, birth weight and early weight gain of the new bornlamb.
