Farm-based education for food system transformation
(Master thesis, 2022)Food systems education is being studied as a “vital strategy” in transforming the current food system paradigm away from globalization and industrialization and towards a system which enables community-level food sovereignty, ... -
Farm-to-table in the Albuquerque region : a case study at Los Poblanos Historic Inn & Organic Farm
(Master thesis, 2017)This report explores a “Farm-to-Table” restaurant business model, using Los Poblanos Historic Inn & Organic Farm as a single-focus for this exploratory case study. Los Poblanos is chosen for this study due to their dedication ... -
Farming as dialogue with the land – Exploring experiences and perspectives of Norwegian, biodynamic farmers
(Master thesis, 2024)Modern agriculture, including many alternative farming movements, tends to hold views that maintain a reductionistic and materialistic understanding of the world. This thesis explores perspectives and experiences in ... -
Fatty acid composition and gene expression in the third generation of Atlantic salmon families selected for high and low capacity of omega3 fatty acid synthesis
(Master thesis, 2017)The major aim of this thesis was to study offspring (the third generation) of Atlantic salmon selected by high and low EPA and DHA synthesis capacity (according to high and low d6dB expression level in liver) have differences ... -
Fatty acid specificity of skin phospholipid subclasses and the response to dietary reduction of EPA and DHA in Atlantic salmon ( Salmo salar)
(Master thesis, 2016-08-16)Abstract The different phospholipid classes play a critical role in cell membrane structure and function. Skin is the first barrier for the animal body to prevent environmental damage and are in addition to the gills also ... -
Fear response and social interactions in dairy goat housed in three different densities during pregnancy
(Master thesis, 2012-09-06)Farm animals are social and are willing to work for access to social companions. To separate and isolate animals from each other is a strong stressor, and will induce fear. The fear of novel and fear-eliciting situations ... -
Feasibility of using rare earth elements (REEs) to mark and identify escaped farmed Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.)
(Master thesis, 2014-02-11)The development of a marking technique which could be efficiently used to mass-mark different groups of salmonids, would be a great tool for fisheries and aquaculture management. The present study was conducted in order ... -
Feed intake, milk yield and variation in the reticulo-rumen pH with Norwegian Red dairy cows given access to concentrate feeds differing in the level of local ingredients
(Master thesis, 2023)When trying to achieve a higher degree of self-sufficiency, there is a challenge with the high starch levels in grain and the Norwegian climate, which is not particularly well adapted to the cultivation of oil crops. To ... -
Feed intake, nutrient digestibility, growth performance and general health of piglets fed increasing levels of yeast
(Master thesis, 2017)In Norway, the climatic conditions and limited agricultural area impedes production of protein-rich plant-feedstuff, leading to the current dependency of import of soybeans. Norway has large forest areas, which constitute ... -
Feed quaility for improved survival and robustness of cleaner fish
(Master thesis, 2014-02-19)The aim of study was to improve the quality of moist feed for Ballan wrasse with use of different binders and inclusion level of the binders, as well as optimizing the immersion bath to improve gelling of alginate. Quality ... -
Feed structure : effects on physical quality of the feed, chemical status of the feed and nutritional consequence
(Master thesis, 2013-10-21)Two experiments were conducted to study effects of grinding and pelleting on feed structure using either wheat or maize as a base ingredients. In experiment 1, four diets were formulated to contain either completely ground ... -
Feeding behaviour of dairy cows fed a diet with protein derived from yeast (Candida utilis) compared with diets containing soybean meal and barley
(Master thesis, 2020)Norwegian Red dairy cows (NRF) are fed mainly roughage, with supplemented concentrate feed to increase milk production. Concentrate feed contains approximately 50 % nationally sourced ingredients, while the rest are imported, ... -
Feeding East Africa : are genetically modified crops part of the solution?
(Master thesis, 2017)The African continent is faced with enormous challenges of poverty, hunger and food insecurity, which is exacerbated by climatic and environmental change, and a rapidly increasing population; and in the midst of it all is ... -
