Mohairgeit i Norge – muligheter og utfordringer for fremtiden
(Master thesis, 2021)Kulturlandskapet i Norge er i sterk gjengroing. Geiter har et annet beitemønster enn sau og storfe, som er mer egnet til å åpne opp gjengrodde områder. I dag er melkegeiter de vanligste geitene i Norge. Siden markedet for ... -
Moisture level in extruded diets for Atlantic salmon (Salmo Salar)-Effect on physical feed quality, growth performance and feed intake
(Master thesis, 2012-11-08)The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of moisture content on physical quality of extruded pellets such as hardness, DORIS value, water stability, bulk density, length and diameter. The experimental diets were ... -
Molecular analysis of Piscine Reovirus (PRV) vaccine antigens produced in tobacco and lettuce
(Master thesis, 2016)Aquaculture is emerging to be one of the most important food industries in the world, and will be a crucial part of securing food supply for a population expected to reach close to 10 billion by 2050. Norway produced 1.3 ... -
Molecular dissection of the role of plant hormones in perennial shoot branching
(PhD Thesis;2023:17, Doctoral thesis, 2023)Shoot architecture in deciduous trees is determined by the apical meristems and the lateral branching. The formation of above-ground architecture perennials is regulated by a complex spatial-temporal regulation. For decades, ... -
Molecular responses to hypoxia in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar)
(Master thesis, 2017)Hypoxia is a common event in aquatic environment, and it is developed when the consumption of oxygen by organisms in an aquatic system exceeds the supply of oxygen from adjacent layers of water or the atmosphere. Fish react ... -

Molecular studies of Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) globin genes – functional effects of hemoglobin polymorphisms and their geographical distribution
(PhD Thesis;2011:56, Doctoral thesis, 2011)The phenotypic variation among Atlantic cod hemoglobins and their physiological properties has been of great interest to researchers for several decades, and many cod stocks have been “genotyped” according to the HbI ... -
Molekylærgenetisk karakterisering av vernaliseringsrespons i PACMAD-gras
(Master thesis, 2018)Many plants rely on a mechanism called vernalisation response to match reproductive output with favourable environmental conditions. This trait is an important adaptation to seasonal climates, like for example at high ... -
Moratferd i kalvingsbingen
(Master thesis, 2023)Sammendrag Landbrukssektoren er i stort fokus ettersom forbrukerne er mer opptatt av hvor maten kommer fra og dyrevelferden i produksjonssystemene. Ku og kalv skilles fra hverandre i melkeproduksjon, noe som forbrukerne ... -
The more the merrier? : the effect of group size on welfare, production results and carcass traits in fattening pigs
(Master thesis, 2022)Pigs in a commercial setting find themselves in group sizes that deviate from what is observed in the wild. Production pigs also lack the ability to regulate group size in accordance to available resources as they would ... -
Morfologiske trekk og korrelasjoner til atferd hos varmblods ridehest
(Master thesis, 2015-03-10)Menneskers har benyttet seg av hester i mange århundre. De har blitt brukt som transportmiddel, i landbruk, krig, konkurranse, hobby, turkamerat og som terapidyr. Samspill mellom hest og menneske har vært avgjørende for ... -
Morphological and molecular characterization of developing vertebral fusion in altantic salmon (Salmo salar)
(PhD Thesis;2010:26, Doctoral thesis, 2010)Problems with spinal disorders in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) have been increasingly in focus due to the importance of this species in the aquaculture industry. Until recently, the molecular development of spinal deformities ... -
Motivating change agents : influences of visioning on human agency for food system transformation
(Master thesis, 2021)Swift transformation of the food system towards sustainability is important to avoid further transgression of the planetary boundaries. Food system transformation requires altering the fundamental determinants of the system. ... -
Muligheter for økt bruk av beite i norsk storfekjøttproduksjon, og for bruk av storfe til kulturlandskapspleie
(Master thesis, 2016)Siden etterkrigstiden har bruksstørrelsene og besetningsstørrelsene økt betydelig, og samlet antall jordbruksbedrifter og husdyr, i hovedsak storfe, har gått kraftig ned, mens man har opplevd en økning i produktivitet. Fra ... -
Multitrophic effects of the relationship between a plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (Bacillus amyloliquefaciens) and arugula (Eruca sativa) on the predator Doru luteipes, using Plutella xlyostella and Spodoptera frugiperda
(Master thesis, 2018)Background. Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) provide several benefits to plants, such as faster growth, larger yields and resistance to pests. When attacked by herbivores, plants defend themselves in various ... -
Multivariate analyses of milk infrared spectra and predictions from it in dairy cattle populations
(PhD Thesis;2017:65, Doctoral thesis, 2017)Fourier-transform mid-infrared (FT-MIR) spectra of milk is one of the multivariate information routinely recorded by many milk-recording organizations in the world. Use of such information is becoming central to research ... -
