A new approach for predicting milk production responses and feed utilization in dairy cows
(Doctoral thesis, 2021)Feed evaluation systems (FESs), such as the Nordic Feed Evaluation System (NorFor), aim to help dairy producers compare the nutritive value of various types of feed, formulate of balanced diets, and predict animal performance ... -
Night time temperature and day time irradiance on photosynthesis and growth of cucumber: Potential and possibilities for energy saving
(Master thesis, 2016-04-04)Growth chamber experiments were conducted with seedless cucumber cv. Odeon to examine the effect of night temperature on photosynthesis and growth with compensation possibilities of daytime irradiance level. Further, the ... -
Non-additive genetic effects in Nile tilapia
(PhD Thesis;2018:101, Doctoral thesis, 2018)Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) is the world’s fastest growing aquaculture species, in terms of annual increase in production (ca 10%) and is today produced world-wide. Most of the commercial and farmed Nile tilapia ... -
Non-invasive prediction of vertebral deformities and mineral deposition using Computed Tomography (CT) for the advancement in breeding of Atlantic salmon
(Master thesis, 2019)The aim of this thesis was to develop a method for determination of vertebral deformities and mineral deposition in the skeleton of gutted Atlantic salmon using a novel non-invasive method based on computer tomography (CT). ... -
Norske kostholdsanbefalinger av mettet fett, med fokus på anbefalinger om fett i melk til barn : en litteraturstudie
(Master thesis, 2015-07-02)I sin begynnelse var myndighetenes kostholdsanbefalinger basert på å beskytte befolkningen mot ernæringsmangler og underernæring. Hypotesen om at for mye fett i kostholdet, og spesielt mettet fett gir økt risiko for utvikling ... -
Norwegian short food supply chain development
(Master thesis, 2017)Agro-food systems around the globe are consolidating and homogenizing. In response, they are also segmenting and diversifying. The emerging agro-food networks fit into what scholars describe as economic and rural development ... -
Novel functional feed based on bioactive compounds from spruce tree (Picea abies) and their beneficial health effects on distal intestine of Atlantic salmon
(Master thesis, 2022)Aquaculture is an important industry that has the potential to stimulate economical growth, create jobs and assisting in poverty alleviation. However, the rapid growth and intensification of this sector has raised concerns ... -
Novel functional feeds containing Debaryomyces hansenii or fucoidan improved growth performance and modulated hepatic osmoregulatory, immune and energy responses of Atlantic salmon during seawater transfer
(Master thesis, 2022)Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) is the most important farmed specie in Norwegian aquaculture industry that undergoes profound physiological and immunological alterations before and after seawater transfer (SWT). At this ... -
Novel functional ingredients containing yeast cell wall components modulate molecular biomarkers in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) when exposed to acute hypoxic stress.
(Master thesis, 2021)Aquaculture is a continuously expanding global industry, however, some of the major problems associated with intensive fish farming are acute and chronic stressful conditions such as handling, sub-optimal nutrition, ... -
Novel indicator traits for individual feed efficiency in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar)
(PhD Thesis;2019:02, Doctoral thesis, 2019)Selective breeding for enhanced feed efficiency in aquaculture production has so far been performed indirectly, largely through selection for an improved growth rate. However, a substantial fraction of the genetic variation ... -
Novel protein sources in diets for weaned piglets – effect on growth performance, gut function, and health
(PhD Thesis;2022:50, Doctoral thesis, 2022)The world is facing a growing food demand from an ever-increasing population. To meet this challenge, new resources must be utilized through innovative solutions. Meat is a valuable protein source in the human diet. However, ... -
