(Master thesis, 2015-02-26)Localizing the organic food system is a key element for sustaining the development of organic agriculture globally. Local Food Systems (LFS) are often attributed to having advantages but their economic, ecological and ... -
Evaluation of animal welfare in dogs working with animal assisted interventions for elderly people with dementia
(Master thesis, 2014-09-17)Animal assisted interventions (AAI) have a beneficial effect on human health, but little research is done on the impact this kind of work has on the animals involved. The aim of this study is to evaluate the welfare of ... -
Evaluation of apparent nutrient digestibility in Atlantic salmon fed diets with differently processed faba bean
(Master thesis, 2019-09-30)This study was conducted to evaluate the apparent digestibility coefficients (ADC) of three different diets with faba bean in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar). A basal diet was prepared with fish meal, soy protein concentrate ... -
Evaluation of Detached Leaflet Assay as a High-Throughput Way to Select for Late Blight Resistant Potato
(Master thesis, 2022)The potato (Solanum tuberosum) is the world’s third most important food crop. It is grown all over the world. Late blight is an important disease in potato, caused by the pathogen Phytophthora infestans. The disease causes ... -
Evaluation of feeding value of cereals and legumes for ruminants using in vitro gas production
(Master thesis, 2020)This thesis consists of a literature background and laboratory experiment. The literature review contains knowledge of raw ingredients, ruminal digestion of nutrients and feed evaluation methods of ruminants. Feed quality ... -
Evaluation of susceptibility to fruit tree canker caused by Neonectria ditissima
(Master thesis, 2021)Fruit tree canker caused by Neonectria ditissima is a major bark canker disease on apple especially in temperate regions with high humidity and precipitation. The fungus can infect plant material through natural or artificial ... -
Evaluation of the effects of Beauveria bassiana on the predatory mite Phytoseiulus persimilis
(Master thesis, 2022)The entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana (Balsamo) and the predatory mite Phytoseiulus persimilis are effective biological control agents of Tetranychus urticae (Acari: Tetranychidae), an economically important pest ... -
Evaluation of the use of fractional abundance of stable carbon and nitrogen isotopes and indigestible inert marker in diets and faeces to calculate apparent digestibility of carbon and nitrogen
(Master thesis, 2018)The study carried out to test the feasibility of calculating apparent digestibilities (AD) of carbon and nitrogen with diets in fishmeal (FM), soybean meal (SBM), and rapeseed meal (RSM) as the main sources of protein by ... -
Evaluation of vGWAS, a test for determining scenarios of epistasis
(Master thesis, 2013-07-09)A number of software packages have been developed for the detection of epistatic QTL. Nevertheless, none of these approaches could assure the optimal detection of epistasis. There are a number of limitations in these ... -
Evaluation of Vital wheat gluten as a source of protein in extruded diets for juvenile Giant croaker (Nibea japonica) : feed technological properties and biological responses
(Master thesis, 2016-02-15)The aim of present study was to evaluate Vital wheat gluten (VWG) as protein source in comparison with high-quality fish meal (LT-FM) and soy protein concentrate (SPC) in extruded diets for juvenile Giant croaker (Nibea ... -
Evaluering av avlsrestriksjoner til kontroll av innavl hos norsk-svensk kaldblodstraver
(Master thesis, 2021)Innavlsraten hos norsk-svensk kaldblodstraver har over lengre periode vært høy, på grunn av sterk seleksjon for prestasjonsegenskaper med liten overordnet kontroll av avlsprogrammet. Store avkomsgrupper og høyt slektskap, ... -
