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 ... -
Feminist Agroecology: Perspectives from Female Farmers in Norway
(Master thesis, 2022)Agroecology is a solution to transform food systems and meet the multifold crises of climate, biodiversity loss, food insecurity and social inequality. These crises impact people differently based on gender, ethnicity, ... -
Fenologisk utvikling i rødkløver
(Master thesis, 2015-02-26)Rødkløver (Trifolium pratense) er en viktig plante i grovfôrproduksjonen i Norge. Det er nær sammenheng mellom fôrvekstenes fenologiske utviklingstrinn og deres fôrkvalitet. Både med tanke på praktisk dyrkingsveiledning ... -
Fett og omega 3 til hest : kilder, potensiell virkning og bruksområde
(Master thesis, 2016-09-07)Bruk av mer fett i fôr til hest har i nyere tid blitt vanligere enn før. Fett gir en mulighet til å øke energikonsentrasjonen i fôret, og samtidig redusere inntaket av NSC, som sukker og stivelse. Mange hester er avhengig ... -
Fettsyresammensetning i kumelk ved fôring med surfôr av timotei, raigras eller mais
(Master thesis, 2010-12-06)I denne oppgaven var hensikten å sammenligne virkning av fôring med timotei-, raigras eller maissurfôr på fettsyresammensetning i kumelk. Siden tidligere forsøk, blant annet på Jæren, med bruk av raigras har gitt gode ... -
Fiberrike ingredienser i fôr til fjørfe : effekt av bygg på produksjonsresultater for slaktekylling og erteskallfiber på energiverdi for voksne haner
(Master thesis, 2012-08-13)Det ble utført et forsøk med byggbasert fôr til slaktekyllinger. Fôret ble tildelt i to dietter der den ene var tilsatt enzym (β-glukanase og xylanase) og den andre var uten tilsetning. Det er kjent at slaktekylling ikke ... -
Field dissipation of pesticides used in Norwegian carrot production and pesticide residues in carrots in Norway compared to China, the European Union and Germany
(Master thesis, 2020)The use of pesticides has not only positive effects on yield and food safety but also poses a risk to the environment and human health. Residues of pesticides are frequently detected in food crops, water, and soil, but a ... -
Filamentous fungi (Paecilomyces variotii) as an alternative sustainable ingredient in diets for Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) : effects on pellet quality, growth performance, nutrient digestibility and utilization, and immune-related biomarkers in the distal intestine during the freshwater phase.
(Master thesis, 2023)Filamentous fungi (FF) are promising microbial ingredients (MI) for use in aquaculture feeds due to their high protein content and bioactive components with potential health beneficial effects. This study aimed to assess ... -
Fillet quality and health of vaccinated or unvaccinated Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L)
(Master thesis, 2015-12-14)The prime goal of the present study was to investigate the impacts of vaccine on biometric traits, melanization of tissues and fillet quality of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L). In the experiment, a total number of 420 ... -
Fillet quality and yield of farmed Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.): variation between families, gender differences and the importance of maturation
(Master thesis, 2012-04-27)The aim was to study biometric parameters, yield and fillet quality traits of farmed Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) belonging to the 2008 year class of the breeding nucleus of SalmoBreed AS, Norway. The offspring analyzed ... -
Fillet quality of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.). Relevance of dietary amino acid supplementation and acclimation temperature before slaughter
(Master thesis, 2011-10-12)The aim of the present study was to investigate the impact of dietary composition and acclimation temperature before slaughter on fillet quality development of farmed Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.). The fish were fed a ... -
Fillet quality of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) as affected by dietary and environmental treatments
(Master thesis, 2020)Fillet quality of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L) is crucial for both salmon producers and consumers. There are endogenous and exogenous factors that affect fillet quality. This thesis mainly focuses on exogenous factors: ... -
Fine mapping of a QTL for white markings on chromosome 23 in Scandinavian Fjord horses.
(Master thesis, 2022)In Fjord horses, it is undesirable to have extensive white markings on the head or legs. White markings tended to be multifactorial pleitropic traits with phenotypic effects not solely restricted to coat colour but a variety ... -
Fine mapping of two QTL regions associated with inguinal hernia in pig
(Master thesis, 2015-07-16)Pigs suffering from hernias are of concern for pig producers as they can lead to poor animal welfare and economic loss for the producer. Inguinal and scrotal hernia describes instances where abdominal contents protrude ... -
Fine-mapping and characterization of fusarium head blight resistance QTL on chromosome 2D in wheat
(Master thesis, 2022)Fusarium head blight (FHB) is a destructive disease in cereals (and other plants) caused by several plant pathogenic species of Fusarium spp. In bread wheat (Triticum aestivum) it infects the kernels, which greatly impacts ... -
Fish welfare and color of skin and fillets of Atlantic Salmon from two genetic lines exposed to repeated hypoxia prior to harvesting
(Master thesis, 2022)Oxygen is a fundamental necessity for the fitness and survival of Atlantic salmon. Hypoxia is reduced access to oxygen and low levels of oxygen in body tissues, which affects the welfare, immune response, and product quality ... -
Five-year numerical response of saproxylic beetles following a dead wood pulse left by moth outbreaks in northern Scandinavia
(Master thesis, 2017)Saproxylic insects are important for the decomposition of dead wood, and therefore crucial for maintaining healthy forest ecosystems. There is, however, little knowledge about their ability to respond to massive resource ... -
Flowering behaviour and juvenile stage miR156/miR172 expression in annual and perennial Pooideae
(Master thesis, 2020)Most plant seedlings undergo a juvenile stage of development, during which they are unresponsive to environmental signals that promote floral competence. The length of this phase is often extended in perennial versus annual ... -
