Developing of a SNP based parentage testing panel in the Norwegian goat
(Master thesis, 2015-11-05)A parentage test for Norwegian goats consisting of 59 highly informative SNPs has been developed. A panel of 48 AI bucks genotyped by the Illumina 50K SNP chip were used to select 80 highly informative SNPs for the parentage ... -
Developing prediction equation for digestibility of nutrients in faeces from individual atlantic salmon
(Master thesis, 2015-11-19)The purpose of this study was to develop a robust and reliable approach to predict apparent digestibility coefficients of fat and protein of individual Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar), based on multivariate regression models ... -
Development and evaluation of 4-way crossbred chicken population in Southern Ethiopia
(PhD Thesis;2010:46, Doctoral thesis, 2010)Village chickens in Ethiopia are predominantly indigenous. They play an important role in the livelihood of farmers mainly by providing animal protein through meat and egg, as a source of income and family saving, and means ... -
Development and functions of adipose tissue in Atlantic salmon
(PhD Thesis;2009:42, Doctoral thesis, 2009)The trend in salmon aquaculture is to use feed with high lipid content. In current feeds, energy from lipids can comprise as much as 50% of the total energy, compared to 10% approximately 20 years ago. This change was ... -
Development of a method to compare sgRNA expression driven by heterologous and endogenous U6 promoters in an Atlantic salmon head kidney cell line
(Master thesis, 2021)Infectious diseases have negative impacts on fish welfare and sustainable aquaculture. Knowledge on host pathogen relationship and genes responsible for disease resistance could lead to development of vaccines and therapeutics ... -
Development of a SNP markers panel for parentage testing and individual identification in the Norwegian White Sheep (NWS) population
(Master thesis, 2013-08-05)Correct parentage information is essential for the success of livestock breeding programs. However, pedigree errors could occur due to human made errors or unintentional misbreeding due to e.g. a broken fence or similar ... -
Development of alternative baits based on rest raw materials, low-valued and surplus fish for baited gear fishing of Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua)
(Master thesis, 2018)The experiment was conducted to develop the alternative baits from low-valued and surplus fish for pot and longline fishing of Atlantic cod. Minced herring and capelin were used to produce baits for pots with increasing ... -
Development of CRISPR screenable phenotypes for PCV2 in pig cells and detection of latent BVDV contamination in commercial FBS
(Master thesis, 2023)Genome-wide CRISPR screening er et kraftig forskningsverktøy som gjør det mulig å undersøke virkningen av spesifikke gener i ulike biologiske prosesser, som for eksempel overlevelsesevne, fenotypeutvikling eller sykdomsprosesser. ... -
Development of embryonic cell culture conditions in Atlantic salmon
(Master thesis, 2023)Potensialet til bruk av induserte pluripotente stamceller har fått mye oppmerksomhet siden deres første produksjon. Disse cellene har en fenotype som ligner embryonale stamceller og kan derfor gi opphav til celler i alle ... -
Development of lentiviral technology for use in Atlantic salmon
(Master thesis, 2022)Lentiviral vectors are used to deliver and stably integrate genetic material into the genome of cells. When combined with CRISPR based gene editing technology, targeted editing of one or many host genes in a pooled format ... -
Development of research tool to evaluate the potential of using chlorella sorokiniana as bio-filter in recycled tilapia production
(Master thesis, 2016-04-05)The current study was attempted to develop the research tools in order to evaluate if Chlorella sorokiniana has a potential to perform as a bio-filter in recycle water tilapia production. The overall objective was to ... -
Development of winter wheat and weeds in organic reduced tillage
(Master thesis, 2014)No-tillage and reduced tillage are soil conservation techniques directed to reduce soil erosion and to enhance soil fertility. These techniques are adopted into conventional agriculture where weeds are controlled with ... -
Development, Biomass and Nitrogen Allocation, and Seed-Yield Components in Faba Bean (Vicia faba)
(Master thesis, 2022)Europe has a great demand in plant-protein for food and feed. A high amount of the demand is met by soy import from South America. Europe and Norway aim to become self-sufficient producers in plant-proteins. One of these ... -
Dietary effect on skeletal development of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar)
(Master thesis, 2019)The main aim of this thesis was to study the effect of dietary treatments on the skeleton of Atlantic salmon. This experiment was conducted prior to moving the fish to the seawater phase. The starting weight of the salmon ... -
Dietary effects on growth, skin morphology and stress marker genes of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) smolts
(Master thesis, 2021)The transfer of smolts from freshwater to saltwater is a challenging period during the commercial production of Atlantic salmon. The fish undergoes profound behavioural, developmental, and physiological changes. Additionally, ... -
Dietary fibre and the effect on digestive function, energy intake and major consequences for human nutrition
(Master thesis, 2014-02-13)Kunnskapen om kostfibers kjemiske sammensetning og effekt på menneskers helse har økt betydelig i løpet av de senere tiårene og det er i dag veletablert viten at kostfiber består av alle plantebaserte polysakkarider annet ... -
Dietary impact of feed on performance, health and melanization of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.)
(Master thesis, 2016-06-07)Good performance, robustness to diseases and stress, and flesh quality according to consumer expectations are important success factor in farming of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L). In recent years, superficial hyper-pigmented ... -
