Estimation of heritability for the most common calfhood diseases affecting Norwegian Red calves
(Master thesis, 2023)Calf health has been gaining attention in the industry as it is the backbone of a successful dairy cattle enterprise. Calves that have been exposed to one or more calf diseases have been known to have compromised performance ... -
Estimering av genetiske parametre for etemønster hos svin
(Master thesis, 2015-08-06)Genetiske parametre for daglig fôrinntak, antall besøk i fôringsautomat per dag, tidsforbruk i fôrstasjon per besøk, etehastighet, totalt fôrforbruk og antall dager i test ble estimert med DMUAI i DMU, benyttet på en ... -
Etablering av trær i bymiljø
(Master thesis, 2014-08-12)Etablering av trær er utfordrende i bymiljø. Bymiljøet er preget av faktorer som er lite gunstig for plantevekst. Faste dekker av blant annet asfalt og brostein, store mengder salt fra vinterdrift av veier, og lite ... -
Etablering av Ulven nærmiljøhage: utfordringer og muligheter for drift
(Master thesis, 2022)While urbanisation is accelerating, cities are facing huge environmental, social and economic challenges. Urban agriculture can contribute to more sustainable cities through better environment and climate, building social ... -
Evaluating retch wire screen as a new tool for feces collection in digestibility assessment in fish: the impact of nutrient leaching on apparent digestibility of fishmeal, soybean meal and rapeseed meal diets in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)
(Master thesis, 2017)The study was carried out to evaluate the retch wire screen as a potential tool for collecting feces from water, by comparing its apparent digestibility estimates with that of the conventional stripping method. The retch ... -
Evaluating sustainable logistics for Local Food Systems and using colaboration as a tool for rationnalization in the retail-wholesale sector: A case study in the Nord-Pas de Calais region, France
(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 ... -
