Kvalitet i remonterende og kortdagsplanter av jordbær (Fragaria x ananassa Duch.)
(Master thesis, 2021)I Norge er jordbærsesongen relativt kort og dyrkning av jordbær i nord kan være problematisk, på grunn av det kjølige klima. Ved å dyrke jordbær i tunnel vil det bidra til en forlengelse av vekstsesongen i sør og det kan ... -
Kvalitetsundersøkelser for en del grønnsaker i detaljomsetningsleddet

Labor-force management challenges of farms involved in short-food supply chains
(Master thesis, 2017)Organizational issues appear to be one of the greatest challenges of short-food supply chains. Farms involved in these initiatives developed complex working organizations which need to articulate production, commercialization ... -
Langtidsfriske blant forpleiningsansatte i Offshore : arbeidsrelaterte og hjemmerelaterte faktorer
(Master thesis, 2012-08-06)Sykefravær har hatt stort fokus i mange år, og de med sykefravær blir framstilt som en særdeles stor gruppe. Realiteten er likevel at de aller fleste møter på jobb hver dag. Fokuset har etter hvert i større grad snudd seg ... -
Laterality in dogs in response to odour of human stress
(Master thesis, 2015-02-24)Can dogs smell that humans are stressed? Lateralization of behaviour and neural functions is found among humans and non-human animals like mammals, amphibians, birds, fishes and reptiles. The structures in the right ... -
LCA av fiskefôri prosjekt Oil4Feed
(Master thesis, 2023)På grunn av internasjonal etterspørsel etter høykvalitets oppdrettsfisk, stilles det derfor en del krav til bærekraftig fiskefôr. Tradisjonelt sett har det vært mest vanlig å bruke fiskeolje i fôr, fordi denne inneholder ... -
Levels of inbreeding dervied from runs of homozygosity : a comparison of Austrian and Norwegian cattle breeds
(Master thesis, 2012-05-21)Conventionally, levels of inbreeding for livestock animals are estimated analyzing pedigree data. The recent availability of high density SNP arrays for the bovine genome has provided the opportunity for investigation of ... -
Liberalized agriculture policy effects on socioeconomic conditions of smallholder farmers in the global south : a food sovereignty perspective
(Master thesis, 2021)In the years since the second World War, governments globally have adopted trade and production policies which opened global trade via the relaxation of tariffs through international agreements, both bilateral and multilateral. ... -
Linkage disequilibrium in the chromosomal region surrounding the prion protein gene (Prnp) in Norwegian dairy goat
(Master thesis, 2019)The Norwegian dairy goat is the only known mammal that naturally lacks cellular prion protein (PrPC); this due to a nonsense mutation in the prion protein gene (PRNP). This makes the goats interesting model animals in ... -
Linking the heritability concept to systems dynamics
(PhD Thesis;2013:18, Doctoral thesis, 2013)The concept of heritability is rooted in the observation that relatives resemble one another more than expected by chance. Narrow-sense heritability is defined as the proportion of phenotypic variance that is attributable ... -
Lipostatic regulation experimental provoked in farmed atlantic salmon (salmo salar L.)
(Master thesis, 2013-08-26)The present study was conducted to investigate the influence of various salmon fatty accumulations in the early summer on the growth of Atlantic salmon in the following autumn and if this may be linked to sexual maturation ... -
Literature review on the influence of milling and pelleting on nutritional quality, physical characteristics, and production cost of pelleted poultry feed
(Master thesis, 2018)The major objective of poultry feed production is satisfying nutritional requirements, and conversion of macro and microelements into high valuable human food. The economic importance of poultry feed, becomes apparent when ... -
Long-term effect of dietary tryptophan supplementation on the physiological stress response in Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar)
(Master thesis, 2013-09-10)Several strategies to reduce stress among fish in aquaculture are currently under development. A biologically conserved feature of the stress response in vertebrates is the role of the brain serotonergic (5-hydroxytryptamine, ... -
Longevity of ewes in Norwegian sheep production: descriptive study of breeds and genetic analysis of Norwegian White sheep
(Master thesis, 2023)Longevity in breeding ewes is a complex trait affected by many factors both genetic and environmental. From an economic, environmental, and animal welfare perspective it is favourable to increase longevity. Norway has many ... -
Longitudinal stretching, a training method for horses: effect on behaviour, gait quality, mechanical nociceptive threshold, and pain sensitivity
(Master thesis, 2017)Many of today’s horses have physiological problems such as tendon injuries and muscle pain in the neck and back, many times as a result of wrongful sub-optimal training, overtraining or lack of variation in the training. ... -
Looking beyond individual behaviour: a social practice approach to understanding consumer drop out in REKO
(Master thesis, 2020)The current food system employs an industrialised model of agriculture that has been connected to climate change, loss of biodiversity, environmental degradation, and the erosion of rural livelihoods. It is characterized ... -
Low effect of β-mannan on gene regulation in Atlantic salmon
(Master thesis, 2022)In this thesis the effect of the prebiotic β-mannan on the molecular function of different tissues in Atlantic salmon was tested. As the fiber has proven metabolism-promoting effects in other terrestrial animals and humans, ... -
Lysiphlebus testaceipes (Cresson) (Hymenoptera: Braconidae, Aphidiinae) in Benin : its potential as a biological control agent for integrated aphid management in vegetable systems
(PhD Thesis;2013:41, Doctoral thesis, 2013)In Benin, vegetable producers’ reliance on toxic synthetic pesticides threatens the environment and human health. However, the recent discovery of Lysiphlebus testaceipes (Cresson) (Hymenoptera: Braconidae, Aphidiinae) in ... -
Machine learning approaches using freshwater gene expression profiles to predict seawater performance in Atlantic Salmon
(Master thesis, 2023)Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) has an anadromous life cycle, spending the first part of its life in freshwater before migrating to seawater. Smoltification is the process where Atlantic salmon undergo several morphological, ... -
Management of genomic inbreeding in breeding schemes
(PhD Thesis;2019:25, Doctoral thesis, 2019)The overall aim of this research work was to explore strategies that manage genetic variation at the genomic level in the era of powerful genomic selection methods. In paper 1, the role of alternative genomic relationship ...
