Novel functional ingredients containing yeast cell wall components modulate molecular biomarkers in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) when exposed to acute hypoxic stress.
(Master thesis, 2021)Aquaculture is a continuously expanding global industry, however, some of the major problems associated with intensive fish farming are acute and chronic stressful conditions such as handling, sub-optimal nutrition, ... -
Novel indicator traits for individual feed efficiency in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar)
(PhD Thesis;2019:02, Doctoral thesis, 2019)Selective breeding for enhanced feed efficiency in aquaculture production has so far been performed indirectly, largely through selection for an improved growth rate. However, a substantial fraction of the genetic variation ... -
Novel protein sources in diets for weaned piglets – effect on growth performance, gut function, and health
(PhD Thesis;2022:50, Doctoral thesis, 2022)The world is facing a growing food demand from an ever-increasing population. To meet this challenge, new resources must be utilized through innovative solutions. Meat is a valuable protein source in the human diet. However, ... -
Novel welfare determination of farmed Atlantic salmon exposed to different photo period regimes prior to sea transfer using digital phenotyping and machine learning
(Master thesis, 2023)The well-being of fish must be a priority as fish have cognitive abilities and good welfare is a must for optimum production. The purpose of the research was to determine welfare of Atlantic salmon exposed to different ... -
NUTRIENT SELF-SUFFICIENCY IN AGRICULTURE ON LA REUNION Analysis of the Balance Between Crop Needs and Availability of Residual Fertilizing Materials by Commune
(Master thesis, 2023)NUTRIENT SELF-SUFFICIENCY IN AGRICULTURE ON LA REUNION Analysis of the balance between crop needs and availability of residual fertilizing materials by commune. -
Nutritional and anti-nutritional quality of range vegetation in southern Ethiopia and supplementary values of selected browse leaves to goats
(PhD Thesis;2010:51, Doctoral thesis, 2010)Livestock are reared in all agroecological zones of Ethiopia under various production systems. Goats, although found in all agroecological zones, are popular in the drier environments since they adapt well in harsh condition ... -
Nutritional, health, and technical properties of black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) feeds
(PhD Thesis;2021:79, Doctoral thesis, 2021)Black soldier fly (BSF) (Hermetia illucens) has been identified as a promising novel ingredient in fish feeds. The knowledge on optimal downstream processing of BSF is, however, lacking in the literature. The main objective ... -
Nutritive values of selected forages for ruminants in Vietnam. Supplementation of varying level of cassava root meal and groundnut cake during growing phase, and its effect on performance of Laisind cattle in the finishing phase
(PhD Thesis;2014:82, Doctoral thesis, 2014)In Vietnam, the demand on quantity and quality of beef has been increasing rapidly but the domestic production does not meet these demands. Vietnam had a production of 293 969 tons of beef cattle in 2012, and had imported ... -
Oat breeding in the era of genomics : resistance against Fusarium
(PhD Thesis;2024:9, Doctoral thesis, 2024)In Norway, oat, along with wheat and barley, constitute one of the three major crops, valued as a break crop due to its minimal disease overlaps with the others. However, a significant threat to the cereal crops, particularly ... -
One moment in time : Gene expression analysis of honey bees; nurse bees v.s. foragers
(Master thesis, 2012-06-14)Honey bees live in complex societies based on a division of labour. The honey bee workers specialise in different tasks throughout their lives, starting off as nurse bees and ending as foragers. The nurse bees and foragers ... -
