The effect of intermittent feeding on performance of broiler chicken and influence of oat hulls structure on diet flow
(Master thesis, 2014-02-18)Two trials were carried out to study the effect of intermittent feeding on performance of broiler chicken and passage rate of diet. In addition, interaction effects among feeding regime, oat hulls (OH) structure and phytase ... -
The effect of Laminaria hyperborea and its bioactive components on the intestinal health of Atlantic salmon
(Master thesis, 2016-11-23)The rapid expansion of the aquaculture industry is imposing an increasing demand on the available feed resources for aquafeeds, particularly fishmeal. Plant-derived ingredients have been widely investigated in recent years ... -
The effect of pancreas disease and salting conditions on the quality of raw and cold-smoked Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.)
(PhD Thesis;2011:07, Doctoral thesis, 2011)Fillet quality of farmed Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) is affected by a broad range of preand post-mortem factors. This thesis focuses mainly on the impact of pancreas disease (PD), salt composition and salting method ... -
The effect of phytase supplementation on broiler and interaction between phytase and intermittent feeding and structural components
(Master thesis, 2014-02-19)An experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of exogenous phytase supplementation and the interaction between phytase and feeding regime and between phytase and component structures on the performance, bone ash ... -
The Effect of Red/Blue Light and CO2 Enrichment on Development, Photosynthesis, Yield and Quality of Vicia faba Grown in Controlled Environment
(Master thesis, 2024)There is a need to explore new methods of food production as effects of climate change influence yield and quality of crops in field production. Higher frequency of extreme weather, new diseases and insect pests, in addition ... -
The effect of reward type and reward preference on the performance of detection dogs
(Master thesis, 2015-02-25)Eight young labradors and spaniels of working strains at Fjellanger Detection Dog Academy in Os, Norway, were used in an alternating treatment design to assess the effect of reward type (toy or food) and reward preference ... -
The effect of tetradecylthioacetic acid (TTA) on body weight management in growing silver foxes (vulpes vulpes) as a model for dogs (Canis familiaris)
(Master thesis, 2018)This thesis consists of two parts, one general part concerning obesity and obesity related health problems in dogs. In addition, the general part gives an overview of methods to prevent obesity with restricted energy intake, ... -
The effect of the grit stone on feed passage rate in broiler chickens
(Master thesis, 2016-08-18)An experiment was carried out to test the hypothesis that feeding grit to broiler chickens would slower the passage rate of the feed throughout the digestive tract. At the same time, the effect of grit on the performance ... -
The effect of UV-B and temperature on photoperiodic control of growth and bud set in Subalpine Fir (Abies lasiocarpa) and Norway Spruce (Picea abies)
(Master thesis, 2015-07-16)Perennial plants, such as Norway Spruce and Subalpine Fir synchronize their growth and dormancy to different environmental cues, mainly photoperiod, temperature and light quality. In several plant species the UV-B radiation ... -
The effects of dietary EPA and two production systems (RAS & FT) on growth and lipid class compositions of gills of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar)
(Master thesis, 2023)Recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) are becoming quite common for commercial production of large post smolts, primarily because of their potential for sustainable use of water, better control over culture conditions ... -
The effects of environmental enrichments, group size and confinement length on play behaviour in juvenile Norwegian dairy goats (Capra hircus)
(Master thesis, 2018)Lek blir ofte betraktet som en indikator på god velferd i unge pattedyr siden det sjelden forekommer under vanskelige forhold. Det vil derfor være nyttig å vite hvordan endringer i noen normale produksjonsforhold påvirker ... -
The effects of marble grit supplementation on the performance of broiler chicken
(Master thesis, 2016-08-18)A trial was carried out to investigate the effects of both insoluble and soluble grits supplemented to broiler chicken on the growth performance and gizzard stimulation. Particle size distribution of excreta, grit passage, ... -
The effects of temperature during grain filling on gluten quality of bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)
(PhD Thesis;2015:35, Doctoral thesis, 2017-07-06)Wheat production in Norway occurs at the highest latitudes among wheat production areas worldwide, and with lower growth temperature. The proportion of Norwegian wheat in total wheat consumed for food has increased from ... -
The expansion of Coffee Robusta (C. canephora) in Nicaragua
(Master thesis, 2017)An increasing number of small-scale rural farmers in developing countries are involved in the so-called global trade market, producing crops such as coffee, tea, cacao, and banana to the Western Hemisphere. In Nicaragua, ... -
The experience of members of European CSAs
(Master thesis, 2018)Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is an alternative food system that directly connects consumers with producers. Though in theory CSA ameliorates some of the negative environmental, social, and economic impacts of ... -
The growth and development of lettuce, coriander and swiss chard in a cold water aquaponic system optimized for lettuce production
(Master thesis, 2016-11-17)Aquaponic research seemed to be characterized by experiments conducted in warm water systems while experiments in cold water systems were almost non-existent per August 2016. The main aim of this thesis was therefore to ... -
