(Master thesis, 2024)Bruken av torv som dyrkingsmedium i landbruket skal gradvis fases ut, og det er derfor viktig å finne gode alternative dyrkingsmetoder som ikke har negativ påvirkning på kvaliteten i den produserte maten. Denne masteroppgaven ... -
The Significance of Carbohydrates in Canine Nutrition: An Integrated Approach to Nutritional Assessment
(Master thesis, 2024)Hundens opprinnelse har lenge vært diskutert i litteraturen, og debatten går gjerne på hvorvidt hunden skal klassifiseres som en karnivor, og om karbohydrater er essensielt i deres kosthold. Hunder har ikke et ernæringsmessig ... -
Effekt av ammetante-system og sesong på tilvekst hos kalv
(Master thesis, 2024)Det er vanlig praksis i melkeproduksjonen å fjerne kalv og ku rett etter fødsel, men på grunn av økt fokus på dyrevelferd har ku-kalv system fått større interesse. Forsøk med Ku-kalv system viser positive effekter på ... -
Mechanisms of defence priming in Norway spruce (Picea abies) seeds using methyl jasmonate and chitosan
(Master thesis, 2024)Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) H. Karst.) is a beneficial conifer species in Europe, especially in forestry. The increasing demand of Norway spruce has led to high production of seedlings in growth facilities. Growth ... -
Evaluating genetic tools to inform conservation efforts for the nationally red-listed European lobster (Homarus gammarus)
(Master thesis, 2024)Due to a concerning decline in population abundance, the European lobster (Homarus gammarus) has become a vulnerable species in Norway. In response, policymakers have established lobster sanctuaries where catch is prohibited, ... -
Ethological observations of aggressive social interactions reveal multiple targets for non-invasive monitoring of stress and welfare in farmed Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar).
(Master thesis, 2024)New observations regarding cognitive abilities and emotional processes in fishes challenge traditional perceptions and emphasize the need for ethically sound practices in aquaculture. Similar welfare legislations applies ... -
Influence of vitamin K3 on Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.)
