Candida utilis yeast as a protein source for weaned piglets: Effects on growth performance and digestive function
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Yeast such as inactivated Candida utilis produced from lignocellulosic biomass from underutilized wood co-products as a second-generation sugar source is a potentially sustainable protein feed ingredient in diets for ... -
NMR and fluorescence spectroscopies reveal the preorganized binding site in family 14 carbohydrate-binding module from human chitotriosidase
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019): Carbohydrate-binding modules (CBM) play important roles in targeting and increasing the concentration of carbohydrate active enzymes on their substrates. Using NMR to get the solution structure of CBM14, we can gain ... -
Epigenetic, transcriptional and phenotypic responses in two generations of Daphnia magna exposed to the DNA methylation inhibitor 5-Azacytidine
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)The water flea Daphnia magna is a keystone species in freshwater ecosystems and has been widely used as a model organism in environmental ecotoxicology. This aquatic crustacean is sensitive to environmental stressors and ... -
Catching the fish with the worm: A case study on eDNA detection of the monogenean parasite Gyrodactylus salaris and two of its hosts, Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) and rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018)Background: Environmental DNA (eDNA) monitoring is growing increasingly popular in aquatic systems as a valuable complementary method to conventional monitoring. However, such tools have not yet been extensively applied ... -
Indirect quantification of IgG using a digital refractometer, and factors associated with colostrum quality in Norwegian Red Cattle
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Background: There is an increased interest in using digital refractometers to indirectly assess colostrum quality of dairy cattle, but knowledge on diagnostic accuracy for Norwegian Red dairy cows is lacking. Recent research ... -
Candida utilis yeast as a functional protein source for Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.): Local intestinal tissue and plasma proteome responses
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Microbial ingredients such as Candida utilis yeast are known to be functional protein sources with immunomodulating effects whereas soybean meal causes soybean meal-induced enteritis in the distal intestine of Atlantic ... -
Early-life conditions determine the between-individual heterogeneity in plasticity of calving date in reindeer
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Phenotypic plasticity has become a key concept to enhance our ability to understand the adaptive potential of species to track the pace of climate change by allowing a relatively rapid adjustment of life‐history ... -
Rural livelihood vulnerabilities, coping strategies and outcomes: a case study in Central Rift Valley of Ethiopia
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Extensively vulnerable mixed rain-fed farming system is the underlying mainstay of livelihoods of farmers in the central Rift Valley of Ethiopia. This study aimed to assess determinants of farmers’ livelihood vulnerabilities ... -
A meta-analysis of the effects of dietary canola/double low rapeseed meal on growth performance of weanling and growing-finishing pigs

Numerical Investigation of Façade and Floor Glazing Systems
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)The use of point-supported systems in glass façades and floors has become widespread due to their excellent structural properties. The combination of glass and metal, frequently found in modern architectural norms and ... -
Electronic feed stations for feeding concentrates to pregnant ewes on commercial sheep farms
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)The aim of this study was to investigate the use and capacity of electronic feed stations (EFS) on commercial sheep farms. The study was conducted on four commercial farms and the numbers of pregnant ewes per EFS were 36, ... -
Straw vs. peat as nest-building material - The impact on farrowing duration and piglet mortality in loose-housed sows
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Provision of nest-building material pre-partum is required by farm animal legislation in Norway, but as some farmers have problems with straw in the slurry system, alternative and finer-grained substrates could be of interest. ... -
Estimating stand level stem diameter distribution utilizing harvester data and airborne laser scanning
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Accurately positioned single-tree data obtained from a cut-to-length harvester were used as training harvester plot data for k-nearest neighbor (k-nn) stem diameter distribution modelling applying airborne laser scanning ... -
Predicting the spatial abundance of Ixodes ricinus ticks in southern Scandinavia using environmental and climatic data
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Recently, focus on tick-borne diseases has increased as ticks and their pathogens have become widespread and represent a health problem in Europe. Understanding the epidemiology of tickborne infections requires the ability ... -
Consequences of Haemorrhagic Smolt Syndrome (HSS) for the Immune Status of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) (Case Study)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Haemorrhagic smolt syndrome (HSS) is a disorder of unknown aetiology causing losses in the fresh water phase of Atlantic salmon farming. Normally, the mortality is limited and symptoms disappear upon seawater exposure. In ... -
Endless forms of sexual selection
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)In recent years, the field of sexual selection has exploded, with advances in theoretical and empirical research complementing each other in exciting ways. This perspective piece is the product of a ``stock-taking'' workshop ... -
Rural livelihoods and climate change adaptation in laggard transitional economies: A case from Bosnia and Herzegovina
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)This study analyzes farm households’ adaptation in a broad livelihood context, showing how both household internal dynamics and broader external factors, such as agro-ecological, climatic, and institutional economic and ... -
A Research-Inspired Biochemistry Laboratory Module - Combining Expression, Purification, Crystallization, Structure-Solving, and Characterization of a Flavodoxin-like Protein
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Many laboratory courses consist of short and seemingly unconnected individual laboratory exercises. To increase the course consistency, relevance, and student engagement, we havedevelopedaresearch-inspiredandproject-basedmodule, ... -
Genomic and functional gene studies suggest a key role of beta-carotene oxygenase 1 like (bco1l) gene in salmon flesh color
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Red coloration of muscle tissue (flesh) is a unique trait in several salmonid genera, including Atlantic salmon. The color results from dietary carotenoids deposited in the flesh, whereas the color intensity is affected ... -
Demyelinating polyneuropathy in goats lacking prion protein.
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Studies in mice with ablation of Prnp, the gene that encodes the cellular prion protein (PrPC), have led to the hypothesis that PrPC is important for peripheral nerve myelin maintenance. Here, we have used a nontransgenic ...
