In-vivo and In-sacco method for testing dry matter digestibility of Norwegian cold-blooded horses
(Master thesis, 2018-06)Two types of feeds with different fiber sources were investigated in five caecum cannulated Norwegian cold-blooded horses. This objectives of the experiment was to increase fermentable fiber (Sugar beet pulp) into horse ... -
Indicators of sustainability in Mediterranean olive value chains: Building knowledge for the transition to sustainable food systems Thesis conducted within the frame of the SNF-funded project “Deliberative diets: Connecting producers and consumers to value the sustainability of Swiss food system scenarios”
(Master thesis, 2023)The olive value chain is a cornerstone of the socio-cultural, economic, and environmental landscape of the Mediterranean region. The industry is a major source of employment and income in rural communities. In recent years, ... -
Influence of Nano-cellulose, peanut fiber, and Fibersol to physical characteristics of the Extruded dogfood Kibbles
(Master thesis, 2023)This thesis investigates the impact of screw speed and fiber composition on the physical quality of pet food kibbles. The study focuses on understanding how variations in screw speed (475 rpm and 650 rpm) and different ... -
Influence of the animal feed binders on optimal nutritional and physical qualities of the animal feed pellets and feed production capacity- A literature review
(Master thesis, 2020)Binders are binding/firming agents that develop solid bridges through chemical reaction to make strong interparticle bonding. They are used to strengthen pellets, improve pellet integrity, durability and stability, reduce ... -
Insights into the regulation of LC-PUFA biosynthesis in wild and aquaculture Atlantic salmon in response to a vegetable oil diet
(Master thesis, 2018)The aim of this master thesis was to use transcriptomics to evaluate if lipid metabolism of wild and aquaculture salmon is different. In recent years, there has been extensive research on lipid metabolism in salmonids ... -
Intake of grass of Norwegian White Sheep and Old Norwegian Spæl – Are there breed differences in feed intake in a zero-grazing system?
(Master thesis, 2023)I Norge går sauen på beite om våren, sommeren og høsten, og i vinterperioden står de inne og blir fôret høstet grovfôr. Kunnskap om fôropptaket og faktorer som påvirker det er viktig for å sikre en bærekraftig ... -
