Mjølfôr med høy norskandel for broilere sammenlignet med pelletert fôr og dens effekt på tilvekst
(Master thesis, 2020)Mjølfôr er et spennende alternativ til konvensjonelle pellets. På mange måter spiller denne formen på mange av styrkene som er unike hos fjørfe. Blant annet med å stimulere broilernes krås. Dette forsøket er basert på et ... -
Modeling feed intake and feed efficiency along the lactation curve of Norwegian Red Dairy Cattle
(Master thesis, 2021)Including feed efficiency into breeding goals could be a key in ensuring sustainable dairy cattle production as selection could be based on how efficient a cow is in terms of what it consumes and produces all through the ... -
Mohairgeit i Norge – muligheter og utfordringer for fremtiden
(Master thesis, 2021)Kulturlandskapet i Norge er i sterk gjengroing. Geiter har et annet beitemønster enn sau og storfe, som er mer egnet til å åpne opp gjengrodde områder. I dag er melkegeiter de vanligste geitene i Norge. Siden markedet for ... -
Moratferd i kalvingsbingen
(Master thesis, 2023)Sammendrag Landbrukssektoren er i stort fokus ettersom forbrukerne er mer opptatt av hvor maten kommer fra og dyrevelferden i produksjonssystemene. Ku og kalv skilles fra hverandre i melkeproduksjon, noe som forbrukerne ... -
The more the merrier? : the effect of group size on welfare, production results and carcass traits in fattening pigs
(Master thesis, 2022)Pigs in a commercial setting find themselves in group sizes that deviate from what is observed in the wild. Production pigs also lack the ability to regulate group size in accordance to available resources as they would ... -
Motivating change agents : influences of visioning on human agency for food system transformation
(Master thesis, 2021)Swift transformation of the food system towards sustainability is important to avoid further transgression of the planetary boundaries. Food system transformation requires altering the fundamental determinants of the system. ... -
New activity-based fertility traits for Norwegian Red dairy cattle : definitions, heritabilities and comparison to traditional fertility traits
(Master thesis, 2019)The aim of this study was to define and calculate heritabilities for new activity-based fertility traits for Norwegian Red (NRF) dairy cattle. The traits were time from calving to first high activity episode (CFHA), first ... -
Non-invasive prediction of vertebral deformities and mineral deposition using Computed Tomography (CT) for the advancement in breeding of Atlantic salmon
(Master thesis, 2019)The aim of this thesis was to develop a method for determination of vertebral deformities and mineral deposition in the skeleton of gutted Atlantic salmon using a novel non-invasive method based on computer tomography (CT). ... -
Novel functional feed based on bioactive compounds from spruce tree (Picea abies) and their beneficial health effects on distal intestine of Atlantic salmon
