Novel indicator traits for individual feed efficiency in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar)
Dvergedal, Hanne (PhD Thesis;2019:02, Doctoral thesis, 2019)Selective breeding for enhanced feed efficiency in aquaculture production has so far been performed indirectly, largely through selection for an improved growth rate. However, a substantial fraction of the genetic variation ... -
Novel protein sources in diets for weaned piglets – effect on growth performance, gut function, and health
Håkenåsen, Ingrid Marie (PhD Thesis;2022:50, Doctoral thesis, 2022)The world is facing a growing food demand from an ever-increasing population. To meet this challenge, new resources must be utilized through innovative solutions. Meat is a valuable protein source in the human diet. However, ... -
Nutritional, health, and technical properties of black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) feeds
Weththasinghe, Pabodha (PhD Thesis;2021:79, Doctoral thesis, 2021)Black soldier fly (BSF) (Hermetia illucens) has been identified as a promising novel ingredient in fish feeds. The knowledge on optimal downstream processing of BSF is, however, lacking in the literature. The main objective ... -
Rapeseed co-products in pig diets : effects on nutrient and energy digestibility and metabolism
Perez de Nanclares Fernandez, Marta (PhD Thesis;2017:90, Doctoral thesis, 2017)The European pig industry is heavily dependent on imported protein feedstuffs, particularly soybean meal (SBM). Increased and more efficient use of locally produced protein sources, such as rapeseed (RS), could alleviate ... -
Starch digestion dynamics in broiler chickens as affected by structural components, starch properties and level of inclusion
Itani, Khaled (PhD Thesis;2019: 57, Doctoral thesis, 2019)Quantitatively, starch is the most important component and the major energy source in poultry diets. Although it is commonly believed that the broiler chicken has a large capacity to digest starch, numerous studies have ... -
Yeast (Cyberlindnera jadinii): an alternative protein source in pig and poultry feed
Cruz, Ana (PhD Thesis;2019:87, Doctoral thesis, 2019)The demand for food protein sources continues to increase rapidly along with the World population. Consequently, the European livestock industry requires a growing supply of feed protein to meet these demands. Furthermore, ...
