  1. 1. Genetisk variation hos lantrashöns : skillnader inom svenska lantraser och europeiska lantraser

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Breeding and Genetics

    Author : Andrea Hilding; [2023]
    Keywords : genetisk variation; lantras; höns; svensk lantras; Europa;

    Abstract : Detta arbete undersöker hur den genetiska variationen ser ut hos lantrashöns i Sverige och några europeiska länder. Den genetiska variationen är ett mått på vilken nivå av biologisk mångfald som finns inom en art eller population och kan visa på hur inavel tidigare förekommit i populationerna som undersöks.

Knowledge about how consumers relate to heritage cereals in Sweden is limited, and therefore this thesis aims to, firstly, explore acceptance, awareness and preferences among a specific consumer group; students in the agriculture program at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, and, secondly, quality perception in relation to heritage cereals among consumers, bakers and retailers, in a Swedish context.
