1. 6. Rabbit urine as a biopesticide and biofertilizer : how does a Kenyan cultural method compare to conventional chemical pesticide and fertilizer?

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Ecology

   Author : Kari Løe; [2023]
   Keywords : biopesticide; biofertilizers; rabbit urine; aphids; agriculture; Kenya;

   Abstract : The increased demand for food production has created higher needs for crop nutrients and protection. Although synthetic fertilizers and pesticides have increased food security and ensured yield for farmers worldwide, there are growing concerns about the environmental implications of over reliance of these fertilizers and pesticides as well as concern for pest resistance due to persistent pesticide use.

3. 7. Protein Recovery from Alkaline Extracts: A Comparative Analysis of Isoelectric Precipitation and Ultrafiltration

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Livsmedelsteknik och nutrition (master)

   Author : Anjay Sharma; [2023]
   Keywords : Rapeseed cake; Brewers spent grains; Protein recovery; Ultrafiltration; Alkaline extraction; Food engineering; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Proteins are one of three macro-components of a diet. An increasing demand for products that can be a complete protein source exists. The vulnerability of the current food system towards environmental impacts and the inability to keep up with the rising population has shifted the focus on valorising underutilised by-products of the food industry.

4. 8. Biochar from separated digestate and pig manure as soil amendment

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Soil and Environment

   Author : Lovisa Nissen; [2022]
   Keywords : separation; screw press; incubation study; CO2 emission; N mineralization;

   Abstract : The situation in and around the Baltic Sea, with large areas with hypoxia in the sea and areas in the watershed with a high concentration of animal farms, has led to a need to increase the nutrient recycling of animal manure. High levels of phosphorus (P) in the soil lead to leaching, and by reducing the P-level in organic fertilizers, this leaching can be reduced. READ MORE

5. 9. Production of filamentous fungal biomass on waste-derived volatile fatty acids for ruminant feed supplementation and it's in vitro digestion analysis

   University essay from Högskolan i Borås/Akademin för textil, teknik och ekonomi

   Author : Mohammadali Bouzarjomehr; [2022]
   Keywords : VFAs volatile-fatty-acids ; Fungi production; Feed production.; Fermentation processes; Aspergillus oryzae; A. oryzae fungal biomass; Sustainability; Rumen fluids; Evaluation of the digestibility of the produced fungal biomass; TT method analysis; Gas production method; Nylon bag method analysis;

   Abstract : Single cell proteins such as that of edible filamentous fungal biomass are considered as a promising sustainable source of animal feed supplementation. Filamentous fungi can be cultivated on different organic substrates including volatile fatty acids (VFAs) such as acetic, propionic, and butyric acids. READ MORE

6. 10. Multi-environment Screening of Timothy (Phleum pratense) Breeding Material for Better Forage Yield in Sweden.

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Plant Breeding (from 130101)

   Author : Ibrahim Issa; [2022]
   Keywords : Phleum pratense; Multi-Environment; Forage yield; Sweden; Genotype-by-environment interaction Swedish;

   Abstract : Timothy (Phleum pratense) is one of the most widely used forage crops in hay and pasture grass mixtures in Nordic countries; it’s also used in areas where it is one of the top forage crops harvested high yield, especially in boreal climates. There hasn’t been any large-scale breeding of Timothy to develop varieties that are adapted for Swedish climate and standards, which is surprising given that Timothy is the main forage crop used in Sweden.
