  1. 1. Analysis of relatedness and genetic diversity in Swedish sheep breeds using medium density (50K) SNP data

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

    Author : Krishani Devika Wijesinghe Sinhalage; [2023]
    Keywords : sheep; genetic diversity; population structure; inbreeding; runs of homozygosity; coat colour; MC1R;

    Abstract : The local Swedish sheep breeds belong to a group of sheep breeds known as North European short-tailed sheep breeds. Evaluation of genetic diversity, relatedness, and population structure of local breeds offers crucial metrics to prevent inbreeding depression, genetic erosion, and crossbreeding between locally adapted and exotic sheep breeds since these occurrences can have detrimental effects and ultimately lead to extinction.

  3. 2. Microbial diversity in Swedish breeds of sheep analysed by amplicon based sequencing

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Anatomy, Physiology and Biochemistry

    Author : Farzana Nazir; [2023]
    Keywords : Ruminants; Microbiome; NGS; Bioinformatics; Statistical Analysis; Metagenomics; Data Analysis;

    Abstract : The gastrointestinal tract (GIT) of ruminants have divergent type of microbiome provides favourable environment for their growth. In many species, these microbiome considered as important source of assessing animal health & welfare. READ MORE

  4. 3. Genetic diversity within Swedish national heritage cultivars of gooseberry, Ribes uva-crispa

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

    Author : Josefine Nordlander; [2021]
    Keywords : genetic diversity; heterozygosity; molecular characterization; PCoA; pomological heritage; Ribes grossularia; Ribes uva-crispa; SSR markers;

    Abstract : In the year 2000, the National program for diversity of cultivated plants (Pom) was established, aiming to recover old, Swedish fruit and berry cultivars that historically have been important for breeding and commercial production. A collection of mandate cultivars of Ribes uva-crispa (gooseberry) containing valuable accessions was created. READ MORE

  5. 4. Ciona (Ciona intestinalis) as a source of fibre for chickens : Effects on productive performance, organs weights and caecal microbiota

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Nutrition and Management

    Author : Qasim Mashood; [2019]
    Keywords : Broiler; dietary fibre; ciona; cellulose; gut microbiota; sodium;

    Abstract : In this experimental study broiler birds were fed in a randomized block design for 32 days on a control diet (C) based on wheat and soy bean meal and two experimental diets containing 2% (C2) and 4% ciona meal (C4) to examine the suitability of Ciona intestinalis in poultry feed as a source of fibre and its effects on growth performance, microbial composition and digestive traits. Luminal content was taken from caeca at day 12 and 32 and analysed for microbiota profile and short chain fatty acids (SCFA). READ MORE

  6. 5. Populationsstudie av gulrost (Puccinia striiformis) i Skåne under odlingssäsongen 2015

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Mycology and Plant Pathology

    Author : Mikael Nilsson; [2016]
    Keywords : gulrost; Puccinia striiformis; vete; berberis; populationsbiologi; växtskydd;

    Abstract : Gulrost är en sjukdom i vete (Triticum aestivum) och rågvete (Triticale) orsakad av svampen Puccinia striiformis forma specialis tritici. I Sverige var sjukdomen länge av mindre betydelse, men sedan 2007 är kraftiga angrepp mer regel än undantag. READ MORE
