  1. 1. The effect of forage on piglets’ behavior in connection with weaning

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

    Author : Linnea Wikars; [2021]
    Keywords : behaviour; enrichment; forage; pig; silage; weaning;

    Abstract : Pigs’ (Sus scrofa) behaviors are affected by the environment they are housed in, where an enriched environment offers pigs to perform more diverse behaviors. Pigs reared in barren environments perform more oral manipulation toward their pen mates, compared to pigs reared in enriched environments. READ MORE

  3. 2. Analysis of stellar spectra with machine learning

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Astronomi - Genomgår omorganisation; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för astronomi och teoretisk fysik - Genomgår omorganisation

    Author : Alvaro Segovia Otero; [2020]
    Keywords : Galactic Archaeology; machine learning; chemical abundances; FGK stars; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : Researchers in the field of Galactic Archaeology have entered the era of industrial revolution. Upcoming surveys are planning on observing tens of millions of stars and high precision and accuracy must be ensured when deriving their stellar parameters and elemental abundances. READ MORE

  4. 3. Do variations in the initial mass function affect galaxy evolution?

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Astronomi - Genomgår omorganisation; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för astronomi och teoretisk fysik - Genomgår omorganisation

    Author : Mateo Prgomet; [2020]
    Keywords : galaxy; galaxy formation; galaxy evolution; feedback; star formation; ultra faint dwarf galaxy; initial mass function; variations; universe; redshift; hydrodynamics; cosmology; zoomed-in simulations Galaxy formation and evolution; galaxy feedback; stellar feedback; IMF variations; cosmological zoomed-in simulations; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : The initial mass function (IMF) describes the stellar mass distribution for a population of stars at birth. This parameter represents a topic of long standing discussion within astronomy due to its apparent insensitive nature to environmental conditions. However, in the last decade, significant evidence suggesting the contrary has been presented. READ MORE

  5. 4. Strukturell respektive kognitiv miljöberikning : vad betyder det för grisen?

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Biomedical Sciences and Veterinary Public Health

    Author : Nora Signér; [2014]
    Keywords : gris; kognitiv; miljöberikning; beteende; stress; inlärning; djurvälfärd; pig; cognitive; environmental enrichment; behaviour; stress; learning; animal welfare;

    Abstract : Tamgrisar (Sus scrofa domestica) har i stort sett kvar samma beteenden som de vildsvin (Sus scrofa) de stammar från. Inom den storskaliga produktionen är de lagstadgade kraven på sysselsättningsmöjligheter för grisarna väldigt låga eller helt obefintliga. READ MORE

  6. 5. Influence of providing objects to piglets before and after weaning on behaviour and weight gain

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Environment and Health

    Author : Pernilla Hultman; [2013]
    Keywords : enrichment objects; piglets; play; weaning; manipulation; piglet;

    Abstract : Barren rearing environment and early weaning of piglets can lead to a high level of distress, behavioural disturbances and reduction in weight gain. The main aim of this thesis was to study the effects of potential enrichment objects on piglet’s behaviour and weight gain during the pre- and post-weaning period. READ MORE
