1. Development of a Near Infrared Spectroscopy Model for Prediction of Fibre Compounds in Alfalfa
University essay from Lunds universitet/Teknisk mikrobiologiAbstract : Background: This project investigates if it is possible to develop a calibration model from near infrared (NIR) spectroscopic measurements, for determination of the amount and type of fibre fractions within protein powder produced from the legume alfalfa, without performing wet experiments. Alfalfa is also known as Medicago sativa and lucerne, but is in this project further referred to as alfalfa. READ MORE

2. The effect of a feruloyl esterase producing inoculant along with mechanical treatment prior to ensiling on fibre digestibility of grass silage
University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Nutrition and ManagementAbstract : Plant fibre is the main portion of dairy cattle diets. It is also important in maintaining health and proper function of the rumen. However, digestibility of fibre is relatively low, and, in most cases, it is not more than 60%. In cell walls of grasses and cereals, lignin and hemicellulose are connected, forming a matrix. READ MORE

3. Exploring Deep Eutectic Solvent Pretreatment and Laccase Biobleaching on Oat Hulls in Efforts to Overcome Recalcitrance
University essay from Lunds universitet/Bioteknik (master); Lunds universitet/Bioteknik (CI)Abstract : Oat production produces an abundant side stream product called oat hulls, formally regarded as a waste product. These oat hulls are nutritionally packed, containing insoluble dietary fibres. The solubilization and subsequent enzymatic hydrolysis of insoluble fibres, i.e. READ MORE

4. Intensively processed silage using Bio-extruder : effects on gas production and forage digestibility
University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Nutrition and ManagementAbstract : The dairy cow requires a high feed intake to maintain a high milk production and forage is a crucial component in dairy cows diet. Forage stimulates chewing activity and rumination which contributes to a normal and effective rumen function. READ MORE

5. Chewing behaviour and particle size distribution in faeces in sheep fed silages of whole-crop barley and grass
University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Environment and HealthAbstract : Sheep in Sweden are generally kept on pasture when suitable and fed with a diet consisting mainly of forage, composed mainly by grass, when kept indoors. Lamb production in Sweden is steadily growing and with that the interest of different feedstuff to get a profitable production. READ MORE
