  1. 21. Extrusion of grass silage and its effect on feed intake, milk production and ingestive behaviour of dairy cows

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

    Author : Markos Managos; [2020]
    Keywords : extrusion; grass silage; dairy cows; milk production; milk composition; rumen pH; ingestive behaviour;

    Abstract : Grass and clover ley is the main forage crop in Sweden, however, its restrictive role in feed intake limits the total amount included in the diet of a dairy cow. This study examined the effect of extrusion on grass silage intake, milk production, ingestive behaviour and rumen pH. READ MORE

  3. 22. Factors influencing the generation of carbon monoxide in fires partially suppressed through water mist application

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

    Author : Haydn Lewis; [2020]
    Keywords : Fire safety engineering; water mist; fire suppression; carbon monoxide; water; combustion; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Fires in the built environment typically consist of diffusion flames with inefficient mixing of fuel and oxygen, resulting in a degree of incomplete combustion and the generation of carbon monoxide. Fire suppression systems, used to control the growth and spread of fire, influence the combustion reaction process. READ MORE

  4. 23. The digesta passage rate among dairy cows with different abilities to consume large quantities of roughage : its impact on the milk production, and the reliability of the chemical fibre marker

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

    Author : Maria Elisabeth Eklund; [2020]
    Keywords : chemical markers; chromium; chromium mordanted fibre; cobalt; concen-trate level; EDTA; iNDF; mean re-tention time; ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid; forage consumption; indigestible neutral detergent fibre; liquid digesta phase; MRT; rumen evacuation; sol;

    Abstract : The objectives of the present master thesis were to investigate the passage rate among lactating Holstein and Swedish red dairy cows to investigate the hypotheses of: 1) The cows’ individual total mean retention time (TMRT) has a negative relationship to the cows’ individual forage intake capacity. 2) A reduced TMRT contributes to a reduced feed efficiency, but a higher milk yield.

  5. 24. European perch (Perca fluviatilis) as a possible predator of the invasive round goby (Neogobius melanostomus) in the Baltic Sea

    University essay from SLU/Dept. Of Aquatic Resources

    Author : Mari-Helen Westlund; [2020]
    Keywords : Baltic Sea; invasive species; Round goby; Perch; prey-predator interaction;

    Abstract : Invasive species is a global issue with a strong link to reduced biodiversity and large economic costs. The invasive fish species round goby (Neogobius melanostomus) is one of the species that are spreading in the Baltic Sea area most rapidly, and risk causing major issues. READ MORE

  6. 25. Faktorer som påverkar proteinnedbrytning och kväveeffektivitet hos mjölkkor

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

    Author : Kajsa Ståhlberg; [2020]
    Keywords : protein; kväve; nedbrytning; utnyttjande; mikroorganismer; våmmen; urea; mjölkko;

    Abstract : Svenska mjölkkor utfodras idag med en stor andel protein för att upprätthålla en hög mjölkproduktion. Protein är ett viktigt näringsämne som bland annat stimulerar syntes av mjölk. För att säkerställa en hög mjölkavkastning finns det en risk att mjölkkon överutfodras med protein som inte kan utnyttjas. READ MORE
