  1. 1. The Impact of Oat and Fruit Consumption on Short-Chain Fatty Acid Production

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

    Author : Johanna Margaretha Schilder; [2023]
    Keywords : short-chain fatty acids; SCFAs; diet; gas chromatography; serum; mice; applied nutrition and food chemistry; Agriculture and Food Sciences;

    Abstract : This study explored the importance of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) in maintaining gut health and how different diets affect their levels. Blood plasma and serum samples from mice subjected to two intervention studies on oats and fruits were analysed to determine SCFA concentrations. READ MORE

  5. 4. Development of a Near Infrared Spectroscopy Model for Prediction of Fibre Compounds in Alfalfa

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Teknisk mikrobiologi

    Author : Christina Andersen; [2020]
    Keywords : alfalfa; lucerne; medicago sativa; green protein powder; NIR; near infrared spectroscopy; model development; matlab; PLS; partial least squares; PCA; principal component analysis; SNV; standard normal variate; fibre prediction; TDF; total dietary fibre; applied microbiology; teknisk mikrobiologi; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : 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

  6. 5. 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
