A cow that has a ground pad in her resting box and the freedom to move naturally in order to get up and lie down, shows increased milk production, less disease and reduced risk of teat lesions.
The 1st International Conference on Integrative Salmonid Biology (ICISB) will be held in Oslo, Norway, on June 17th – 20th, 2012 and is intended to provide a forum to discuss recent developments and future plans for salmonid biology and genomics.
(Preliminary) The main objective for the seminar is to set focus on how to lower greenhouse gas emission from agriculture without compromising food production.
Salmon and rainbow trout digest protein in plant-based feed better with inclusion of acid salts in combination with high temperature during extrusion. This is shown in a doctoral thesis by Thea Morken from Aquaculture Protein Centre.
