    Abstract : The aim of the present thesis was to investigate hormonal and physiological effects in mothers during a breastfeeding session and in dogs and their owners in response to short-term interaction. In study one, sixty-six mothers receiving either exogenous oxytocin infusion and/or epidural analgesia (EDA) during labor or intramuscular oxytocin injection post partum were studied. READ MORE

  4. 2. Displaced abomasum and ketosis in dairy cows : blood profiles and risk factors

Negative energy balance in early lactation is inevitable and metabolic disorders may follow as a consequence of a deep negative energy balance. READ MORE

  5. 3. A study of the molecular pathways of wood formation using peptide mass spectrometry

    Author : Robert Nilsson; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Wood consists essentially of secondary plant cell walls, composed of a cellulose and hemicellulose network impregnated with lignin. It is formed via the development of derivatives of a thin layer of cells (the vascular cambium) into xylem cells through cell division, expansion, secondary wall formation, lignification and, finally, programmed cell death.

  7. 5. Factors associated with spontaneous oxidized flavour in cow´s milk

    Author : Jessica Juhlin; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Spontaneous oxidized flavour (SOF) is an off-flavour in milk that has received attention in only a few countries, primarily due to lack of monitoring. The poly unsaturated fatty acids in milk are considered to make it more prone to oxidize, with effects like shorter shelf life of dairy products and a reduction in consumer acceptance of milk.
