21. Infant microbiota and short chain fatty acids - relation to lifestyle and effect on health
Sammanfattning : The commensal microbiota has both beneficial and negative effects on the host. It is a source of infectious and inflammatory microorganisms, but may also provide immune stimulation during a critical period during early infancy that possibly offers protection against allergy and other immune mediated diseases.

22. Glycerol supplementation in dairy cows and calves
Sammanfattning : The production of biodiesel from rapeseed oil methyl ester leaves glycerol (synonym: glycerine, 1,2,3-propanetriol) as a valuable by-product and a promising feed supplement for farm animals. This thesis provides information about the supplemental feeding with glycerol to dairy cows in early lactation and to young calves, and describes the fate of glycerol entering the rumen and the impact of glycerol on enteric methane production and gastrointestinal microbial populations.

23. Simulation of Phosphorus, Zinc and Cadmium Mass Flow in Dairy Farming Systems
Sammanfattning : A simulation model, FARMFLOW, was developed for the calculation of phosphorus (P), zinc (Zn) and cadmium (Cd) stocks, flows and balances in different parts of a dairy farming system. The simulated continuous change in element stocks within the farming system enables evaluation of the long-term effects of management practices. LÄS MER
24. Antimicrobial resistant Escherichia coli in faeces from preweaned dairy calves : prevalence, risk factors, and spread
Sammanfattning : Antimicrobial resistant (AMR) bacteria are increasing threats for human and veterinary medicine. Faecal Escherichia coli (E. coli) from preweaned dairy calves is often resistant to multiple antimicrobials and calves may therefore serve as reservoirs for these bacteria and their resistance genes.

25. Restructuring the agri-food value chains in post-socialistic Balkans : the dairy value chain in FYR Macedonia
Sammanfattning : Like most of the Western-Balkan countries, the Former Yugoslav Republic (FYR) of Macedonia experienced significant difficulties in adapting and modernizing its agricultural production in accordance to the highly competitive regional and EU markets. By examining the dairy value chain of the FYR Macedonia, this thesis presents the challenges and changes in the organizational and institutional setting of the agri-food value chains in post-socialist Balkan countries.
