Effects on Aerobic Processes at Silage Faces
(2018-01-31)
In animal nutrition, one of the most important and indispensable requirements is high quality of feed. Especially the staple feed, which builds the basic feed for animals’ rations, has to fulfill high quality criteria. In ...
Vitamin D status and risk of anemia in patients with cardiovascular disease
(2018-03-26)
Vitamin D deficiency and anemia are prevalent in patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD), and both are independent risk factors for increased morbidity and mortality. Epidemiological studies suggest an inverse association ...
MicroRNA-424/503 cluster involvement in regulation of bovine granulosa cell function and oocyte maturation
(2018-01-11)
Several microRNA (miRNA) clusters are known to be differentially regulated during follicular development. Previously, it was reported that the miR-424/503 cluster was highly abundant in bovine granulosa cells (bGCs) of ...
Environmental behavior of cesium and strontium in agricultural and forest soil
(2018-01-11)
Radionuclides are critical soil contaminants, particularly cesium (Cs-137) and strontium (Sr-90) are harmful due to their high radiotoxicity and metabolic similarity to major soil nutrients (e.g. K+, Ca2+) ...
Lucerne silage for high yielding dairy cows: evaluation of the nutritional value using chemical and in vivo methods
(2018-02-07)
Lucerne has a high yield potential and can provide ruminants with significant amounts of energy and protein as well as having excellent structural properties. This thesis focussed on the response (dry matter intake (DMI), ......

Deciphering the role of apoplastic root barriers in the interaction between sedentary nematodes and Arabidopsis
(2018-12-13)
The plant-parasitic nematode species Heterodera schachtii and Meloidogyne incognita infect economically important crop plants in the entire world. Their infection causes yield losses, but effective and environmentally ...
Identification and functional characterization of core effectors from cyst nematodes through comparative genomics
(2018-12-18)
Plant parasitic nematodes (PPNs), are one of the most important constraints in agricultural production causing substantial losses in quantity and quality of food. The economically most important PPNs are the sedentary ...
Metabolic profiling in serum and muscle of dairy cows during the periparturient period and the subsequent lactation
(2018-12-17)
The transition period in dairy cows, spanning three weeks before and after parturition, is characterized by complex metabolic processes required for the homeorhetic adaptation to the needs of late pregnancy and the onset ...
The impact of large-scale land-acquisition in East Africa on poverty reduction and the rural economy: Studies in Ethiopia and Uganda
(2017-02-28)
There is an increasing interest of acquiring farmland abroad, especially following the food price crisis in 2007/08. East Africa is a hotspot of activities, and given the high prevalence of poor people in the area, impacts ...
The Impact of Public Policies on Deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon
(2017-07-03)
Between 2000 and 2012, 2.3m sq. kilometers of tree cover, equivalent to 6.4 times the size of Germany, were lost globally due to land cover change. Forest loss often comes with significant social and environmental costs. ...
