New doctoral thesis: Milk production from grass and byproducts

Ruminants can produce meat and milk from fibrous feed and byproducts not suitable for human consumption. This thesis investigated the effect of diets high in forage and byproducts, of low human interest, on milk production, feed efficiency, metabolic status, and fertility. Enteric methane emissions when feeding glycerol or starch were also investigated.

Reindeer green‐wave surfing

Reindeer at higher bear densities selected movement paths with lower access to high‐quality forage and deviated more in time from following the peak of the green wave, thus missing out on valuable forage.
