HAVBRUKS-Havbruk - en næring i vekst

Combining biomarkers from salmon metabonomics, genomics and proteomics with high-field NMR profiling of fish feed nutrients

Improvements of salmon feed are complex and very expensive, because evaluation of new ingredients and their formulation is by long term feeding trials. The main objective of this program is to develop biomarkers to reduce the time and expense involved wit h feeding trials. Increased speed will al...
