1. 1. In Defense of Consuming Animal Products : How Human Suffering Can Justify the Consumption of Animal Products in Developed Countries

   Kandidat-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Filosofiska institutionen

   Författare :Dennis Magyari Djerdj; [2024]
   Nyckelord :Animal Ethics; Applied Ethics; Ethics; Veganism; Eating Meat; Animal Products; Consuming; Against Veganism; Defending Meat Consumption; Animal Welfare;

   Sammanfattning : Within the area of animal ethics, there has been ongoing discussion around whether people in developed countries are justified in consuming animal based products or not, some argue that we are, and some argue that we aren't. In this paper I present a kind of middle-way position in response to the ongoing discussion, in which I argue that a decent chunk of a population in developed countries are justified in consuming certain animal products, but only so far as the exclusion of these animal based products would cause harm to the boycotter.

3. 2. Estimating Variant Intolerance for Genes of Cattle

   Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Animal Breeding and Genetics

   Författare :Simon Lanigan; [2024]
   Nyckelord :Genes; Cattle;

   Sammanfattning : Cattle play a crucial role in providing nutrition and economic stability worldwide. Threats to their health, particularly infectious diseases, and genetic mutations, can have profound implications for both animal and human livelihoods. LÄS MER

4. 3. Analysis of relatedness and genetic diversity in Swedish sheep breeds using medium density (50K) SNP data

   Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Animal Breeding and Genetics

   Författare :Krishani Devika Wijesinghe Sinhalage; [2023]
   Nyckelord :sheep; genetic diversity; population structure; inbreeding; runs of homozygosity; coat colour; MC1R;

   Sammanfattning : The local Swedish sheep breeds belong to a group of sheep breeds known as North European short-tailed sheep breeds. Evaluation of genetic diversity, relatedness, and population structure of local breeds offers crucial metrics to prevent inbreeding depression, genetic erosion, and crossbreeding between locally adapted and exotic sheep breeds since these occurrences can have detrimental effects and ultimately lead to extinction.

5. 4. Är mjölkprover en alternativ provtagningsmetod för diagnostik av lentivirus hos små idisslare?

   Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Clinical Sciences

   Författare :Elin Fogelberg; [2023]
   Nyckelord :maedi-visna; kaprin artrit encefalit; SRLV; serum; mjölk; pool; frysning; kontrollprogram; ELISA;

   Sammanfattning : Lentivirus hos små idisslare (engelska: small ruminant lentivirus; SRLV) innefattar två olika virus: visna-maedivirus (VMV) och kaprin artrit encefalitvirus (CAEV). Dessa två virus orsakar kroniska infektioner hos små idisslare som slutligen leder till döden. LÄS MER

7. 5. Relatedness and diversity in Swedish local chicken breeds using mitochondrial DNA D-loop sequences and SNP data

   Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Animal Breeding and Genetics

   Författare :Esther Taiwo Afolabi; [2023]
   Nyckelord :chicken; genetic diversity; mtDNA d-loop; SNP; Swedish local chicken breeds;

   Sammanfattning : Genetic diversity is the variation in genetic information carried by individuals within a species or population. This variability plays a crucial role in enabling species to adapt and survive in changing environments and is essential for evolutionary processes. LÄS MER
