Alle okser over ett år som ikke har tilgang til beite i beitesesongen skal kunne komme ut i luftegård hele året og luftes minst to ganger i uka, opplyser saksbehandler Petter Almaas i Debio. Det betyr at okser som kommer på sommerbeite første året ikke trenger luftegård neste vinter.

The aim of this study was to use Energy-Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDS) to localize chitosan in the cell wall of chitosan impregnated Scots pine. It is of both general and specific interest to investigate the concentration of chitosan in the wood matrix to gain further knowledge and understanding of chitosan as a wood protective system.After deacetylation, chitosan was re-acetylated with chloroacetic anhydride to achieve a covalent bonding of chloride to the chitosan polymer. Chloride labeled chitosan was measured by EDS using a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and described in apparent concentration of chloride. Analysis for free chloride anions was tested by dialysis and ion chromatography.There was a significant correlation between the molecular weight of chitosan and the apparent concentration of covalent bonded chloride to the chitosan polymer. High molecular weight chitosan showed a better interaction with the cell wall structure than low molecular chitosan.

In the process of studying how climatic changes will influence important forage crops at high latitudes, van Oijen et al. (2005) developed a plant model for two grass species, timothy (Phleum pratense L.) and perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.). In order to study winter survival of the plants, the plant model requires routines to simulate winter conditions, such as snow accumulation, soil frost, ice cover and soil temperature. This report describes the development of the SnowFrost model that simulates snow accumulation and the formation of soil frost. Routines for simulating ice encasement will be added at a later stage. The SnowFrost model implements a degree-day-temperatureindex method in the snowmelt routines, and an energy balance approach to get an algebraic expression for soil frost formation. Our main focus when developing the winter model is to adequately simulate winter conditions from the plant's point of view, rather than accurately simulate the depths of snow cover and soil frost penetration. Simulations for a site with cold and stable winter conditions show promising results, and indicate that SnowFrost is suitable as a foundation for the continuing work of developing the winter routines for the plant model.
