Carcass Characteristics and Primal Pork Cuts of Gilts, Boars, Immunocastrates and Barrows Using AutoFOM III Data of a Commercial Abattoir [PDF]
Animals, 2020 The surgical castration of male piglets as a routine procedure in modern pig production is facing increasing societal criticism. Pork production with boars and immunocastrates are available alternatives, but both have low market shares as it is so far ...

Application of AutoFom III equipment for prediction of primal and commercial cut weight of Korean pig carcasses [PDF]
Asian-Australasian Journal of Animal Sciences, 2018 Objective This study was conducted to enable on-line prediction of primal and commercial cut weights in Korean slaughter pigs by AutoFom III, which non-invasively scans pig carcasses early after slaughter using ultrasonic sensors.

Correlation between the Korean pork grade system and the amount of pork primal cut estimated with AutoFom III [PDF]
Journal of Animal Science and Technology, 2022 It is impossible to know the amount of pork primal cut by pig carcass grade which is determined only by carcass weight and backfat thickness in the Korean Pig Carcass System.

Comparison of an advanced automated ultrasonic scanner (AutoFom III) and a handheld optical probe (Destron PG-100) to determine lean yield in pork carcasses [PDF]
Journal of Animal Science, 2023 AbstractThis study compared the accuracy of two methods for predicting carcass leanness (i.e., predicted lean yield) with fat-free lean yields obtained by manual carcass side cut-out and dissection of lean, fat, and bone components. The two prediction methods evaluated in this study estimated lean yield by measuring fat thickness and muscle depth at ...

Comparison of pork belly characteristics and weights of primal cuts between gilt and barrow of Landrace × Yorkshire × Duroc pigs measured by AutoFomIII [PDF]
Journal of Animal Science and Technology, 2023 Currently, pigs breed in Korea are LYD (Landrace × Yorkshire × Duroc) crossbred pigs. Pigs used as fresh meat are gilts and barrows. However, the current supply of pork is not satisfying Korean consumers.

A deep learning-based framework for predicting pork preference [PDF]
Current Research in Food Science, 2023 Meat consumption per capita in South Korea has steadily increased over the last several years and is predicted to continue increasing. Up to 69.5% of Koreans eat pork at least once a week. Considering pork-related products produced and imported in Korea,

Characteristics of Pig Carcass and Primal Cuts Measured by the Autofom Ⅲ Depend on Seasonal Classification. [PDF]
Food Sci Anim Resour, 2019 The objective of this study was to investigate slaughtering performance, carcass grade, and quantitative traits of cuts according to seasonal influence by each month in pigs slaughtered in livestock processing complex (LPC) slaughterhouse in Korea, 2017. A total of 267,990 LYD (Landrace×Yorkshire×Duroc) pig data were used in this study.

Association between mitochondrial DNA copy number and production traits in pigs. [PDF]
J Anim Breed GenetAbstract Mitochondria are essential organelles in the regulation of cellular energetic metabolism. Mitochondrial DNA copy number (mtDNA_CN) can be used as a proxy for mitochondria number, size, and activity. The aims of our study are to evaluate the effect of mtDNA_CN and mitochondrial haploblocks on production traits in pigs, and to identify the ...

Clostridium butyricum and carbohydrate active enzymes contribute to the reduced fat deposition in pigs. [PDF]
ImetaIn the present study, we found significant differences in microbial composition and potential functional capacity among different gut locations in Jinhua pigs with distinct fatness phenotypes. Second, we identified that Jinhua pigs with lower fatness exhibited higher levels of short‐chain fatty acids in the colon, highlighting their enhanced ...

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, Volume 140, Issue 4, Page 413-430, July 2023., 2023 Abstract Fat depth (FD) and muscle depth (MD) are economically important traits and used to estimate carcass lean content (LMP), which is one of the main breeding objectives in pig breeding programmes. We assessed the genetic architectures of body composition traits for additive and dominance effects in commercial crossbred Piétrain pigs using both 50 ...
