Animal Genetics, Volume 53, Issue 6, Page 782-793, December 2022., 2022 Abstract The 1‐acylglycerol‐3‐phosphate O‐acyltransferases (AGPATs) are enzymes that catalyze the conversion of lysophosphatidic acid to phosphatidic acid, which is a precursor of triacylglycerol, the main fat reservoir in mammals. We used whole‐genome sequencing of 205 pigs to identify 6639 genetic variants in the porcine AGPAT gene family.

Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, Volume 106, Issue 5, Page 1017-1035, September 2022., 2022 Abstract Pig production depends on a health and performance balance. An approach to improve intestinal health is the oregano essential oil (OEO) supplementation within a conventional diet. Intestinal integrity regulating effects, for example gene expression, of some feed ingredients are important key factors for that balance.

Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, Volume 105, Issue 1, Page 59-71, January 2021., 2021 Abstract The present study was conducted to evaluate the effect of two Zn supplemented levels and two Zn and Cu sources (sulphate and hydroxychloride) on growing‐finishing pigs. An in vitro study and an in vivo study were conducted. In the in vitro study, Zn solubility from each source at different Zn supplementation levels was evaluated, as well as ...

Identification of a novel QTL for lean meat percentage using imputed genotypes
Animal Genetics, Volume 55, Issue 4, Page 658-663, August 2024.Abstract Lean meat percentage is a critical production trait in pig breeding systems with direct implications for the sustainability of the industry. In this study, we conducted a genome‐wide association study for lean meat percentage using a cohort of 850 Duroc × (Landrace × Yorkshire) crossbred pigs and we identified QTL on SSC3 and SSC18.
