Skeletal muscle expression analysis of fat metabolism genes in pig
Italian Journal of Animal Science, 2010 Fat content and backfat thickness are important polygenic parameters influencing meat quality and carcass traits in pigs. Up to now, there is a lack of knowledge on the expression level of the genes encoding for enzymes involved in fatty acid metabolism ...

Meta-analyses describing the variables that influence the backfat, belly fat, and jowl fat iodine value of pork carcasses [PDF]
, 2010 Concern about the quality of pork fat has increased in the United States over the last decade, largely because of the increased availability and use of dried distillers grains with solubles (DDGS) in swine diets.

Changes in quality and aroma compounds of Hu sheep with different backfat thicknesses
Applied Food ResearchBackfat thickness demonstrates significant correlations with reproductive efficiency, growth performance, and meat quality parameters in lambs. In this study, we selected six Hu sheep with high backfat thickness and six with low backfat thickness.

AnimalBackfat thickness, a key selection trait in pig-breeding programmes, has traditionally been measured as a homogeneous layer. However, backfat is anatomically structured into three distinct layers, and each layer likely contributes differently to carcass ...

Body fat content, composition and distribution in Landrace and Iberian finishing pigs given ad libitum maize- and acorn-sorghummaize-based diets [PDF]
, 2003 We aimed to determine whether the dietary carbohydrate source altered body fat composition and distribution in finishing lean (Landrace) and obese (Iberian) swine. To this end, twenty-four finishing castrated male pigs (12 Iberian and 12 Landrace; 108 kg
