Carbohydrate–Protein Hydrogels as Fat Replacers: Design Criteria and Benchmarking Against Full‐Fat Systems

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 3, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Reducing saturated fat while preserving the sensory quality of full‐fat foods remains a major formulation challenge because fat contributes simultaneously to body, lubrication, flavor delivery, and thermal transitions. Carbohydrate–protein (CP) hydrogels are increasingly explored as oil‐free fat replacers, but many systems are developed and ...

Genetic Parameter Estimation for Plasma Biomarkers Associated With Energy Reserves During Critical Physiological Stages in Sheep

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, Volume 143, Issue 3, Page 443-456, May 2026.
ABSTRACT The ability of ruminants to mobilise and restore body reserves (BR) over time, referred to as BR dynamics, is currently considered an interesting biological component to be included in breeding programs targeting enhanced BR resilience. However, genetic studies of proxies for BR levels and BRD remain scarce, particularly in small ruminants ...

The relationship between body condition score and backfat in gestating sows [PDF]

, 2001
Backfat and body condition score were measured on 731 sows in a commercial swine facility to assess the accuracy of feeding sows in gestation based on body condition score.

Immunocastration and its effects on carcass and meat traits of male pigs

Semina: Ciências Agrárias, 2018
To compose the experiment, 160 male Topgen pigs - 80 surgically castrated (treatment 1) and 80 immunocastrated (treatment 2) - were randomly selected from a commercial swine farm at the moment of slaughter.

Genetic Parameters for Novel Feedlot Profitability‐Related Traits in Nelore Cattle

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, Volume 143, Issue 3, Page 411-421, May 2026.
ABSTRACT This study aimed to estimate (co)variance components and genetic parameters for accumulated profitability (AFP) and profit per kilogram of liveweight gain (PFT), and their relationships with weight at 450 days of age (W450), scrotal circumference at 365 days of age (SC365), age at first calving (AFC), probability of precocious calving at 30 ...

Dietary supplementation of delta-aminolevulinic acid to lactating sows improves growth performance and concentration of iron and hemoglobin of suckling piglets

Indian Journal of Animal Sciences, 2016
To confirm whether dietary supplementation of delta-aminolevulinic acid (δ-ALA) to lactating sow improves iron concentration of suckling piglets, 24 gestating sows [(Yorkshire × Landrace), before 14–day of farrowing] and their litters were evaluated on ...

Genome-wide association study of the backfat thickness trait in two pig populations [PDF]

, 2014
Backfat thickness is a good predictor of carcass lean content, an economically important trait, and a main breeding target in pig improvement. In this study, the candidate genes and genomic regions associated with the tenth rib backfat thickness trait ...

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 ...

Correlation analysis of primal cuts weight, fat contents, and auction prices in Landrace × Yorkshire × Duroc pig carcasses by VCS2000

Journal of Animal Science and Technology
Currently, in pork auctions in Korea, only carcass weight and backfat thickness provide information on meat quantity, while the production volume of primal cuts and fat contents remains largely unknown. This study aims to predict the production of primal
