Relationships between blood lipids and backfat thickness in growing pigs

Proceedings of the British Society of Animal Science, 1997
Adipose triacylglycerol is mobilised during late pregnancy in humans and rats: the liberated fatty acids are incorporated into very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) by the liver and secreted into the blood stream. Similar hypertriacylglycerolaemia was also found in late-pregnant sows (Wright et al, 1995). It has been shown that VLDL can be separated into

Backfat composition in pigs: Differences between fat thickness groups and sexes

Livestock Production Science, 1989
Abstract The chemical composition of subcutaneous fat (backfat) from the last rib and shoulder regions was studied in 300 pig carcasses, mean weight 58 kg, falling into 3 fat-thickness groups averaging 8, 12 and 16 mm P2 (65 mm from mid dorsal line at last rib). The carcasses were obtained in 10 abattoirs, in each of which 5 producer groups of 6 pigs

Estimates of costs and returns of selecting pigs on growth rate and backfat thickness

Livestock Production Science, 1980
Abstract A computer model was used to investigate the costs and returns from selecting pigs on growth rate and backfat thickness. The cases considered were (1) a closed herd with all parents selected from within the herd; and (2) a base herd where only females were homebred.

[Effect of SNP in the exon 8 of SIM1 gene on backfat thickness in pigs].

Yi chuan = Hereditas, 2009
SNP in exon 8 of the Single-minded 1 (SIM1) gene was detected using PCR-SSCP in 169 pigs of 6 pig breeds including Yorkshire, Duroc, Pietrain, Landrace, Jiaxinghei and Jinhua. The results showed three genotypes (CC, CT, TT) were found and their frequencies between domestic and foreign breeds were different.

Effect of selection for backfat thickness in swine on fetal skeletal muscle metabolism.

Journal of animal science, 1983
At 110 d of gestation, fetuses were removed from sows selected for high (obese) or for low (lean) backfat thickness. The body weights of lean (1,031 +/- 64 g) and obese (864 +/- 55 g) fetuses were not significantly different. Analysis of muscle composition and of in vitro metabolic characteristics was conducted on the biceps femoris muscle.
