High-level dietary crude protein decreased backfat thickness and increased carcass yield score in finishing Hanwoo beef cattle (Bos taurus coreanae). [PDF]

J Anim Sci Technol, 2021
Recently, a high level of dietary crude protein (CP) has become of interest as a possible practice to improve the carcass quality of beef cattle, and its level has been increasing in the field.

Genetic architecture of backfat thickness in laying hens: implications for extended egg production [PDF]

Genetics Selection Evolution
Background To extend the egg production period of laying hens, it is important to understand the energy trade-offs during the late laying period (after 80 weeks of age) to avoid decreasing egg production or compromising health through inadequate body ...

Identification of Differentially Expressed MicroRNAs and Their Potential Target Genes in Adipose Tissue from Pigs with Highly Divergent Backfat Thickness. [PDF]

Animals (Basel), 2020
Simple Summary The role of microRNA in fat deposition is very important and not clearly understood. We detected 318 pig microRNAs (miRNAs), among high and low backfat tissue samples, by high throughput sequencing.

Transcriptome analysis of miRNA and mRNA in the livers of pigs with highly diverged backfat thickness. [PDF]

Sci Rep, 2019
Fat deposition is very important in pig production, and its mechanism is not clearly understood. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play critical roles in fat deposition and energy metabolism. In the current study, we investigated the mRNA and miRNA transcriptome in the

Association of Twelve Candidate Gene Polymorphisms with the Intramuscular Fat Content and Average Backfat Thickness of Chinese Suhuai Pigs. [PDF]

Animals (Basel), 2019
Simple Summary Appropriate intramuscular fat content (IFC) is the goal of consumers and the direction that breeders must pursue. However, it is difficult to improve the IFC but not average backfat thickness (ABT) by traditional breeding methods, and pigs

Identifying Selection Signatures for Backfat Thickness in Yorkshire Pigs Highlights New Regions Affecting Fat Metabolism. [PDF]

Genes (Basel), 2019
Identifying the genetic basis of improvement in pigs contributes to our understanding of the role of artificial selection in shaping the genome. Here we employed the Cross Population Extended Haplotype Homozogysity (XPEHH) and the Wright’s fixation index

Genome-Wide Association Studies Associated with Backfat Thickness in Landrace and Yorkshire Pigs. [PDF]

Genomics Inform, 2018
Although pork quality traits are important commercially, genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have not well considered Landrace and Yorkshire pigs worldwide. Landrace and Yorkshire pigs are important pork-providing breeds.

The estimation of pork carcass primal cuts value based on backfat thickness [PDF]

Journal of Central European Agriculture, 2015
The aim of the present study was to determine the effect of pork carcass backfat thickness on the dissection efficiency of four primal cuts (ham, loin, shoulder, belly), including correlation coefficients.

Sex-specific microbiota associations with backfat thickness, eye muscle area, and rumen fermentation in Qinchuan cattle [PDF]

BMC Microbiology
Background Ruminant livestock are essential for global food production, and understanding sex-specific rumen fermentation and microbial differences is key to improving production efficiency and meat quality. This study explored sex-specific variations in

Integrated analysis of mRNA and miRNA expression profiles in livers of Yimeng black pigs with extreme phenotypes for backfat thickness. [PDF]

Oncotarget, 2017
Fat deposition is an important economic trait in farm animals as well as obesity related diseases in humans, and the liver is a central organ involved in regulating lipid synthesis and metabolism in mammals.
