Analysis of backfat thickness in on-farm tested gilts in Slovenia using reaction norms
Acta Agriculturae Slovenica, 2015 Animals have the ability to respond to differences in environment, which can be called phenotypic plasticity or environment sensitivity. Robust animal, that show little variability across environments, are less sensitive. Therefore, the aim of this study

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.

Relationships between backfat thickness and reproductive efficiency of sows: A two-year trial involving two commercial herds fixing backfat thickness at breeding [PDF]
Canadian Journal of Animal Science, 2010 In this study, we established whether controlling backfat thickness at breeding over a long time period can result in optimized reproductive performance in sows. Two commercial herds were used: herd A (322 purebred Landrace sows) and herd B (337 cross-bred Yorkshire-Landrace sows).

Effect of gilt growth rate and backfat thickness on reproductive performance
Acta agriculturae Slovenica. Suplement, 2012 Objective of this study was to analyze the effect of growth rate and backfat thickness at the end of test on reproductive performance in the first three parities, and association with lifetime productivity and longevity. Data of gilt productive and sow reproductive performance from large Slovenian multiplying farms was used.

Shunt fostering on a large-scale commercial pig farm in Hungary: Interplay between backfat thickness and piglet weaning performance [PDF]
BIO Web of ConferencesShunt fostering, also known as fall-behind management, is a unique piglet management strategy in commercial pig farming. We investigated the effects of shunt fostering on sow backfat thickness and piglet weaning.

Haplotypes of the porcine peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor delta gene are associated with backfat thickness [PDF]
BMC Genetics, 2009 Background Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor delta belongs to the nuclear receptor superfamily of ligand-inducible transcription factors. It is a key regulator of lipid metabolism. The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor delta gene (PPARD)

Fixed effects in models for the genetic evaluation of backfat thickness and time on test in gilts
Italian Journal of Animal Science, 2010 Fixed effects in the model for backfat thickness and the time on test were evaluated. Data records from large scale farm in period from January 1998 to December 2007 were analyzed. Two models were developed.

Transcriptome analysis of miRNA and mRNA in the livers of pigs with highly diverged backfat thickness. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2019 AbstractFat 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 livers of Landrace pigs with extreme backfat thickness to explore miRNA-mRNA regulatory ...

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. Although quantitative trait loci of pigs are well-developed, significant genes in GWASs of pigs in Korea must be studied ...

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.
