Backfat thickness in pigs is positively associated with leptin mRNA levels
Canadian Journal of Animal Science, 1998The obese (ob) gene isolated from ob/ob mice in 1994 is expressed specifically in adipose tissue. The gene product, leptin, regulates food intake, energy expenditure and puberty. Reported herein is a 2477 bp mRNA sequence for the pig obese gene, which includes the complete coding sequence.

The effect of backfat thickness at mating on the reproductive and productive performances of ewes
Small Ruminant Research, 2012Three Egyptian sheep breeds (Rahmani, n = 40; Barki, n = 50; Ossimi, n = 36) were used to investigate the effect of backfat thickness of ewes, at mating, on their subsequent reproductive and productive performances. Ewes were assigned to four groups, according to their backfat thickness (

The causes of seasonal variation in backfat thickness of pigs in Western Australia
Australian Journal of Agricultural Research, 2004Anecdotal observations suggest that pigs get fatter at certain times of the year. Abattoir data from a major Western Australian genotype were investigated to determine whether there is seasonal variation in P2, and if so, what factors may contribute to this.

A comparison of ultrasonic machines for the prediction of backfat thickness in the live pig
Australian Journal of Experimental Agriculture and Animal Husbandry, 1984Measurements of the backfat thickness over the last rib, 65 mm from the dorsal midline, were taken on 122 live pigs with five different ultasonic machines: Sonatest, Medata, Renco, Sonalyser and Ilis. These measurements were examined for their ability to predict the corresponding carcass introscope measurements.

Relationships between blood lipids and backfat thickness in growing pigs
Proceedings of the British Society of Animal Science, 1997Adipose 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, 1989Abstract 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
