Association of Body Condition Score with Ultrasound Measurements of Backfat and Longissimus Dorsi Muscle Thickness in Periparturient Holstein Cows

Animals, 2021
Simple Summary Association of body condition scoring with the amount and mobilization of backfat and skeletal muscle around calving in dairy cows, although essential, has not been sufficiently investigated yet. The metabolic state of subcutaneous fat can

Genome-wide association study for backfat thickness in Canchim beef cattle using Random Forest approach. [PDF]

, 2013
Background: Meat quality involves many traits, such as marbling, tenderness, juiciness, and backfat thickness, all of which require attention from livestock producers.

Oxidative Stress and Inflammation in Sows with Excess Backfat: Up-Regulated Cytokine Expression and Elevated Oxidative Stress Biomarkers in Placenta

Animals, 2019
In sows, excess backfat during late gestation is associated with increased farrowing difficulties and influences the fetus, but the impact of backfat thickness on placental inflammation, oxidative stress, and vascular development has not been defined. In

Shunt fostering on a large-scale commercial pig farm in Hungary: Interplay between backfat thickness and piglet weaning performance [PDF]

BIO Web of Conferences
Shunt 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.
