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.

Resource-Efficient Classification and Early Predictions of Carcass Composition in Fattening Pigs by Means of Ultrasound Examinations

Agriculture, 2020
The development of the backfat thickness of fattening pigs in relation to their weight allows first conclusions to be drawn concerning the efficiency of individual growth and classification of the carcass.

Haplotypes of the porcine peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor delta gene are associated with backfat thickness

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)

An overview of hourly rhythm of demand-feeding pattern by a controlled feeding system on productive performance of lactating sows during summer

Italian Journal of Animal Science, 2018
The present study investigated the impacts of the conventional feeder and free feeding time (FFT), and backfat thickness (

Pen Versus Crate: A Comparative Study on the Effects of Different Farrowing Systems on Farrowing Performance, Colostrum Yield and Piglet Preweaning Mortality in Sows under Tropical Conditions

Animals, 2023
The present study was performed to determine the farrowing performance of sows, newborn piglet characteristics, colostrum yield, milk yield and piglet preweaning mortality in a free-farrowing pen compared to a conventional farrowing crate system in a ...

Genetic background of body reserves in laying hens through backfat thickness phenotyping

Peer Community Journal
In this study, we pursued three primary objectives: firstly to test and validate the pheno-typing of backfat thickness as an indicator of the overall fatness of laying hens; secondly, to estimate genetic parameters for this trait; thirdly, to study the ...

Effect of TG and DGAT1 polymorphisms on beef carcass traits and fatty acid profile [PDF]

Acta Veterinaria, 2013
The objectives of this study were to determine allele frequency and genotype count of thyroglobulin (TG) and diacylglycerol-0-acyltransferase-1 (DGAT1) genes encoding the TG and DGAT1 enzymes, and to determine the effect of TG and DGAT1 polymorphisms ...

Effect of feeding fermentable fibrerich feedstuffs on meat quality with emphasis on chemical and sensory boar taint in entire male and female pigs [PDF]

, 2008
Skatole, androstenone and other compounds such as indole cause boar taint in entire male pork. However, female pigs also produce skatole and indole. The purpose of this experiment was to minimise boar taint and increase overall impression of sensory ...

Genetic parameters of backfat fatty acids and carcass traits in Large White pigs

Animal, 2019
Subcutaneous fat thickness and fatty acid composition (FAC) play an important role on seasoning loss and organoleptic characteristics of seasoned hams. Dry-cured ham industry prefers meats with low contents of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) because ...
