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 ...

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 ...

Quantitative Trait Loci Mapping for Porcine Backfat Thickness

Asian-Australasian Journal of Animal Sciences, 2002
A partial genome scan using porcine microsatellites was carried out to detect quantitative trait loci (QTL) for backfat thickness (BFT) in a pig reference population. This population carried QTL on chromosomes 1, 13 and 18. The QTL on chromosome 1 was located between marker loci S0113 and SW1301.

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.

Genome-Wide Profiling of the Microrna Transcriptome Regulatory Network to Identify Putative Candidate Genes Associated with Backfat Deposition in Pigs

Animals, 2019
Backfat deposition is strongly related to carcass traits, growth rate, feed conversion rate, and reproductive performance in pig production. To understand the molecular mechanisms underlying porcine backfat thickness phenotypes, transcriptome and miRNA ...

Differences in gene expression profiles for subcutaneous adipose, liver, and skeletal muscle tissues between Meishan and Landrace pigs with different backfat thicknesses. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
Backfat thickness is one of the most important traits of commercially raised pigs. Meishan pigs are renowned for having thicker backfat than Landrace pigs. To examine the genetic factors responsible for the differences, we first produced female crossbred
