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 ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

Genetic investigations on backfat thickness and body condition score in German Holstein cattle [PDF]
Journal of Animal Breeding and GeneticsAbstractUp to now, little has been known about backfat thickness (BFT) in dairy cattle. The objective of this study was to investigate the lactation curve and genetic parameters for BFT as well as its relationship with body condition score (BCS) and milk yield (MKG).

Factors Influencing Feed Efficiency and Backfat Thickness in Station Tested Beef Bulls
, 1995 Records taken on 372 young beef bulls tested at the Ellerslie Bull Test Station, Alberta, Canada from November 1981 to April 1987 were analyzed to quantify the effects of age of dam, on-test age, on-test liveweight and gerd of origin of bull on feed ...
