Effect of feeding fermentable fibrerich feedstuffs lupin and chicory prior to slaughter with special emphasis on the effect on chemical boar taint in organic entire male and female pigs and technological meat quality [PDF]

, 2007
Boar taint is an off-flavour of pork caused primarily by skatole and, androstenone. Pig off-odour and flavour mostly caused by higher skatole concentrations in backfat.

Large deletions in the DNA primase large subunit PRIM2 are associated with NADP‐malate dehydrogenase activity in a porcine F2 cross

Animal Genetics, Volume 57, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract Large porcine F2 crosses are a valuable resource for discovering QTL and genetic variants for relevant traits. Past studies have been largely limited to SNPs and short insertions and deletions. Structural variants (SVs) are becoming a major area of interest in this respect.

Identification and characterization of dairy cows with different backfat thickness antepartum in relation to postpartum loss of backfat thickness: A cluster analytic approach

Journal of Dairy Science, 2022
: The objectives of this study were (1) to characterize the interindividual variation in the relationship between antepartum (ap) backfat thickness (BFT) and subsequent BFT loss during early lactation in a large dairy herd using cluster analysis; (2) to ...

Nexus of Whey Proteins, Gut Dysbiosis, and Colonic Health

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 2, February 2026.
Whey proteins possess antimicrobial and prebiotic properties that modulate gut microbiota by promoting beneficial bacteria like Bifidobacterium while suppressing pathogens. This modulation enhances short‐chain fatty acid production and strengthens intestinal barrier integrity, potentially alleviating dysbiosis‐related conditions such as colitis and ...

Association analysis of interleukin-18 gene with performance traits in Czech Large White pigs

Acta Universitatis Agriculturae et Silviculturae Mendelianae Brunensis, 2012
This research focused on recently described MspI and VspI SNPs in interleukin-18 gene and their association with selected performance traits (backfat thickness; lean meat content, average daily gain from birth, average daily gain in test, breeding value ...

Associations between the K232A polymorphism in the diacylglycerol-O-transferase 1 (DGAT1) gene and performance in Irish Holstein-Friesian dairy cattle [PDF]

, 2010
peer-reviewedSelection based on genetic polymorphisms requires accurate quantification of the effect or association of the polymorphisms with all traits of economic importance. The objective of this study was to estimate, using progeny performance data

Interactive effects between paylean™ (Ractopamine HCl) and dietary lysine on finishing pig growth performance, carcass characteristics and tissue accretion [PDF]

, 2001
A total of 432 pigs were used to evaluate the effects of Paylean and dietary lysine on finishing pig growth performance, carcass characteristics and tissue accretion. The 12 dietary treatments included Paylean (0, 4.5, and 9.0 g/ton) and 4 levels of

ESTIMATION OF GENETIC PARAMETERS FOR PRODUCTION TRAITS IN PIG BREEDS IN CROATIA [PDF]

Poljoprivreda, 2015
Genetic parameters for backfat thickness and test time were updated and used in genetic evaluation for field tested pigs in Croatia. Data consisted of 9,406 animals with measurements for production traits recorded from 2000 to 2014. The number of animals

The Effect of the Revision of the Carcass Trading Standard of Pigs on the Profitability and Growth Performances on Japanese Commercial Farms

Animal Science Journal, Volume 97, Issue 1, January/December 2026.
ABSTRACT This study investigated the effect of the revision of Japan's Carcass Trading Standard for Pork (CTSP) in January 2023, which increased the optimal carcass weight (CWT) range by 3 kg, on the profitability and growth productivity of commercial pig farms. We analyzed data from 116 Japanese farrow‐to‐finish farms in 2022 and 2023. The study found
