Dual Functions of Dietary Rubber Seed Oil Supplementation: Enriching N‐3 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids and Enhancing Antioxidant Capacity in Pekin Ducks

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Dietary RSO supplementation improved growth performance, simultaneously enriched n‐3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n‐3 PUFA), and enhanced antioxidant capacity in Pekin ducks, which suggested that RSO has the potential to be a novel n‐3 PUFA source and an antioxidant for Pekin ducks to generate animal functional foods.

Genetic Relationship between Carcass Traits and Carcass Price of Korean Cattle

Asian-Australasian Journal of Animal Sciences, 2010
The objectives of this study were to estimate genetic parameters for the carcass price and carcass traits contributing to carcass grading and to investigate the influence of each carcass trait on the carcass price using multiple regression and path analyses.

Fasting and Refeeding Mediated Phospholipid Remodeling Plays an Important Role in Improving Meat Quality of Aged Laying Hens

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study explored fasting‐induced physiological remodeling effects on meat quality in aged laying hens. Fasting for 15 days (F15) significantly reduced abdominal fat, intermuscular fat width, subcutaneous fat thickness, and liver index versus pre‐fasting (F0) (p < 0.05), which recovered post‐refeeding.

Influence of Image Analysis and Carcass Traits on Beef Carcass Price

Nihon Chikusan Gakkaiho, 2003
北海道内の枝肉市場に上場された黒毛和種去勢牛（1,543頭）および交雑種去勢牛（532頭）の枝肉横断面の画像に対し，脂肪面積比，全体の粒子のあらさ，最大粒子のあらさ，ロース芯の短径・長径比およびロース芯形状の複雑さを画像解析形質として分析に用いた．格付形質としては，枝肉重量，ロース芯面積，バラの厚さ，皮下脂肪厚，BMSナンバー，BCS等級およびBFS等級を用いた．これらの形質が牛枝肉価格にどのような影響があるかを検討した．取り上げた14種類のモデルのうち，格付形質のみおよび画像解析形質を含む2種類の，計3モデルについて詳細に検討した．3種類のモデルの決定係数は，黒毛和種で0.799～0.825，交雑種で0.784～0.792の範囲にあった．価格に最も影響を与えた形質は ...

Heat Stress and Gut Microbiome Dynamics in Poultry: Interplay, Consequences, and Mitigation Strategies

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Heat stress disrupts gut microbial balance in poultry, impairing nutrient absorption and immunity. This review outlines the interplay between thermal stress and microbiome dynamics and discusses integrative mitigation strategies, probiotics, phytogenics, cooling systems, and genetic adaptation to enhance poultry resilience.

Investigating the genetic and phenotypic relationship between biometric traits, body weights and carcass traits measured by ultrasound in Kurdi sheep of North Khorasan [PDF]

پژوهشهای تولیدات دامی, 2023
Extended Abstract Introduction and Objective: Profitability of sheep in terms of meat production largely depends on growth traits and carcass characteristics. Despite the importance of the quality of sheep meat, few researches have been conducted in this

Whole genome scan in chickens for quantitative trait loci affecting carcass traits

Poultry Science, 1999
An experiment was conducted to enable quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping for carcass traits. The population consisted of 10 full-sib families originating from a cross between male and female founders chosen from two different outcross broiler lines. Founder animals, parents, offspring, and grandoffspring are denoted as generation (G) 0, 1, 2, and 3 ...
