Sensory evaluation of meat from entire male pigs raised with different feeding and housing conditions [PDF]

, 2018
Introduction: Boar taint is an off-odour/off-flavour found in meat from entire male pigs due to two main compounds: androstenone and skatole. The incidence of boar taint is of concern when considering the use of entire males for pork meat production ...

Protection Motivation Theory and Farmers' Participation in Futures Markets: Evidence From Germany

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines why German farmers show limited adoption of commodity futures contracts despite substantial price volatility, applying Protection Motivation Theory (PMT) to understand the cognitive processes driving participation decisions in futures markets. Survey data from 303 German farmers collected in 2024 were analyzed using Partial

Myofibrillar fragmentation in entire male, immunocastrated or surgically castrated pigs

IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science, 2019
Abstract In order to better characterise differences in meat quality traits between the alternatives to surgical castration, myofibrillar fragment length was investigated in longissimus dorsi muscle of entire (n=12), immunocastrated (n=12) and surgically castrated (n=12) male pigs. Higher myofibrillar fragment length was observed in meat

Bronchoscopy Robot with Enhanced Flexibility and Stability via Multi‐Segment Variable Stiffness Catheter

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This work presents a magnetic bronchoscopy robot with a novel multi‐segment variable stiffness catheter. This catheter can not only move flexibly in the narrow bronchi but also harden according to the need to provide support. Combined with remote wireless magnetic field drive, it provides a more precise and effective solution for biopsy of deep lung ...

Porcine kidney xenotransplantation: From primate models to clinical reality

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
In the face of a critical shortage of human donor kidneys for end‐stage renal disease patients, porcine kidney xenotransplantation has emerged as a viable solution. This field has navigated major hurdles, including immune rejection, physiological incompatibilities, potential biomechanical differences and the risk of cross‐species infection. To overcome
