Effect of castration age on carcass traits and meat quality of Simmental bulls
Italian Journal of Animal Science, 2010 Italian beef management is usually based on entire males, since they show better growth rate and higher lean yield carcasses. Despite consumer’s preferences require lean meat, producers have been induced to consider the positive effect of ...

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Pediatric sarcomas are a heterogeneous group of tumors that contribute disproportionately to cancer mortality in children. Although congenital anomalies are among the strongest known risk factors for childhood cancer, the risk of specific sarcoma subtypes among affected individuals has not yet been thoroughly evaluated. Procedure We

Animal, 2007 Boar taint is a major meat-quality defect in pigs and is due to excessive accumulation of skatole and androstenone in adipose tissue. The present work investigated the relationship between carcass weight, levels of skatole and androstenone in adipose ...

Genetic approaches for rearing entire males
, 2018 Boar taint in the pork meat from entire male pigs results from the presence of two molecules: androstenone and skatole. The genetic determinism of androstenone and skatole has been studied for a few decades. It is well known that the heritability values are moderate to high and the genetic correlation between both levels is moderately positive ...

Dietary Protein Intake and Peritoneal Protein Losses in Peritoneal Dialysis Patients
Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Introduction Peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients lose protein in their waste dialysate, potentially increasing their risk for malnutrition. We wished to determine whether there was any association between losses and dietary protein intake (DPI). Methods DPI was assessed from 24‐h dietary recall using Nutrics software.

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.

Biochemical, nutritional and genetic effects on boar taint in entire male pigs
Animal, 2009 Pork odour is to a great extent affected by the presence of malodorous compounds, mainly androstenone and skatole. The present review outlines the current state of knowledge about factors involved in the regulation of androstenone and skatole in entire male pigs.
