Consequences of a low protein diet on the liver and longissimus dorsi transcriptome of Duroc × Iberian crossbred pigs

Animal, 2021
Low protein diets supplied during the growing period of pigs can diminish their growth rate and increase the intramuscular fat (IMF) content which affects the sensorial and technological characteristics of the products.

SNP discovery and association study for growth, fatness and meat quality traits in Iberian crossbred pigs

Scientific Reports, 2022
Iberian pigs and its crosses are produced to obtain high-quality meat products. The objective of this work was to evaluate a wide panel of DNA markers, selected by biological and functional criteria, for association with traits related to muscle growth ...

Copy Number Variation Regions Differing in Segregation Patterns Span Different Sets of Genes

Animals, 2023
Copy number variations regions (CNVRs) can be classified either as segregating, when found in both parents, and offspring, or non-segregating. A total of 65 segregating and 31 non-segregating CNVRs identified in at least 10 individuals within a dense ...

EFFECT OF THE SPERM MEMBRANE PROTECTOR ON THE FREEZABILITY OF GOAT SEMEN

Tropical and Subtropical Agroecosystems, 2022
Background: Prior to freezing goat semen, it is necessary to perform seminal washing by centrifugation to eliminate Phospholipase A, with the consequent loss of elements involved in maintaining sperm functions.

Identification of genomic regions regulating sex determination in Atlantic salmon using high density SNP data

BMC Genomics, 2019
Background A complete understanding of the genetic basis for sexual determination and differentiation is necessary in order to implement efficient breeding schemes at early stages of development. Atlantic salmon belongs to the family Salmonidae of fishes

Assessing losses of genetic variability in the endangered Mallorquí horse

Czech Journal of Animal Science, 2010
Information contained in the studbook of the endangered Mallorquí horse was analysed to assess the genetic variability of the breed. Also, the effect of selection for coat colour variation was assessed using a set of 15 microsatellites genotyped on 68 ...

A further look of the genetic origin and singularity of the Torbiscal Iberian pig line

Spanish Journal of Agricultural Research, 2019
Although the Torbiscal line of Iberian pigs has been largely studied, some aspects of its history are not well known. In this paper, we used pedigree-based methods on a complete genealogy of 4,077 entries in order to get a comprehensive analysis of its ...

Identification of mitochondrial markers for genetic traceability of European wild boars and Iberian and Duroc pigs

Animal, 2009
Iberian pigs and wild boars are the source of highly priced meat and dry-cured products. Iberian maternal origin is mandatory for labeled Iberian products, making necessary the authentication of their maternal breed origin.

Adipose tissue transcriptional response of lipid metabolism genes in growing Iberian pigs fed oleic acid v. carbohydrate enriched diets

Animal, 2016
Diet influences animal body and tissue composition due to direct deposition and to the nutrients effects on metabolism. The influence of specific nutrients on the molecular regulation of lipogenesis is not well characterized and is known to be influenced
