Effects of halothane gene and pre-slaughter treatment on meat quality and welfare from two pig crosses

Meat Science, 2002
Pigs from crosses of a Piétrain (Pi) and a Large White×Piétrain (LwPi) heterozygous (Nn) boar lines with Landrace×Large White homozygous negative (NN) sows, were used to study the effect of halothane gene and pre-slaughter treatment on animal welfare and meat quality.

Halothane gene and swine performance

Journal of Animal Science, 1992
One hundred thirty-one pigs representing seven different breed groups (Minnesota No. 1 [M], Pietrain [P], Yorkshire [Y], and crosses PY, P[PY], P[NP], and P[YP]P) and three halothane gene genotypes (NN, Nn, and nn) were tested for breed, sex, and halothane gene (HAL) effects on growth and carcass performance.

Transport of pigs different with respect to the halothane gene: stress assessment

Journal of Animal Science, 1994
Two transport experiments were carried out with 18 pigs each. These pigs originated from three genetic lines (homozygous halothane-positive and -negative and heterozygotes). Half the pigs were unfed for 12 h before transport. All pigs were transported twice for 2 h.

Halothane Resistance in Drosophila melanogaster

Anesthesia & Analgesia, 1996
Studying genetically altered animals that are resistant to inhaled anesthetics may ultimately lead to an understanding of anesthetics' mechanism(s) of action. We studied the genetics of halothane resistance in a strain of Drosophila melanogaster that showed substantially increased resistance to halothane anesthesia.

Meta-analysis of the halothane gene effect on parameters of pig meat quality

Proceedings of the British Society of Animal Science, 2009
Technological meat quality has a significant economic impact and many publications have shown that pig meat quality is strongly influenced by the effect of genetic type (especially Hal and RN genes) and by rearing and slaughter conditions (Sellier and Monin, 1994).

The Halothane Gene, Leanness and Stress Susceptibility in Pigs

2001
Susceptibility to halothane-induced malignant hyperthermia is a feature of the porcine stress syndrome and is inherited as a monogenic recessive trait determined by the halothane locus (HAL). The stress susceptible HAL n allele is associated with reduced body fat in pigs.

Frequency of the halothane gene in british landrace and large white pigs

Animal Science, 1988
ABSTRACTThe gene frequency of the halothane gene was estimated in nine British Landrace and Large White nucleus herds. Two hundred and sixty British Landrace and 186 Large White pigs purchased from these herd, to be used as foundation stock for a joint experiment on lean growth at the Physiology and Genetics Research Station, Edinburgh at Wye College ...

Influence of transport stress on serum cortisol and thyroid hormones in pigs with Halothane gene

Animal Science Journal, 2004
ABSTRACTThe influence of transport stress on rectal temperature, respiratory rate and serum concentrations of cortisol, thyroxine and triiodothyronine (T3) in normal pigs (NN) and in heterozygous (Nn) pigs with Halothane gene (n), a major gene that causes the pale, soft, exudative meat (PSE), were examined in a hot environment (32–34°C).
