Use of pure glycerol in fattening heavy pigs

Meat Science, 2009
Eighty Italian Duroc×Italian Large White pigs (BW 42.6±3.37kg) were used to determine the effects of pure glycerol on growth performance and meat quality of heavy pigs. Pigs were divided into five groups receiving 0% (control), 5% or 10% during the growing and finishing phases (42.6-160kg BW) (G+F5,G+F10) or 5% or 10% during the finishing period (100 ...

Pulmonary interstitial edema in the pig after heavy exercise

Journal of Applied Physiology, 1993
During exercise (especially in hypoxia), the alveolar-arterial O2 tension difference increases. This impairment of pulmonary gas exchange is caused partly by diffusion disequilibrium, but it has also been shown that an exercise-induced increase in ventilation-perfusion (VA/Q) inequality develops.

Nutrients and heavy metals distribution in thermally treated pig manure

Waste Management & Research: The Journal for a Sustainable Circular Economy, 2008
Ash from pig manure treated by combustion and thermal gasification was characterized and compared in terms of nutrient, i.e., potassium (K), phosphorus (P) and heavy metal, i.e., cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), copper (Cu), nickel (Ni) and zinc (Zn) contents. Total nutrient and metal concentrations were measured using energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence

Welfare challenges for Italian heavy pigs

2016
Italian heavy pigs are traditionally raised until they reach higher age at slaughter and body weights (at least 9 months and 160 kg, respectively) than in the majority of European countries. Meat derived from these pigs is intended for the production of high added-value pork products (e.g., Protected Designation of Origin dry-cured hams).

Sweet potato chips in heavy pig production

Livestock Production Science, 1993
Abstract The use of sweet potato chips in heavy pig production was evaluated as regards performance, carcass characteristics and meat quality, using 75 Large White castrated males, divided into 3 groups of 25 subjects each. From an initial average live weight of 42.3 kg to 156.4 kg the groups were fed diets differing in content of maize meal (40%, 20%

Principal components of profitability in heavy pig carcasses

The Journal of Agricultural Science, 1982
SUMMARYData from between 742 and 894 carcasses of hogs and of gilts of a British Landrace line of pigs selected for lean percentage were subjected to a heritability and genetic correlation analysis and to a multivariate regression analysis of phenotypic correlations.Although overall fatness was the most important component of carcass profitability ...

Candidate gene marker associations with fatty acid profiles in heavy pigs

Meat Science, 2013
Heavy pigs are used in Italy to produce fresh meat, dry-cured ham, salami and lard. Fatty acid profile determines both the dietary and organoleptic qualities of these products. The objective was to study the polymorphisms of two genes that code for enzymes of the fatty acid metabolism, namely, Stearoyl-CoA desaturase (SCD) and Fatty acid desaturase 2 ...

In Vitro Penetration of Pig Skin by Heavy Metals in Soil

Soil and Sediment Contamination: An International Journal, 2005
The potential health risk from exposure to heavy metal contaminated soil is often based on the quantity of metal that can be removed from soil by vigorous extraction procedures. This approach can overestimate risk since it ignores complex interactions between metals and soil that can result in a reduction in the amount of metal that desorbs from soil ...
