A sensory study on loin quality from pigs slaughtered at 120 or 160 kg liveweight

Italian Journal of Animal Science, 2010
Effects of different slaughter weights (160 vs. 120 kg) on chemical, physical and sensory characteristics of pig loin were investigated. Physical and chemical traits were similar for the two typologies of weight, whereas lower values of moisture ...

Extractability, Distribution Among Different Particle Size Fractions, and Phytotoxicity of Cu and Zn in Composts Made With the Separated Solid Fraction of Pig Slurry

Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, 2020
The presence of elevated concentrations of heavy metals (Cu and Zn) in pig slurry and, particularly, in the solid fraction obtained after solid-liquid separation is a limiting factor for their use in agricultural soils.

Changes in speciation, mobility and bioavailability of Cd, Cr and As during the transformation process of pig manure by black soldier fly larvae (Hermetia illucens)

Journal of Integrative Agriculture, 2021
The black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) (Hermetia illucens) are a good candidate for poultry and livestock manure treatment. The harvested insect bodies and feces can be used as animal feed and organic fertilizer. However, heavy metals have a negative impact

Estimation of inbreeding and identification of regions under heavy selection based on runs of homozygosity in a Large White pig population

Journal of Animal Science and Biotechnology, 2020
Background Runs of homozygosity (ROHs) are homozygous segments of the genome where the two haplotypes inherited from the parents are identical. The current availability of genotypes for a very large number of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) is ...

Evaluation of pre-slaughter losses of Italian heavy pigs [PDF]

Animal Production Science, 2016
A retrospective observational study evaluated the risk factors for pre-slaughter losses (i.e. animal deaths occurring during transport and lairage) and their economic impact in Italian heavy pigs (~160 kg bodyweight). Of the 3 344 730 pigs transported, 1780 (0.053%) died before slaughter, with most losses occurring during transport (56.6%).

Insights on the effects of antimicrobial and heavy metal usage on the antimicrobial resistance profiles of pigs based on culture-independent studies

Veterinary Research, 2023
Antimicrobial resistance is a global threat to human, animal, and environmental health. In pig production, antimicrobials and heavy metals such as zinc oxide are commonly used for treatment and prevention of disease.

Ractopamine (Paylean) Response in Heavy-Weight Finishing Pigs

The Professional Animal Scientist, 2010
The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of feeding diets with 10 ppm of ractopamine hydrochloride (RAC; Paylean 9G, Elanco Animal Health, Greenfield, IN) to heavy-weight pigs (final BW of 147 kg). Few studies have addressed the effects of RAC on performance and carcass traits at the finishing BW presented in this study.
