Outdoor Finishing of Intact Male Portuguese Alentejano Pigs on a Sustainable High-Fiber Diet: Impacts on Blood, Growth, Carcass, Meat Quality and Boar Taint Compounds [PDF]

, 2023
This trial evaluated the effect of sex on the blood, growth, carcass, meat quality, and boar taint compounds in male Alentejano (AL) pigs (n = 30). From ~40 to 130 kg LW, castrated (C) and intact pigs (I and IExp groups) were fed commercial diets ad ...

Gender-related differences in the formation of skatole metabolites by specific CYP450 in porcine hepatic S9 fractions

Animal, 2015
Higher accumulation of skatole in the fat of male pigs compared with female pigs might be due to gender-related differences in the rate of skatole degradation.

Modulation of porcine cytochrome P450 enzyme activities by surgical castration and immunocastration

Animal, 2009
The present study aimed to evaluate some cytochrome P450 metabolic enzyme activities in hepatic microsomes prepared from entire male pigs (uncastrated pigs), surgically castrated pigs and pigs immunized against gonadotropin-releasing hormone ...

Immunity in barren and enriched housed pigs differing in baseline cortisol concentration [PDF]

, 2000
It was shown recently that barren housed pigs (small pens, no substrate) have a blunted circadian rhythm of salivary cortisol as compared to enriched housed pigs (large pens with daily fresh bedding).

Endocrine Profiles and Blood Chemistry Patterns of Cloned Miniature Pigs in the Post-Puberty Period

Journal of Animal Reproduction and Biotechnology, 2014
Although the majority of surviving pigs cloned by somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) appear to be physiologically normal, there is a general lack of detailed hemato-physiologic studies for the period of early adulthood to substantiate this claim.

Personalities in female domesticated pigs: behavioural and physiological indications [PDF]

, 2000
The inconclusive evidence so far on the existence of distinct personality types in domesticated pigs, led us to perform the present experiment. A total of 128 gilts from 31 sows were systematically studied from birth to slaughter in two identical trials.

Birth weight and postnatal dietary protein level affect performance, muscle metabolism and meat quality in pigs

Animal, 2011
Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), resulting in low birth body weight (LBW) occurs naturally in pigs. However, IUGR may also cause persistent changes in physiology and metabolism resulting in poorer performance, organogenesis and meat quality.

Chlorpyrifos induces male infertility in pigs through ROS and PI3K-AKT pathway

iScience, 2023
Summary: Chlorpyrifos (CPF) has been shown to have male reproductive toxicity in mice and rat. However, the association of CPF and male reproduction in pigs remains unknown.
