• Dietary Polyunsaturated Fat Reduces Skin Fat as Well as Abdominal Fat in Broiler Chickens 

  Ferrini, G.; Baucells, M. D.; Esteve-Garcia, Enric; Barroeta, A. C. (Poultry Science, 2008-03-01) Nutrició Animal

  The aim of this study was to determine the effect of different dietary fatty acid profiles on the main fat depots of broiler chickens: skin including s.c. fat (SK) and abdominal fat pad (AF). One ...

• Empirical Bayes factor analyses of quantitative trait loci for gestation length in Iberian x Meishan F2 sows 

  Casellas, J.; Varona Aguado, Luis; Muñoz, G.; Ramírez, O.; Barragán, C.; Tomás, A.; Martínez-Giner, M.; Ovilo, C.; Sánchez, A.; Noguera, José Luis; Rodríguez, C. (Animal, 2008-02-01) Genètica i Millora Animal

  The aim of this study was to investigate chromosomal regions affecting gestation length in sows. An experimental F2 cross between Iberian and Meishan pig breeds was used for this purpose and we genotyped ...

• New trends in rabbit feeding: influence of nutrition on intestinal health 

  Carabaño, R.; Badiola, Ignacio; Chamorro, S.; García, J.; García-Ruiz, A. I.; García-Rebollar, P.; Gómez-Conde, M. S.; Gutiérrez, I.; Nicodemus, N.; Villamide, M. J.; de Blas, J. C. (Spanish Journal of Agricultural Research, 2008-02-01) Sanitat Animal

• Development and bin mapping of a Rosaceae Conserved Ortholog Set (COS) of markers 

  Cabrera, Antonio; Kozik, Alex; Howad, Werner; Arús, Pere; Iezzoni, Amy F; van der Knaap, Esther (BMC Genomics, 2009-11-29) Genòmica i Biotecnologia

  Background: Detailed comparative genome analyses within the economically important Rosaceae family have not been conducted. This is largely due to the lack of conserved gene-based molecular markers ...

• A bi-dimensional genome scan for prolificacy traits in pigs shows the existence of multiple epistatic QTL 

  Noguera, José Luis; Rodríguez, Carmen; Varona Aguado, Luis; Tomàs, Anna; Muñoz, Gloria; Ramírez, Oscar; Barragán, Carmen; Arqué, Meritxell; Bidanel, Jean P; Amills, Marcel; Ovilo, Cristina; Sánchez, Armand (BMC Genomics, 2009-12-29) Genètica i Millora Animal

  Background: Prolificacy is the most important trait influencing the reproductive efficiency of pig production systems. The low heritability and sex-limited expression of prolificacy have hindered ...
