Coordinated Regulation of Chromatophore Differentiation and Melanogenesis during the Ontogeny of Skin Pigmentation of Solea senegalensis (Kaup, 1858)
(Public Library of Science, 2013-05-09)
Abnormal pigmentation of Senegalese sole has been described as one problem facing the full exploitation of its commercial production. To improve our understanding of flatfish pigmentation of this ...
A global analysis of CNVs in swine using whole genome sequence data and association analysis with fatty acid composition and growth traits
(Public Library of Science, 2017-05-04)
Copy number variations (CNVs) are important genetic variants complementary to SNPs, and can be considered as biomarkers for some economically important traits in domestic animals. In the present study, ...
Symposium review: Decomposing efficiency of milk production and maximizing profit
(American Dairy Science Association, 2019-12-16)
The dairy industry has focused on maximizing milk yield, as it is believed that this maximizes profit mainly through dilution of maintenance costs. Efficiency of milk production has received, until ...
A Rapid Transcriptome Response Is Associated with Desiccation Resistance in Aerially-Exposed Killifish Embryos
(Public Library of Science, 2013-05-31)
Delayed hatching is a form of dormancy evolved in some amphibian and fish embryos to cope with environmental conditions transiently hostile to the survival of hatchlings or larvae. While diapause and ...
SNP co-association and network analyses identify E2F3, KDM5A and BACH2 as key regulators of the bovine milk fatty acid profile
(Nature Research, 2017-12-11)
The fatty acid (FA) profle has a considerable impact on the nutritional and technological quality of milk
and dairy products. The molecular mechanism underlying the regulation of fat metabolism in ...
Advantages of using economic weights in animal production
(Universidad de Caldas, 2018-12-26)
Introduction: The economic evaluation of the
production systems can be performed using the gain function technique. Objective:To
carry out a review of the literature on the use of the profit function ...
Shelf life of ground beef enriched with omega-3 and/or conjugated linoleic acid and use of grape seed extract to inhibit lipid oxidation
(Wiley Open Access, 2015-07-29)
The shelf life and oxidative stability of refrigerated raw ground beef enriched with omega-3 and/or conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) were studied. Grape seed extract (GSE) was used to inhibit lipid oxidation ...
Expression-based GWAS identifies variants, gene interactions and key regulators affecting intramuscular fatty acid content and composition in porcine meat
(Nature Research, 2016-08-18)
The aim of this work is to better understand the genetic mechanisms determining two complex traits
affecting porcine meat quality: intramuscular fat (IMF) content and its fatty acid (FA) composition. ...
Multi‑breed and multi‑trait co‑association analysis of meat tenderness and other meat quality traits in three French beef cattle breeds
(BMC, 2016-04-23)
Background: Studies to identify markers associated with beef tenderness have focused on Warner–Bratzler shear force (WBSF) but the interplay between the genes associated with WBSF has not been explored. ...
Use of high concentrations of carbon dioxide for stunning rabbits reared for meat production
(Universidad Politécnica de Valencia, 2016-03-22)
An investigation was performed to determine whether high concentrations of carbon dioxide (CO2) at 70-98% in atmospheric air are a suitable alternative for stunning rabbits compared to conventional
approaches ...
