Estimation of carcass composition and cut composition from computed tomography images of live growing pigs of different genotypes
(Elsevier, 2014-09-12)
The aim of the present work was (1) to study the relationship between cross-sectional computed tomography (CT) images obtained in live growing pigs of different genotypes and dissection measurements and ...
The effect of immunocastration of male and female Duroc pigs on the morphological, mechanical and compositional characteristics of pork belly
(Elsevier, 2023-06-20)
Pork belly is an important and heterogeneous cut, characterized by its fat content. Immunocastration is an alternative to surgical castration that can modify the composition of carcasses and cuts and ...
Challenges and future perspectives for the European grading of pig carcasses – A quality view
(Elsevier, 2023-11-10)
This study sought to evaluate pig carcass grading, describing the existing approaches and definitions, and highlighting the vision for overall quality grading. In particular, the current state of pig ...
Effect of protein-restricted diet during growing period on performance and carcass quality traits of Duroc x Iberian crossbred barrows under different management conditions
(Elsevier, 2023-11-24)
This study investigated the effects of feeding protein-restricted diets during the growing period on performance and carcass quality traits of Duroc (boars) x Iberian (sows) crossbred pigs slaughtered ...
A matter of body weight and sex type: Pig carcass chemical composition and pork quality
(Elsevier, 2022-12-16)
This study compares minced carcass chemical composition and meat quality of castrated (CM), immunocastrated (IM) and entire male (EM), and female (FE) pigs at 70, 100 and 120 kg target body weights (TBW) ...
Predicting the carcass chemical composition and describing its growth in live pigs of different sexes using computed tomographys
(Elsevier, 2015-08-28)
The aims of this study were (1) to evaluate the ability of computed tomography (CT) to predict the chemical composition of live pigs and carcasses, (2) to compare the chemical composition of four different ...
