Effect of sex and RYR1 gene mutation on the muscle proteomic profile and main physiological biomarkers in pigs at slaughter
(Elsevier, 2018-03-27)
Gender and RYR1 gene mutation might have an effect on the muscle metabolic characteristics and on the animal's stress at slaughter, which could influence the process of muscle-to-meat conversion. ...
Role of AMPK signalling pathway during compensatory growth in pigs
(BioMed Central, 2018-09-17)
Background: The molecular basis of compensatory growth in monogastric animals has not yet been fully explored.
Herewith, in this study we aim to determine changes in the pig skeletal muscle transcriptome ...
Pig cognitive bias affects the conversion of muscle into meat by antioxidant and autophagy mechanisms
(Elsevier, 2017-04-18)
Slaughter is a crucial step in the meat production chain that could induce psychological stress on each animal, resulting in a physiological response that can differ among individuals. The aim of this ...
Nutrient supply affects the mRNA expression profile of the porcine skeletal muscle
(BMC, 2017-08-10)
Background: The genetic basis of muscle fat deposition in pigs is not well known. So far, we have only identified a limited number of genes involved in the absorption, transport, storage and catabolism ...
Addition of arginine and leucine to low or normal protein diets: performance, carcass characteristics and intramuscular fat of finishing pigs
(Instituto Nacional de Investigación y Tecnología Agraria y Alimentaria (INIA), 2017-01-20)
The effect of dietary crude protein (CP) reduction, supplementation with arginine or leucine on intramuscular fat (IMF) content was evaluated in (Landrace × Duroc) × Pietrain pigs. One-hundred and eight ...
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 ...
Effects of breed‐production system on collagen, textural, and sensory traits of 10 European beef cattle breeds
(Wiley, 2018-06-23)
In the current study the collagen, texture, and sensory characteristics of meat from 712 yearling males of 10 local Spanish and French beef breeds raised in their typical production systems were described. ...
Revealing additional preference heterogeneity with an extended random parameter logit model: the case of extra virgin olive oil
(Instituto Nacional de Investigación y Tecnología Agraria y Alimentaria, 2014-07-09)
Methods that account for preference heterogeneity have received a significant amount of attention in recent literature.Most of them have focused on preference heterogeneity around the mean of the random ...
