Short communication. Sensory evaluation of commercial beef produced in Uruguay and three European countries
(Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas, 2012-06-08)
The main goal of this study was to characterize and compare the organoleptic quality of beef from Uruguay and
from three European countries. In Uruguay, 40 Hereford steers were raised exclusively under ...
Gender-related differences in the formation of skatole metabolites by specific CYP450 in porcine hepatic S9 fractions
(Elsevier, 2014-12-03)
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. In the present study, skatole metabolites ...
Effect of high hydrostatic pressure on the oxidation of washed muscle with added chicken hemoglobin
(Elsevier, 2019-04-19)
The role of chicken hemoglobin in lipid oxidation of washed chicken muscle exposed to high hydrostatic pressure (0, 200, 400 and 600 MPa) was examined. The observed decrease in redness was higher with ...
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 ...
Evaluation of potential nirs to predict pastures nutritive value
(Springer, 2013-05-22)
This paper describes the capability of near infra-reflectance (NIRS) to predict the nutritional quality of pastures
from southern Chile (39°-40°S). A Fourier transformed near-infrared (FT-NIR) method ...
Effects of whole linseed and rumen-protected conjugated linoleic acid enriched diets on beef quality
(Elsevier, 2015-11-23)
Instrumental assessments and sensory tests were performed to evaluate the effects of diet and postmortem ageing time (1, 7 and 21 days) on beef quality. A total of 48 Friesian calves were randomly ...
Potential sensitivity of pork production situations aiming at high-quality products to the use of entire male pigs as an alternative to surgical castrates
(Cambridge University Press, 2017-11-16)
The perspective of a possible ban on surgical castration of male pigs in the EU is a real challenge for pork production systems
aiming at (very) high-quality products. Information was collected from a ...
Sustainable sheep production and consumer preference trends: Compatibilities, contradictions, and unresolved dilemmas
(Elsevier, 2013-05-20)
There are increasing concerns of society towards the consumption of animal products which have been produced
and transformed in a sustainable manner. This trend influences consumer purchasing decision ...
Growth of total fat and lean and of primal cuts is affected by the sex type
(Elsevier, 2017-02-10)
Knowledge of tissue and cuts growth depending on the sex could be used to improve performance and efficiency. Computed tomography (CT) is a non-invasive technology that enables the study of the body ...
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 ...
