An attempt to predict conformation and fatness in bulls by means of artificial neural networks using weight, age and breed composition information
(Taylor & Francis Open Access, 2015)
The present study aimed to predict conformation and fatness grades in bulls based on data available at slaughter (carcass weight, age and breed proportions) by means of counter-propagation artificial ...
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 ...
Nutritional Quality of Beef Produced in Chile from Different Production Systems
(Instituto de Investigaciones Agropecuarias, 2012-01)
In recent years, beef industry has improved production processes to ensure quality and certification for overseas meat
markets. However, there is limited scientific information about the nutritional ...
Finishing strategies for steers based on pasture or silage plus grain and time on feed and their effects on beef quality
(Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, 2015-04)
The aims of the present study were to compare the quality of grainfed and pasture-fed beef and to assess the effects of two feeding periods on grain for finishing steers. A group of 75 steers were fed ...
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 ...
Effect of production system before the finishing period on carcass, meat and fat qualities of beef
(Elsevier, 2013-08-01)
Twenty Gascon young bulls that had been reared either in intensive conditions (INT) (n = 10) with early weaning at 3 to 4 months,
or in a traditional extensive (EXT) system (n = 10) with weaning at 7 ...
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 ...
Acetylated pectins in raw and heat processed carrots
(Elsevier, 2017-08-30)
Heat processing results in softening of carrots, changing the pectin structure. The effect of heat processing on pectin was studied, showing that the amount of pectin in water soluble solids (WSS) and ...
SNP variation in the promoter of the PRKAG3 gene and association with meat quality traits in pig
(BMC, 2012-07-25)
Background: The PRKAG3 gene encodes the γ3 subunit of adenosine monophosphate activated protein kinase
(AMPK), a protein that plays a key role in energy metabolism in skeletal muscle. Non-synonymous ...
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 ...
