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 ...

Evaluating environmental impacts of contrasting pig farming systems with life cycle assessment
(Elsevier, 2014-08-29)
Environmental impacts of 15 European pig farming systems were evaluated in the European Union Q-PorkChains project using life cycle assessment. One conventional and two non-conventional systems were ...
Evaluation of the sustainability of contrasted pig farming systems: development of a market conformity tool for pork products based on technological quality traits
(Elsevier, 2014-09-08)
A market conformity tool, based on technological meat quality parameters, was developed within the Q-PorkChains project, to be included in a global sustainability evaluation of pig farming systems. The ...
Evaluation of the sustainability of contrasted pig farming systems: the procedure, the evaluated systems and the evaluation tools
(Elsevier, 2014-08-28)
Although a few studies consider the sustainability of animal farming systems along the three classical main pillars (economy, environment and society), most studies on pig farming systems address only ...
Evaluation of the sustainability of contrasted pig farming systems: economy
(Elsevier, 2014-09-15)
The aim of this paper is to present an efficient tool for evaluating the economy part of the sustainability of pig farming systems. The selected tool IDEA was tested on a sample of farms from 15 contrasted ...
