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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Epigenetic regulation of the ELOVL6 gene is associated with a major QTL effect on fatty acid composition in pigs
(BMC, 2015-03-25)
Background: In previous studies on an Iberian x Landrace cross, we have provided evidence that supported the porcine ELOVL6 gene as the major causative gene of the QTL on pig chromosome 8 for palmitic ...
Performance, behaviour and meat quality of beef heifers fed concentrate and straw offered as total mixed ration or free-choice
(Instituto Nacional de Investigación y Tecnología Agraria y Alimentaria, 2015-12-02)
Eighteen Simmental heifers were fed concentrate and barley straw offered as a total mixed ration (TMR) or separately as a free choice (FCH) to compare performance, behaviour, and meat quality. The heifers ...
