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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Update of the list of QPS-recommended biological agents intentionally added to food or feed as notified to EFSA 9: suitability of taxonomic units notified to EFSA until September 2018
(Wiley, 2019-01-24)
The qualified presumption of safety (QPS) procedure was developed to provide a harmonised generic pre‐evaluation to support safety risk assessments of biological agents performed by EFSA's Scientific ...

(Instituto Nacional de Investigación y Tecnología Agraria y Alimentaria, 2016-08-31)
Image techniques are increasingly being applied to livestock animals. This paper overviews recent advances in image processing analysis for live pigs, including ultrasound, visual image analysis by ...
Hazard analysis approaches for certain small retail establishments and food donations: second scientific opinion
(Wiley, 2018-11-07)
In 2017, EFSA published a ‘simplified’ food safety management system (FSMS) for certain small retail establishments (butcher, grocer, baker, fish and ice cream shop) based on the application of prerequisite ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
