The effect of a high monounsaturated fat diet on body weight, backfat and loin muscle growth in high and medium-lean pig genotypes
(Instituto Nacional de Investigación y Tecnología Agraria y Alimentaria, 2012-01-23)
The objective of this study was to evaluate whether the use of a diet rich in oleic acid could have an effect on daily
weight gain, backfat and loin muscle (Longissimus thoracis) depth. One hundred and ...
Effect of Saccharomyces cerevisiae var. Boulardii and b-galactomannan oligosaccharide on porcine intestinal epithelial and dendritic cells challenged in vitro with Escherichia coli F4 (K88)
(BMC, 2012-01-25)
Probiotic and prebiotics, often called “immune-enhancing” feed additives, are believed to deal with pathogens,
preventing the need of an immune response and reducing tissue damage. In this study, we ...
Segregation of Regulatory Polymorphisms with Effects on the Gluteus Medius Transcriptome in a Purebred Pig Population
(Public Library of Science, 2012-04-24)
Background: The main goal of the present study was to analyse the genetic architecture of mRNA expression in muscle, a
tissue with an outmost economic importance for pig breeders. Previous studies have ...
Genome-wide linkage analysis of QTL for growth and body composition employing the PorcineSNP60 BeadChip
(BMC, 2012-05-20)
Background: The traditional strategy to map QTL is to use linkage analysis employing a limited number of markers.
These analyses report wide QTL confidence intervals, making very difficult to identify ...
Assessment of unconsciousness in pigs during exposure to nitrogen and carbon dioxide mixtures
(Elsevier, 2012-10-26)
The aim of this study was to assess unconsciousness in pigs during and after the exposure to gas mixtures of 70% nitrogen (N2)
and 30% carbon dioxide (CO2) (70N30C), 80% N2 and 20% CO2 (80N20C) and 85% ...
Trans-Generational Effect of Maternal Lactation during Pregnancy: A Holstein Cow Model
(Public Library of Science, 2012-12-20)
Epigenetic regulation in mammals begins in the first stages of embryogenesis. This prenatal programming determines, in
part, phenotype expression in adult life. Some species, particularly dairy cattle, ...
