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 ...
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 ...
