Relationship between VRTN gene polymorphism and growth, slaughter and meat quality traits in three polish pig breeds

The following cut yields were also evaluated after 24 h of cooling at 4 °C: cold right half carcass weight (CRHCW), total ham weight (THW), skinless and fatless ham weight (HW),

The G316A polymor- phism was found to be associated with the number of right teats, heart weight, lung weight, carcass length measured by the Brazilian carcass classification

gene using polymerase chain reaction-single strand confor- mation polymorphism (PCR-SSCP) and DNA sequencing, and to further investigate the relationship between these SNPs and

The direct selection for performance and carcass traits in the male broiler line analyzed did not affect the meat quality attributes in this study, since the genetic

ABSTRACT - The objective of the present study was to estimate the allelic and genotypic frequencies of the polymorphisms E2FB (AY138588.1: c.305C> T), located in the leptin

ABSTRACT - The objective of this study was to evaluate live weight and carcass traits, from birth to slaughter, and meat quality of Nellore (NEL), Curraleiro Pé-Duro (CPD),

Two markers of this gene have been associated with variation in milk and meat fat content: lysine to alanine substitution at position 232 (K232A) and a variable number of

The effects of gender and slaughter weight on the growth performance, carcass traits, and meat quality characteristics of heavy pigs.. The effects of sex and salughter
