Traditional mixed livestock cereal- and pasture-based sheep farming systems in Europe are threatened by intensification specialisation processes. However, the process does not always yield improved economic results or efficiency. This study involved a group of farmers that raised an autochthonous breed (Ojinegra de Teruel) unfavourable area North-East Spain. aimed to typify farms elucidate existing links between performance certain sustainability indicators (i.e. productivity,...
The accuracy of ultrasound measurements to assess goat carcass composition and the partition body fat depots was evaluated. An machine with a 5-MHz probe image analysis used in vivo thickness muscle depth 56 Spanish Celtiberica adult goats, lumbar breast regions. goats were slaughtered weight recorded. Measurements corresponding taken on carcasses. left sides carcasses completely dissected into their components. best relationships (r = 0.94, P < 0.01) between obtained when at sternum,...
Abstract Background Conjugated linoleic acids (CLAs) are receiving increasing attention because of their beneficial effects on human health, with milk and meat products derived from ruminants as important sources CLA in the diet. SCD gene is responsible for some variation concentration adipose tissues, PPARγ , PPARα SREBP1 genes regulator gene. The aim this work was to evaluate effect feeding system fatty acid composition, content relative expression Δ 9 -desaturase ( ), Peroxisome...
A total of 120 pigs [Duroc × (Landrace Large White); initial average BW: 100.3 ± 2.5 kg] were used to investigate the effects sex (barrows and gilts) dietary Lys restriction (7.0, 6.5, 6.0 g·kg(-1)) on growth performance carcass, meat, fat characteristics. Pigs intended for high-quality dry-cured ham from Spain (called Teruel ham), a minimum thickness at gluteus medius muscle (GM) is required (16 mm) carcasses be acceptable. Animals slaughtered when they reached 129.0 3.6 kg BW. There 6...
