This study aimed to assess the effect of betaine supplementation on proteomic profile longissimus thoracis muscle in finishing pigs. Thirty-six crossbred female pigs (initial body weight = 88.96 ± 3.48 kg) were allocated a completely randomized experimental design with two dietary treatments, nine replications per treatment and replication. The diets consisted control diet (CON) CON supplemented 2.5 g/kg (BET). At end trial, one pig unit was slaughtered, (LT) samples analyzed via mass...
We aimed to evaluate the performance, carcass and pork quality traits, as well mRNA expression of genes related intramuscular fat deposition in female pigs from different genetic lines. A total eighteen (Large White × Landrace Duroc Pietrain) Landrace) (Hybrid) averaging 88.96 ± 3.44 kg body weight twelve (Duroc) 85.63 1.55 were assigned a completely randomized design experimental trial that lasted 45 days. Pigs both lines received same diet, which was initially adjusted for their...
ABSTRACT: Increasing fat deposition and feed conversion ratio over the days in finishing phase directly influence pork quality productive profitability. Nonetheless, slaughter of heavier pigs can result benefits for slaughterhouse due to dilution production processing costs, as well economic pig producer resulting from costs. Therefore, dietary supplementation chromium high lean-genotypes is a strategy increase lean tissue accretion minimize deposition, reflecting positively on growth...
We evaluated the effects of L-arginine supplementation during last third gestation on molecular mechanisms related to skeletal muscle development piglets and litter traits at birth. Twenty-three nulliparous sows averaging 205.37 ± 11.50 kg body weight were randomly assigned following experimental treatments: control (CON), where pregnant fed diets meet their nutritional requirements; arginine (ARG), CON + 1.0% L-arginine. Skeletal from born ARG group had greater mRNA expression MYOD (p =...
The objective of the present study was to compare effects corn processing on performance and intestinal parameters weanling piglets. To accomplish our goal, 42 piglets (21 days-old, 7.18±1.0 kg body weight) were randomly allocated (seven pens/treatment; three pigs/pen) one two treatments: ground – through a hammer mill with 1.0-mm screen after being by 3.0-mm screen, extruded wet [...]
