Early Dietary Amino acid Restrictions and Flaxseed Oil Supplementation on the Leanness of Pigs and Quality of Pork: Growth Performance, Serum Metabolites, and Carcass Characteristics
(2014-05-02)
By taking advantage of compensatory growth, carcass fat can be reduced to satisfy consumer demands and intramuscular fat (IMF) can be increased to enhance organoleptic characteristics pork simultaneously. The beneficial ...
The Effect of Ad Libitum Concentrate Feeding on Crib-Biting Behavior in the Horse
(2012-10-31)
Previous research indicates cribbing behavior in horses increases when horses were fed concentrate meals. This study used 10 mature cribbing geldings to investigate effects of ad libitum concentrate feeding on cribbing ...
Effect of bermudagrass cultivar on the comprehensive profile of digestion and metabolism in beef cattle
(2024-12-12)
Since the release of ‘Coastal’ bermudagrass in 1943, much effort has been made toward the genetic advancement to improve yield and nutritive value. There is a gap in research comparing the in vivo digestibility among ...
Effect of Diet Complexity and Dietary Fish Peptide Supplementation on Weanling Pigs
(2020-07-08)
Young pigs are subjected to various stressors at weaning, and providing a highly palatable and digestible diet is, obviously, important in preventing or alleviating growth check soon after weaning and also optimizing growth ...
Effect of Diet Complexity, Multi-enzyme Complexes, Essential Oils, and Benzoic Acid on Weanling Pigs
(2016-05-05)
The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of supplementing a simple corn-soybean meal (SBM) diet with multi-enzyme complexes, essential oils, and benzoic acid on growth performance, serum metabolite profile, ...
Effect of Dietary Fish Peptide and Enzyme Supplementation on Weanling Pigs
(2021-04-21)
A corn-soy diet is the gold standard for feeding pigs, however, such a diet may not be appropriate for weanling pigs. Weanling pigs are subjected to various stressors at weaning, and their digestive system is immature or ...
The Effect of Early Dietary Amino Acid Restrictions on Serum Metabolites in Pigs Selected for Lean Growth Efficiency
(2005-12-15)
Thirty-two select line and 32 control line pigs (average, 20 kg) were used in each of the two experiments to assess the effect of dietary amino acid restrictions during the grower phase on serum metabolites. In Exp. 1, 16 ...
The Effect of Pharmacological and Dietary Modulators of Lipid Metabolism on Gene Expresion in a Porcine Model
(2006-12-15)
Modifying the size and/or carcass distribution of adipose tissue in meat producing animals by nutritional and pharmacological means has long been of interest to animal scientists. In pigs, as in other meat animals, a more ...
Effect of Processing Methods on Quality and Sensory Attributes of Ground Beef Patties
(2025-12-03)
Ground beef accounts for a substantial share of retail beef sales and is widely recognized as the most popular beef product consumed in the United States. To meet consumer demands, the meat industry must prioritize quality ...
Effect of Storage on the Physicochemical and Textural Quality of Pork Chops and Chicken Breast
(2025-12-02)
Meat is an essential source of amino acids and micronutrients in the human diet, and its consumption is increasing worldwide. Chicken and pork meat currently dominate the global market due to their affordability and ...
Effect of the Degree and Duration of Early Dietary Amino Acid Restrictions on Growth Performance, Carcass Traits, and Serum Metabolites of Pigs, and Physical and Sensory Characteristics of Pork
(2008-12-15)
The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of the degree and duration of early dietary amino acid restrictions on growth performance, serum metabolites, internal organ weights, and carcass traits of pigs, ...
