Prediction of fatty acid composition in intact and minced fat of European autoc...
Parrini, Silvia; Sirtori, Francesco; Čandek‑Potokar, Marjeta; Charneca, Rui; Crovetti, Alessandro; Kušec, Ivona Djurkin; González Sanchez, ElenaThe fatty acids profile has been playing a decisive role in recent years, thanks to technological, sensory and health demands from producers and consumers. The application of NIRS technique on fat tissues, could lead to more efficient, practical, and economical in the quality control. The study aim was to assess the accuracy of Fourier Transformed Near Infrared Spectroscopy technique to determine fatty acids co...
A meta-analysis of genetic and phenotypic diversity of European local pig breed...
Poklukar, Klavdija; Mestre, Camille; Škrlep, Martin; Čandek‑Potokar, Marjeta; Ovilo, Cristina; Fontanesi, Luca; Riquet, Julliete; Bovo, SamueleBackground Intense selection of modern pig breeds has resulted in genetic improvement of production traits while the performance of local pig breeds has remained lower. As local pig breeds have been bred in extensive systems, they have adapted to specific environmental conditions, resulting in a rich genotypic and phenotypic diversity. This study is based on European local pig breeds that have been genetically ...
Admixture and breed traceability in European indigenous pig breeds and wild boa...
Dadousis, Christos; Muñoz, Maria; Óvilo, Cristina; Fabbri, Maria Chiara; Araújo, José Pedro; Bovo, Samuele; Potokar, Marjeta Čandek; Charneca, RuiPreserving diversity of indigenous pig (Sus scrofa) breeds is a key factor to (i) sustain the pork chain (both at local and global scales) including the production of high-quality branded products, (ii) enrich the animal biobanking and (iii) progress conservation policies. Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) chips offer the opportunity for whole-genome comparisons among individuals and breeds. Animals from twe...

Kleiber ratios and growth curves of African Black and Red Neck ostrich breeds a...
de Rezende, Marcos Paulo Gonçalves; Souza Carneiro, Paulo Luiz; Moretti, Riccardo; Mendes Araujo, Johnny Iglesias; Cardoso, Israel Luz [UNESP]Made available in DSpace on 2022-04-28T19:46:00Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2021-01-01; The selection of animals with lower production costs can be achieved by using feed efficiency and growth curve information. Kleiber ratio (KR) is an alternative option for discriminating against the animals that have the greatest weight gain about their final weight. Alternative feed efficiency and grow...
Describing variability in pig genes involved in coronavirus infections for a On...
Bovo, Samuele; Schiavo, Giuseppina; Ribani, Anisa; Utzeri, Valerio J.; Taurisano, Valeria; Ballan, Mohamad; Muñoz, Maria; Alves, EstefaniaCoronaviruses silently circulate in human and animal populations, causing mild to severe diseases. Therefore, livestock are important components of a “One Health” perspective aimed to control these viral infections. However, at present there is no example that considers pig genetic resources in this context. In this study, we investigated the variability of four genes (ACE2, ANPEP and DPP4 encoding for host rec...

Rezende, Marcos Paulo Gonçalves de; Carneiro, Paulo Luiz Souza; Moretti, Riccardo; Araujo, Johnny Iglesias Mendes; Cardoso, Israel LuzThe selection of animals with lower production costs can be achieved by using feed efficiency and growth curve information. Kleiber ratio (KR) is an alternative option for discriminating against the animals that have the greatest weight gain about their final weight. Alternative feed efficiency and growth curves for ostriches of the African Black (AB) and Red Neck (RN) breeds and their crossbreeds (CB) were inv...
Potential use of near-infrared spectroscopy to predict fatty acid profile of me...
Ortiz, Alberto; Parrini, Silvia; Tejerina, David; Araújo, José Pedro; Candek-Potokar, Marjeta; Crovetti, Alessandro; Garcia-Casco, Juan MariaAutochthonous pig breeds provide products of differentiated quality, among which quality control is difficult to perform and insufficient for current market requirements. The present research evaluates the predictive ability of near‐infrared (NIR) spectroscopy, combined with chemometric methods as a rapid and affordable tool to assure traceability and quality control. Thus, NIR technology was assessed for intac...
Genetic improvement and population structure of the Nelore breed in Northern Br...
Malhado, Ana Claudia Mendes; Malhado, Carlos Henrique Mendes; Carneiro, Paulo Luiz Souza; Martins Filho, Raimundo; Bozzi, Riccardo; Ladle, Richard JamesO objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a estrutura populacional e o progresso genético e fenotípico da raça Nelore na Região Norte do Brasil. Informações sobre o pedigree foram analisadas em animais nascidos entre 1942 e 2006. A estrutura populacional foi estimada utilizando-se o programa Endog. Dos 140.628 animais avaliados, 67,7% dos pais, 14,52% dos avós e 3,18% dos bisavós eram conhecidos. O coeficiente de p...
History of registered Gyr breed in Brazilian Northeast: population structure an...
Malhado, Ana Claudia Mendes; Malhado, Carlos Henrique Mendes; Carneiro, Paulo Luiz Souza; Martins, Jorge André Matias; Martins Filho, RaimundoCom o intuito de fornecer subsídios para programas de conservação, seleção e expansão da raça Gir no Nordeste do Brasil, objetivou-se avaliar o histórico do rebanho Gir registrado no nordeste brasileiro, com base na sua estrutura populacional e no progresso genético e fenotípico de características de desenvolvimento ponderal. Foram utilizadas informações de pedigree de animais nascidos no período de 1964 a 2006...
