Alentejano and Bísaro pigs and their crosses: genotype effect on loin traits
Martins, J.M.; Albuquerque, A.; Fialho, R.; Neves, J.; Freitas, A.; Tirapicos-Nunes, J.; Charneca, R.Alentejano (AL) and Bísaro (BI), the two main Portuguese local pig breeds, cohabited in Ribatejo region for some time, but their crosses disappeared in the 1950’s. Although appreciated, no scientific data is available regarding the Ribatejano (RI) pig (ALxBI or BIxAL) animals or their meat. In order to assess the meat quality of RI pigs, castrated male pigs from AL, BI, ALxBI and BIxAL genotypes were studied wi...

Growth, blood, carcass and meat quality traits from local pig breeds and their ...
Martins, J.M.; Fialho, R.; Albuquerque, A.; Neves, J.; Freitas, A.; Nunes, J.T.; Charneca, R.Contrary to intensive pig production, local pig breeds and their production systems are able to respond to the high criteria and expectations of modern society in regard to some environmental aspects, animal welfare, food quality and healthiness. This study proposes the recovery, study and use of a cross between two local breeds, contributing to animal biodiversity conservation and to the income of local pig pr...
Portuguese Local pig breeds: genotype effects on meat and fat quality traits
Martins, J.M.; Fialho, R.; Albuquerque, A.; Neves, J.; Freitas, A.; Nunes, J.T.; Charneca, R.This work investigated the contribution of cross‐breeding between two local Portuguese pig breeds to the conservation of animal biodiversity and income of local pig producers. Quality traits of semimembranosus (SM), gluteus medius (GM) and dorsal subcutaneous fat (DSF) were studied in Alentejano (AL), Bísaro (BI), AL × BI, and BI × AL (Ribatejano—RI) castrated male pigs. Pigs were reared outdoors, fed ad libitu...
Effect of autochthonous starter cultures in the production of "Paio", a traditi...
Dias, I.; Laranjo, M.; Fialho, R.; Potes, M.E.; Véstia, J.; Agulheiro-Santos, A.C.; Fraqueza, M.J.; Elias, M.En los países mediterráneos, como Portugal, los embutidos curados tradicionales son muy apreciados. A menudo se siguen fabricando en pequeñas unidades de procesamiento, de acuerdo con los procedimientos tradicionales. Los objetivos del presente estudio fueron evaluar el efecto de diferentes cultivos iniciadores y su concentración óptima, para reducir la carga microbiana y las aminas biogénicas en productos fina...
