Long-Term Physical Activity Modulates Lipid Metabolism and Gene Expression in M...
Martins, José Manuel; Albuquerque, A.; Silva, D.; Neves, J.; Charneca, R.; Freitas, A.This study examined the effect of long-term physical activity during the finishing period on meat and fat quality, and metabolic gene expression in obese Alentejano (AL) pigs. From 87.3 to 161.6 kg BW and for 130 days, eighteen pigs were assigned to either individual pens without an exercise area (NE, n = 9) or an outdoor park with an exercise area (WE, n = 9). Both groups received identical commercial diets at...
Alpha-tocopherol content on the semimembranosus muscle of Alentejano pigs reare...
Neves, J.; Freitas, A.; Martins, J.; Nunes, J.This trial was undertaken to determine the effect of the rearing system (intensive vs. extensive) over the content of antioxidants (alpha-tocopherol) in the meat of Alentejano pigs. Sixteen Alentejano pigs with an average body weight (BW) of 60 kg were divided in two groups: Group I (n=10) was allocated in open-air individual pens, while Group II (n=6) was maintained in a 3 ha natural pasture. Both groups were ...
Efeito de uma dieta rica em fibra no crescimento, características da carcaça e ...
Martins, J.M.; Charneca, R.; Albuquerque, A.; Neves, J.; Freitas, A.; Costa, F.; Marmelo, C.; Ramos, A.; Martin, L.Este estudo visou avaliar em suínos Alentejanos (AL) os efeitos do sexo (animais castrados vs. inteiros) e de uma dieta de engorda rica em fibra no crescimento e qualidade da carcaça e gordura. Esta dieta experimental, com leguminosas produzidas localmente e subprodutos agroindustriais, tinha como finalidade reduzir os compostos causadores do sabor e odor a varrasco (“boar taint”) em machos inteiros. Usaram-se ...

Outdoor finishing of intact male pigs of local breed on a high fibre diet: effe...
Martins, J.M.; Charneca, R.; Varino, R.; Albuquerque, A.; Freitas, A.; Neves, J.; Costa, F.; Marmelo, C.; Ramos, A.; Martin, L.Thirty male pigs of the Portuguese Alentejano (AL) breed raised outdoors with ad libitum water and feed were used to test the effects of a new high soluble dietary fibre feed on animal performance and carcass traits. From 40 to 130kg body weight, surgically castrated (group C) and intact pigs (groups I and IE) were fed with commercial feeds. From 130kg until slaughter (160kg), groups C and I ate a commercial di...
Loin and fat quality of Portuguese local Alentejano and Bísaro pigs and their c...
Martins, J.M.; Albuquerque, A.; Rodrigues, M.J.; Neves, J.; Freitas, A.; Nunes, J.T.; Charneca, R.Alentejano (AL) and Bísaro (BI) Portuguese local pig breeds cohabited in Ribatejo region for some time. Their crosses (RI pigs) and the products obtained, although appreciated, disappeared in the 1950’s without being scientifically evaluated. To assess the meat quality of RI pigs, castrated males from AL, BI, ALxBI and BIxAL genotypes were studied within the framework of the TREASURE project. Raised in a tradit...
Effect of a new high fibre feed on blood biochemistry of outdoor finished male ...
Martins, J.M.; Charneca, R.; Varino, R.; Albuquerque, A.; Freitas, A.; Neves, J.; Marmelo, C.; Costa, F.; Ramos, A.; Martin, L.This work, within the framework of ECO-PIG Project, measured the effects of a high soluble dietary fibre feed on blood biochemistry parameters in outdoor raised Portuguese Alentejano (AL) male pigs (n=30) with access to ad libitum water and feed. Surgically castrated (group C) and intact pigs (groups I and IE) were fed commercial diets from 40 to 130kg body weight. From 130 until 160kg (slaughter), groups C and...

Using GA4 measurements to characterize the use of biostatistics online support ...
Cruz, J.; Freitas, A.An Online Support Documentation has been built, since 2019, for a course of Biostatistics at University of Aveiro. It has been done to better support student study by complementing traditional slide presentations and a book of exercises. This course targets more than 180 students from the first year of the degrees of Biology, Geology and Biology, and Marine Sciences. Last year, 28 students, out of 180, replied ...
Amplification of co-presence in group visits to virtual houses with graphical r...
Freitas, A.; Santos, F.; Santana, P.An individual can observe one’s surrounding space. The space can contain various elements (e.g., objects, furniture), which in turn convey visual information to the individual, giving the sense of being present within the space. The space can be filled by additional individuals who also aim to observe their surroundings. The human ability to observe and interact with the surrounding elements plays a vital role ...
