Genomic selection for boar taint compounds and carcass traits in a commercial p...
Campos, Carolina Filardi de; Lopes, Marcos Soares; Silva, Fabyano Fonseca e; Veroneze, Renata; Knol, Egbert F.; Lopes, Paulo SávioThis study aimed to compare two different Genome-Wide Selection (GWS) methods (Ridge Regression BLUP − RR-BLUP and Bayesian LASSO − BL) to predict the genomic estimated breeding values (GEBV) of four phenotypes, including two boar taint compounds, i.e., the concentrations of androstenone (andro) and skatole (ska), and two carcass traits, i.e., backfat thickness (fat) and loin depth (loin), which were measured i...
Morphological and molecular differences in corpus luteum of pregnant sows from ...
Costa, Karine A.; Silva, Walmir da; Veroneze, Renata; Montes, José C.; Verardo, Lucas L.; Botelho, Margareth E.; Duarte, Marcio S.; Neves, Mariana M.Comprehending mechanisms controlling corpus luteum (CL) angiogenesis and apoptosis in pregnant sows is essential to understand the physiological role of these processes in CL function, progesterone production and consequently in conceptus development and prenatal mortality. CL from 54 sows from two genetic groups, a commercial line (COM) and the local Piau breed (LPB), were obtained for gene expression (n = 3 C...
Fine mapping and single nucleotide polymorphism effects estimation on pig chrom...
Hidalgo, André M.; Lopes, Paulo S.; Paixão, Débora M.; Silva, Fabyano F.; Bastiaansen, John W.M.; Paiva, Samuel R.; Faria, Danielle A.Fine mapping of quantitative trait loci (QTL) from previous linkage studies was performed on pig chromosomes 1, 4, 7, 8, 17, and X which were known to harbor QTL. Traits were divided into: growth performance, carcass, internal organs, cut yields, and meat quality. Fifty families were used of a F2 population produced by crossing local Brazilian Piau boars with commercial sows. The linkage map consisted of 237 SN...
A canonical correlation analysis of the association between carcass and ham tra...
Ventura, Henrique T.; Lopes, Paulo S.; Peloso, José V.; Guimarães, Simone E.F.; Carneiro, Antonio Policarpo S.; Carneiro, Paulo L.S.The association between carcass and ham traits in a pig population used to produce dry-cured ham was studied using canonical correlation analysis. The carcass traits examined were hot carcass weight (HCW), backfat thickness (BT) and loin depth (LD), and the ham traits studied were gross ham weight (GHW), trimmed ham weight (THW), ham inner layer fat thickness (HIFT), ham outer layer fat thickness (HOFT), pH (pH...
Genomic growth curves of an outbred pig population
Silva, Fabyano Fonseca e; Resende, Marcos Deon V. de; Rocha, Gilson Silvério; Duarte, Darlene Ana S.; Lopes, Paulo Sávio; Brustolini, Otávio J.B.The success of pig production systems, including the evaluation of alternative management and marketing strategies, requires knowledge of the body weight behavior over time, commonly referred to as the growth curve. This knowledge allows the assessment of growth characteristics in actual production situations and translates this information into economic decisions. Differences among animal growth curves partly ...
