This paper reviews current knowledge about factors of importance for pork quality with
special emphasis on technological quality attributes. It is evident that production and …

Statistical analyses are used in many fields of genetic research. Most geneticists are taught
classical statistics, which includes hypothesis testing, estimation and the construction of …

Intramuscular fat (IMF) content plays a key role in various quality traits of meat. IMF content
varies between species, between breeds and between muscle types in the same breed …

In an experimental cross between Meishan and Dutch Large White and Landrace lines, 619
F2 animals and their parents were typed for molecular markers covering the entire porcine …

The role of imprinting in body composition was investigated in an experimental cross
between Chinese Meishan pigs and commercial Dutch pigs. A whole-genome scan …

Abstract Effects of genetic variation in porcine adipocyte and heart fatty acid-binding protein
genes, A-FABP and H-FABP, respectively, on intramuscular fat (IMF) content and backfat …

Intramuscular fat (IMF) content is an important determinant of quality characteristics such as
tenderness, juiciness and flavour, and of its acceptability by consumers. Research has …

In an experimental cross between Meishan and Dutch Large White and Landrace lines, 785
F2 animals with carcass information and their parents were typed for molecular markers …

Intramuscular fat content is generally associated with improved sensory quality and better
acceptability of fresh pork. However, conclusive evidence is still lacking for the biological …

A whole-genome scan was conducted using 132 microsatellite markers to identify
chromosomal regions that have an effect on teat number. For this purpose, an experimental …
