Genetic Control of Eye Development, a Case Study Focused on the Murine Mutation Belly Spot and Tail (BST)
… on the function of other genes.</p> <p>The Belly spot and tail (Bst) semi-dominant mutation, mapped to mouse Chromosome 16, leads to developmental defects of the eye, skeleton, and coat pigmentation. In the eye, the mutant phenotype is characterized by the presence of retinal colobomas, a …

Evaluating fat quality and bacon slicing yields in immunologically castrated barrows
… Kalamazoo, MI) on lipid deposition, fresh belly quality and bacon slicing yields. Immunological castration allows producers to capitalize on the increased feed efficiency and leanness associated with intact males while controlling boar taint. One disadvantage of leaner pigs, however, is …

Effects of pelleting growing-finishing diets with distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS) on growth performance, carcass characteristics, and commercial bacon slicing yields of barrows and gilts
… were collected for manufacture into bacon. Belly dimensions and flop distance were measured. A fat sample from each belly was collected for fatty acid analysis. Bacon was manufactured at a commercial processor and then returned to the University of Illinois Meat Science Laboratory for …

Quantifying the influence of iodine value on pork quality
Pork belly composition and bacon cooking performance are primary considerations for overall belly quality. To date, no technology exists to objectively measure these attributes simultaneously. Lab-based measurements of these characteristics are laborious, destructive, and time-consuming. Rapid …

Factors associated with variation in the fatty acid composition and iodine value of carcass fat in pigs fed increasing levels of dried distillers grains with solubles
… plant and fat samples were collected from the belly (anterior end), jowl (anterior end), backfat 1 (3rd thoracic vertebra), and backfat 2 (clear plate). Fat composition was measured on subsamples of pigs from each pen. Fatty acid profile was measured using gas chromatography (GC). Iodine value …

Rhythmic Layering: The Baladi Project
This thesis began with a program, the belly dance studio; the dance inspired the architecture through the translation of Arabic music into physical measurement as well as less tangible attributes that shaped the final design. There was an attempt to find a link between dance and architecture. Both …

Bacon Production: Evaluating Potential Processing and Management Practices to Improve Product Quality of Industrial Sliced Bacon
… trial was conducted to determine differences in belly and bacon quality traits in pigs fed ractopamine (RAC) for various durations during finishing. A 2x3x2 factorial arrangement was used with barrows and gilts, fed RAC levels of 0.0, 5.0, or 7.4 ppm, for 21 or 28 d prior to harvest. Bellies were …

Evaluation of the effects of branched chain amino acids and corn-distillers dried grains by-products on the growth performance, carcass and meat quality characteristics of pigs
… higher inclusion levels of both co-products and belly firmness was negatively affected by increasing levels of both DDGS and HP-DDG. A second experiment was designed to define the minimum CP level and whether non-essential amino acids become limiting in low crude protein diets for late finishing …
