Nutritional Approaches to Increase Intramuscular Fat in Pigs
… to evaluate the effects of nutrition on intramuscular fat (IMF) and pork quality. The first study evaluate if intramuscular fat content can be increased in pigs by feeding vitamin A deficient diets. This study demonstrated that there was no effect of feeding vitamin A (P > 0.05) on …

FEEDLOT PERFORMANCE AND IMMUNOLOGY OF BEEF STEERS FED A LOW VITAMIN A DIET AND SELECTED FOR ADH1C GENOTYPE
… TT animals with reduced VA intake have improved intramuscular fat (IMF) in the longissimus thoracis muscle in beef cattle. The intent of this study was to determine whether this marker-assisted management (MAM) strategy would be effective at a commercial level, and whether there would be any …

Effects of Amino Acid Supplementation of Reduced Crude Protein (RCP) Diets on the Performance and Carcass Quality of Growing-Finishing Swine
… and quality characteristics of the LM and the fatty acid composition of the LM and s.c. jowl fat from growing-finishing swine. Pigs were blocked by BW within gender, and allocated randomly to pens (6 pigs/pen) which were then assigned randomly within each block and gender to either corn-SBM …

Effects of weaning age and maternal nutrition on gene expression of longissimus muscle of beef steers
… transcriptional networks regulating intramuscular fat (IMF) deposition in response weaning age and dietary starch level were studied. The longissimus muscle (LM) of beef steers on an early weaning (141 days age) plus high-starch diet (EWS) or a normal weaning (NW, 222 days age) plus …

Cellular and Molecular Mechanisms Governing Intramuscular Fat Development and Growth in Cattle
Intramuscular fat (IMF), the adipose tissue deposited between skeletal muscle fibers, plays a critical role in enhancing beef flavor, juiciness, and tenderness. Compared to subcutaneous fat (SF), IMF exhibits delayed development and slower growth. What causes IMF to develop later and grow more …

Gene variations of FABP4, SCD, GH, and IGF1R and their associations with meat and carcass traits in sheep : A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy at Lincoln University
… is to determine the association of the genes for fatty acid binding protein 4 (FABP4), stearoyl CoA desaturase (SCD), growth hormone (GH) and insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor (IGF1R) with meat characteristics such as intramuscular fat (IMF) levels, fat percentage, fatty acid profile, and …
