The effects of the rate of gain during four periods of growth on carcass characteristics in swine
… per pound for deviation in growth rate. The loin eye area and the average back fat thickness had a consistent, but not statistically significant association with the live weight groupings as arbitrarily designation. The carcass length was inconsistently and statistically nonsignificantly …

Lysine levels and ideal ratios of amino acids for finishing pigs
… requirements for daily gain, gain:feed ratio, loin-eye area, 10th rib fat depth, lean gain, and plasma urea N were.58% for EF barrows and.64% for EF gilts. Digestible Lys requirement estimates based on the average of the requirements for daily gain, gain:feed ratio, lean gain, and plasma urea N …

Use of ultrasound technology in the genetic improvement of U.S. lamb composition
… lambs to determine accuracy and repeatability of loin eye area (LEA), backfat thickness (BF), and body wall thickness (BW) estimations. Correlations between ultrasonic and carcass measurements were 0.66, 0.78, and 0.73 for LEA, BF, and BW, respectively. Performance was similar among technicians …

Inclusão de volumoso para bovinos de corte terminados com dietas de alto grão
… period. The finishing characteristics, loin eye area, fat thickness, and croup’s fat 8 thickness were obtained using an ultrasound device. Thermal welfare and production of 9 enteric heat were evaluated daily, and blood samples were collected at the beginning and the 10 end of the …

Mapping phenotypic traits in swine
… and associated with a relatively large effect on loin eye area. The QTL is located between microsatellite markers SW1129 and SW1647 on chromosome 6 encompassing a span of 73.2 million base pairs (Mb) with a 95% confidence interval spanning 98 Mb. To reduce the size of this interval and identify …

Regulation of skeletal muscle growth and gene expression by insulin-like growth factors and myostatin
… and gilts with either GPat or APat alleles. Loin eye area was 10% greater (P = 0.01) and back fat was reduced (P = 0.01) 15% in APat pigs compared with GPat pigs. Consequently, boneless carcass cutting yield was increased (P < 0.01) 2.34 percentage units in APat pigs compared with GPat pigs. …

Evaluation of corn germ and DDGS in diets fed to pigs
… the control diet had greater (P < 0.05) loin eye area compared with pigs fed the DDGS diet. It was observed that BW, HCW, and back fat thickness were greater (P < 0.05) for barrows than for gilts, but fat free lean percentage was greater (P < 0.05) for gilts than for barrows. There were …

The effects of dietary soy isoflavone supplementation on carcass cutability and meat quality of pigs infected with porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus
… the 10th and 11th rib for determination of loin eye area (LEA), backfat thickness (BF), and loin quality (ultimate pH, instrumental color, drip loss, visual color, marbling, and firmness). Loin chops were aged 14 d postmortem prior to Warner-Bratzler shear force (WBSF) determination. Belly …

Effects of a dietary antioxidant blend on growth performance, liver function, oxidative stress, and meat and fat quality in pigs and broiler chickens fed diets high in oxidants
… less back fat, less lean body mass and smaller loin eye area, decreased dressing percentage and intensive lipofuscin deposition induced by the high oxidant diet. However, the traits of loin muscle redness and belly firmness were not fully corrected by AOX. The second study was to investigate the …

Hybrid rye may partially or fully replace corn in diets fed to growing or reproducing swine
… weight, carcass yield, 10th rib fat thickness, loin eye area, and fat-free lean percent, were not different among treatments, but loins of pigs fed hybrid rye had lighter visual color (linear, P < 0.05) and lighter backfat instrumental color (linear, P < 0.05). Pigs fed greater amounts of hybrid …
