Effect of sire line and rearing environment on the growth performance and carcass characteristics of growing-finishing pigs
The effects of sire line and rearing environment on the growth performance and carcass characteristics of growing-finishing pigs were evaluated using 208 barrows from 2 purebred sire lines. The study was conducted as a randomized complete block design (blocking factor was the day of start of test) …

Effect of sire line and selection index category on pig growth performance from weaning to harvest and carcass characteristics
The objective of this study was to compare 3 sire lines and the effect of selection index category within sire line on growth performance (from 6.1 ± 0.29 to 129.8 ± 2.16 kg BW) and carcass characteristics of pigs under commercial conditions. A randomized complete block design (blocking factor …

Factors Affecting the Textural Properties of Pork
The D sire line had less fat depth and greater percent lean than the C line (P < 0.05). Barrows were fatter than gilts, as evident by more subcutaneous fat, lower percent lean, and more intramuscular fat (P < 0.05). Pork quality measurements were inconsistent over sire line, indicating no advantage …

Environmental, Nutritional, and Physiological Factors Associated with Hoof Growth and Wear in Holstein Cows
… ambient temperature. Reproductive efficiency, sire line, arid type evaluations did not influence hoof growth or wear. Older animals exhibited slower rates of growth and wear in the lateral region of rear hooves. Hooves grew more slowly in early lactation than in late lactation. Increased …

Relationship between cooking rate and Warner-Bratzler shear force from pork chops cooked to two degrees of doneness
… pork chops, ranging from pre-slaughter factors (sire line, sex, animal handling), to inherent factors in both direct (sarcomere length, collagen content, postmortem proteolysis) and indirect (pH, WHC, color, marbling) ways. Other factors such as choice of cooking method and degree of doneness can …

A study of factors that influence growth performance and carcass and meat quality of iberian pigs reared under intensive management systems : Estudio de los factores que influyen sobre la productividad y la calidad de la canal y la carne de cerdo Ibérico en intensivo
… slaughter weight, feed restriction and terminal sire line were studied. To reach these goals, four trials were carried out. In the first trial a total of 360 IB dam x Spanish Duroc sire pigs was used to study the influence of gender and castration (intact females, IF vs. castrated females, CF vs. …

Characterizing the amount and variability of intramuscular fat deposition of pork loins using barrows and gilts from two sire lines
… 4 pigs each. Equal numbers of barrows and gilts sired by boars targeting meat quality or lean growth were used. All pigs were fed the same corn-soybean diet formulated to meet or exceed nutrient requirements based on the 2012 National Research Council requirements of swine, for a 3-phase feeding …
