Added fat in corn-sorghum based diets: effect on production, carcass and fat quality
Corn can be substituted by sorghum to prevent exceeding softness of fat depots when the energy level of the diet is increased by adding choice white grease.

Effect of compensatory growth on forms of glycogen, postmortem proteolysis and meat quality in pigs
Compensatory growth affects metabolism of the animals, although these changes have no impact on meat quality.
The effect of cereal type and enzyme supplementation on boar taint in entire male pigs
Barley is an efficient cereal to reduce indole in the adipose tissue in male pigs.
Enrichment with n-3 fatty acid feeding of pigs: changes in composition and properties of bacon and different sausages
Any mode of tuna oil supplementation was efficient in enriching n-3 fatty acid, but care should be taken in producing dry sausages due to their susceptibility to rancidity during storage time.
Effect of feed withdrawal and dietary energy source on muscle glycolytic potential and blood acid-base responses to handling in slaughter-weight pigs
Feeding high-fat diets and 36 h fasting could be effective production practices to reduce pre-slaughter muscle glycolytic potential and, consequently, improve pork quality.
Increasing omega-3 levels through dietary co-extruded flaxseed supplementation negatively affects pork palatability
Feeding co-extruded flaxseed to increase omega-3 fatty acid content in trimmed loin muscle did not result in levels sufficient to meet label requirements and had limited effects on palatability.
The use of selenium enriched Enterococcus faecium as an alternative selenium source for growing-finishing pigs
The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of the feeding of selenium enriched Enterococcus faecium on selenium concentrations in muscle tissue and on meat quality indicators in finishing pigs.
Effect of restricted feeding and realimentation periods on pork quality and fatty acid profile of M. longissimus thoracis
Modifying feed intake during growth may change pork nutritional value and tenderness.
Evaluation of glycerol, a biodiesel coproduct, in grow-finish pig diets to support growth and pork quality
8% crude glycerol can be added to the diet and used as an effective alternative energy source to partially replace corn.
Enhanced water-holding capacity of meat was associated with increased Sepw1 gene expression in pigs fed selenium-enriched yeast
The expression of Sepw1 gene is associated with the enhanced water-holding capacity of meat.
Persistence of blood changes associated with alteration of the dietary electrolyte balance in commercial pigs after feed withdrawal, transportation, and lairage, and the effects on performance and carcass quality
The positive effects of increasing dietary electrolyte balance are affected by the feed withdrawal period before slaughter.
Determination of the viability of Toxoplasma gondii in cured ham using bioassay: influence of technological processing and food safety implications
The consumption of hams cured as described here poses an insignificant risk of acquiring toxoplasmosis. However, additional studies are required to evaluate the safety of ham products cured under different conditions of curing time, salt, and nitrite concentration.
Hepatitis E virus in swine and effluent samples from slaughterhouses in Brazil
With the aim to evaluate the incidence of animals with current infection of HEV, 115 bile samples were collected from three slaughterhouses under inspection by Animal Sanitary Protection Agency of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. In parallel, effluent samples were collected from six sewage pipe exit sites of two slaughterhouses.
The effect of cereal type and enzyme supplementation on carcass characteristics, volatile fatty acids and intestinal microflora and boar taint in entire male pigs
A 2 × 2 factorial experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of cereal type (barley v. oat) and exogenous enzyme supplementation (with or without) on intestinal fermentation, and on indole and skatole levels in the intestinal content and the adipose tissue in finisher boars.
Effects on bacon quality of feeding increasing glycerol and dried distillers grains with solubles to finishing pigs
Pork quality is not affected by glycerol and DDGS inclusion in finishing diets.
Effects of Dietary Supplementation with Rapeseed and Linseed Oil on the Composition of Fatty Acids in Porcine Muscle Tissue
The objective of this study was to determine the effects of dietary supplementation with rapeseed and linseed oils on changes of the fatty acid profile in porcine meat. The research was conducted on 45 fattening pigs divided into three groups.
