Price, M. A., Richmond, R. J., Berg, R. T., Jones, S. D. M.
The growth and distribution of bone from 179 pig carcasses were compared among five breeds (Duroc x Yorkshire (DxY), Hampshire x Yorkshire (HxY), Yorkshire (YxY), Yorkshire x Lacombe-Yorkshire ffxl--Y) and Lacombe x Yorkshire (LxY)) and two sex-types (barrows and gilts) over a wide range in...

Richmond, R. J., Jones, S. D. M., Berg, R. T., Price, M. A.
The growth and distribution of fat from 163 pig carcasses were compared among five breeds (Duroc × Yorkshire (D × Y), Hampshire × Yorkshire (H × Y), Yorkshire (Y × Y), Yorkshire × Lacombe-Yorkshire (Y × L-Y) and Lacombe × Yorkshire (L × Y)) and two sex-types (barrows and gilts) over a wide range...

Keyghobadi, N., Roland, J., Fownes, S.
We used mark-recapture methods to estimate the number of Parnssius smintheus (Papilionidae) butterflies moving among 20 alpine meadows separated by varying amounts of forest along the east slope of the Rocky Mountains in Alberta, Canada. We combined generalized additive models and generalized...

Use of Type I DNA markers for initial genetic characterization of two Portuguese swine breeds.
Download2003
Zhang, Y., Ramos, A.M., Cardoso, A., Gouveia, S., Rothschild, M.F., Mestre, R., Plastow, G. , Rangel-Figueiredo, T., Evans, G.
In order to be effective, strategies for conservation and improvement of local pig breeds must ideally include both the phenotypic and genetic characterization of those breeds. In this study, phenotypic information was collected for individuals from the Portuguese pig breeds, Alentejano and...

Development of carcass cuts, organs, body tissue and chemical body composition during growth of pigs
Download2006
Landgraf, S., Roehe, R., Plastow, G. S., Kalm, E., Looft, H., Susenbeth, A., Knap, P. W.
A serial slaughter trial was carried out to examine the developmental change of physical and chemical body composition in pigs highly selected for lean content. A total of 48 pigs (17 females and 31 castrated males) were serially slaughtered and chemically analysed. Eight pigs were slaughtered at...

Allometric association between in vivo estimation of body composition during growth using deuterium dilution technique and chemical analysis of serial slaughtered pigs
Download2006
Looft, H., Landgraf, S., Kalm, E., Roehe, R., Plastow, G. S., Susenbeth, A., Knap, P. W.
The objective of this study was to develop accurate mathematical-statistical functions to estimate body composition of live pigs between 20 and 140 kg weight from total body water (TBWA) determined by the deuterium dilution technique. Chemical body compositions during the growth period are...

Petrophysical properties of bitumen from the Upper Devonian Grosmont reservoir, Alberta, Canada
DownloadFall 2009
The Upper Devonian Grosmont reservoir in Alberta, Canada, is the single largest carbonate bitumen reservoir in the world, with an estimated 400 billion barrels of bitumen in place. The Grosmont bitumen formed from light crude oil via extensive biodegradation, which produced extremely high in-situ...

Fall 2009
β-Glucan is a soluble fibre shown to help regulate blood sugar and lower cholesterol. Incorporation into food, particularly bread, may affect β-glucan’s physicochemical properties and health benefits. The journey of β-glucan through the mixing, fermenting, baking, and storage of bread was...

The role of functional properties of dietary fiber in the control of nutrient flow and intestinal health in pigs
DownloadFall 2010
Viscosity and fermentability are considered important properties of dietary fiber. Viscosity increases digesta viscosity and reduces digesta passage rate, nutrient digestion and absorption whereas fermentability increases fermentation into short chain fatty acids (SCFA). The objectives were to...
