Heuven, H. , Plastow, G., Peleman, J., Siggens, K., Brugmanns, B., Bagga, M.
AFLP® was utilized successfully as a tool to generate a large number (more than 100) of DNA markers in a total of 2435 individuals from the EC Pig Biodiversity project. This information was used for an initial genetic distance analysis with the results tending to group the lines and breeds as...

In this paper we examine the role of thyroid hormone in regulating expression of the Na+/H+ exchanger. Thyroid hormone has been reported to regulate the activity of the Na+/H+ exchanger messenger RNA in some cell types. Treatment of cardiac myocytes with 3,5′,3′-triiodothyronine results in an...

We describe the characterisation of the two main coat colour determining loci (MC1R and KIT) for pigs and demonstrate how this information can be utilized for breed identification. These approaches can be useful components of quality assurance and traceability schemes which are increasingly...

Background:Gene expression profiling in blood is a potential source of biomarkers to evaluate or predict phenotypic differences between pigs but is expensive and inefficient because of the high abundance of globin mRNA in porcine blood. These limitations can be overcome by the use of QuantSeq...

The expression of the cyanobacterial recA gene, isolated from Anabaena variabilis, has been examined at the levels of transcript and protein abundance. Exposure of the cyanobacterium to a variety of DNA-damaging agents, including mitomycin C, methyl methanesulfonate, and UV irradiation, results...

Pulse-based Vegan Dog Food: Examination of Digestibility with or without Added Enzymes in Adult Dogs and Ileal Cannulated Pigs as a Model
DownloadFall 2023
Demand for vegan dog foods is growing, yet little research has been conducted concerning the digestibility of these foods for dogs. The pulses and pulse protein concentrates that provide protein in these foods contain anti-nutritional factors (ANF), which may reduce nutrient digestibility....

Amat, Samat, Lantz, Hannah, Munyaka, Peris M., Willing, Benjamin P.
A diverse and dynamic microbial community (known as microbiota) resides within the pig gastrointestinal tract (GIT). The microbiota contributes to host health and performance by mediating nutrient metabolism, stimulating the immune system, and providing colonization resistance against pathogens....

Pork is the most widely eaten meat in the world, but typical feeding practices give it a high omega-6 (n-6) to omega-3 (n-3) fatty acid ratio and make it a poor source of n-3 fatty acids. Feeding pigs n-3 fatty acids can increase their contents in pork, and in countries where label claims are...

Nutritional Factors Impacting Intestinal Lipid Metabolism Using a Model of Low Birth Weight Swine
DownloadSpring 2018
Introduction: Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as obesity, type 2 diabetes (T2D) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) are increasing at an alarming rate globally. A common feature in these conditions is increased adiposity leading to insulin resistance (IR). Dyslipidemia is a major contributing...

Nutritional Characterization of Wheat Distillers Dried Grains with Solubles in Grower-Finisher Pigs
DownloadFall 2011
Co-product feedstuffs, if properly characterized nutritionally, are an important component to maintain the feed competitiveness of the pork industry. Hence, nutrient digestibility of distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS) was measured using grower-finisher pigs. In Exp. 1, two methods were...
