Journal ArticleDOI
Performance, meat and carcass traits of fattening pigs with organic versus conventional housing and nutrition
TL;DR: It was concluded that organic pig fattening does not necessarily affect growth performance negatively, but meat quality traits can be influenced by both organic nutrition and housing type.
Journal ArticleDOI
The estimated accuracy of the EU reference dissection method for pig carcass classification
PM Nissen,Hans Busk,Marjatta Oksama,M. Seynaeve,Marina Gispert,Peter Walstra,I Hansson,Eli V. Olsen +7 more
TL;DR: A high accuracy was found, although a significant effect was found on the estimation of lean meat percentage (LMP) of butcher, and also that jointing of the carcass was of overall importance to the accuracy of the EU-reference dissection method.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Asp298Asn missense mutation in the porcine melanocortin-4 receptor ( MC4R) gene can be used to affect growth and carcass traits without an effect on meat quality.
K. Van den Maagdenberg,Anneleen Stinckens,Erik Claeys,M. Seynaeve,Antoine Clinquart,Michel Georges,Nadine Buys,S. De Smet +7 more
TL;DR: In the studied population, the Asp298Asn mutation in the MC4R gene was associated with improved daily gain, higher carcass fatness and almost no effect on meat quality traits.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of increasing amounts of Lupinus albus seeds without or with whole egg powder in the diet of growing pigs on performance
C. J. Van Nevel,C. J. Van Nevel,M. Seynaeve,G. Van de Voorde,S. De Smet,E Van Driessche,R. De Wilde +6 more
TL;DR: Pig growth, feed utilization, digestibility of nutrients, slaughter and carcass characteristics, and fatty acid profile of backfat were determined and slightly higher proportions of C18:1 were observed when lupin seeds were fed, but the exact reason could not be derived from this experiment.
Journal ArticleDOI
The influence of dietary salt level on water consumption, farrowing, and reproductive performance of lactating sows.
TL;DR: The results indicate that a low-salt diet for lactating sows results in lower water consumption, lower urine production, and lower Na and Cl concentrations in the urine.
