Simple Summary A divergent selection experiment on intramuscular fat (IMF) content was
carried out during nine generations in rabbits. The IMF content was successfully improved …

Intramuscular fat (IMF) content and composition are relevant for the meat industry due to
their effect on human health and meat organoleptic properties. A divergent selection …

Simple Summary Ten generations of divergent selection for intramuscular fat (IMF) content
was performed in rabbits. Through the generations, the IMF content has improved. Different …

Simple Summary Intramuscular fat content improves the juiciness, tenderness, and flavor of
meat, but it can also affect its nutritional quality. A divergent selection experiment for …

Intramuscular fat (IMF) is one of the main meat quality traits for breeding programmes in
livestock species. The main objective of this study was to identify genomic regions …

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of six generations of selection for
intramuscular fat (IMF) in muscle Longissimus thoracis et lumborum (LTL) at 9 wk. in IMF …

Intramuscular fat content (IMF) and fatty acid composition are two important factors that have
a significant effect on meat quality. Previous studies about lipid deposition mainly focussed …

There is an increasing interest in including intramuscular fat (IMF) content and fatty acid
composition, particularly oleic acid (C18: 1) content, in the selection objectives of pig lines …

Intramuscular fat (IMF) content plays a key role in various quality traits of meat. IMF content
varies between species, between breeds and between muscle types in the same breed …

Background Besides having an impact on human health, the porcine muscle fatty acid
profile determines meat quality and taste. The RNA-Seq technologies allowed us to explore …
