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 …

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 …

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 …

Purpose A better understanding of the control of body fat mass and distribution is required
for both human health and animal production. The current study investigates plasma …

The amount of intramuscular fat (IMF) present in the loin eye area is one of the most
important characteristics of high-quality pork. IMF measurements are currently impractical …

Simple Summary In meat production, the fat within an animal's muscles, known as
intramuscular fat (IMF), is key to quality. This study investigated how breeding rabbits for …

Background Intramuscular fat (IMF) content is an important trait for both meat production and
human health, where the host genetics and its microbiome greatly contribute to its …

Intramuscular fat content (IMF) is a key meat quality trait determined by a complex host-
microbiota co-metabolism. In this study, two rabbit lines divergently selected for IMF (high …
