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

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 …

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 …

Semimembranosus muscle samples from 795 Large White heavy pigs were used to
determine their intramuscular fatty acid composition and to estimate the heritability and the …

The effects of genotype, diet and the genotype with diet interaction on fatty acid composition
of neutral lipid and phospholipid of intramuscular fat in pigs were examined. Pigs from four …

We estimated the heritabilities (h2) and genetic and phenotypic correlations among
individual and groups of fatty acids, as well as their correlations with six important carcass …

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 …

A divergent selection experiment on intramuscular fat (IMF) was performed in rabbits. The
aim of this study is to estimate the response to selection, the correlated responses in carcass …

Correlated responses on carcass and meat quality characteristics after 3 generations of
divergent selection for intramuscular fat (IMF) content were assessed by comparing the high …
