The Effect of Reduced Dietary Protein on Adipose Tissue in Local Krskopolje Pigs.

ABSTRACT: The Slovenian autochthonous breed, Krškopolje pig, is known for high fatness and better adaptability to different environmental conditions and feed resources. However, the metabolic processes underlying these adaptations, especially in response to different diets, have not yet been studied. A deeper understanding of these mechanisms could provide valuable insights into the breed's adaptability to different environmental conditions. Therefore, the main objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of a low-protein (LP) diet on adipose tissue in Krškopolje pigs reared in either organic outdoor (n = 2 × 12) or conventional indoor (n = 2 × 14) systems. In the outdoor system, the LP diet had no effect on adipocyte size compared to the control (high-protein) diet, while it increased lipogen
