Excessive fat deposition can trigger metabolic diseases, and it is crucial to identify factors that can break the link between fat deposition and metabolic diseases. Healthy obese Laiwu pigs (LW) are high in fat content but resistant to metabolic diseases. In this study, we compared the fecal microb...

A study was performed to determine if serum-metabolomics could be used to establish a predictive tool for identifying ractopamine misuse in pigs. Ractopamine, a beta-agonist used as growth promoter in livestock, is with great controversy, and it has been forbidden in most countries worldwide. Howeve...

Skeletal muscles, accounting for 40% of mammalian body mass, exhibit pronounced heterogeneity due to distinct anatomical locations. Animal husbandry excessively focuses on longissimus dorsi (LDM) development, while neglecting other muscles. In this study, we integrated Bulk RNA Sequencing (bulk R...

Abstract

Background

The gut microbiota is a key regulator of host lipid metabolism. In indigenous pigs, variation in growth performance and intramuscular fat (IMF) deposition has been linked to microbiota-host interactions, yet the specific taxa and metabolites that govern host lipid ...

This study investigated the effects of dietary 0.10% chlorogenic acid supplementation on the meat quality and metabolic profile of Shaziling pigs. Longissimus dorsi muscle samples were collected and analyzed using untargeted liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) in both positive and neg...

In mammalian species, the first days after birth are an important period for survival and the rates of mortality before weaning are high. In pigs, the perinatal deaths average 20% of the litter, with important economic and societal consequences. Among the factors influencing piglet survival at birth...

Abstract:

Background: Corn dried distillers’ grains with solubles (DDGS) is a cost-effective alternative feed ingredient in swine diets. However, its negative impact on carcass fat quality, characterized by increased polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) and reduced fat firmness, fundamentall...

Apolipoprotein E (APOE) and the low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) play a key role in regulating lipoprotein transport and cholesterol homeostasis. However, their roles in porcine fat deposition and adipose tissue remodelling are not well understood. This study utilised wild-type (WT) and APOE/...
