Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleEffects of Differently Processed Taro Mixed With Other Ingredients on Digestibility and Nitrogen Balance in Crossbred PigsPhiny Chiv, Saravuth Tum, Putheasath Sin et al.Leaves from forage crops and vegetables such as water spinach, sweetpotato, cassava, and especially taro, can be incorporated into pig diets aspartially replace commonly used protein sources including fish meal or/and soybeanmeal. However, their use remains limited among farmers and livestock producers.This study aimed to compare feed intake, determine apparent digestibilitycoefficients, and analyze nitrogen retention in pigs fed various forms … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 21, Issue 2 · 7 Jul 2026 · 1,355 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Fibrous Diets for Finishing Pigs: Digestibility, Performance and Carcass TraitsBernardo Berenchtein, Adibe Luiz Abdalla, Patrícia Pimentel Santos Riguetto et al.Two experiments were conducted to evaluate digestibility, performance and carcass traits of finishing pigs fed fibrous diets, such as, basal diet (Control treatment) and inclusion of Tifton-85 hay, Soybean hulls or Citrus pulp. Twenty crossbred castrated male pigs, with average body weight of 70.00±1.95 kg, distributed in a randomized block design with four treatments and five repetitions (blocks) were used … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 11 Feb 2019 · 7,273 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Single and Combined Effect of MC4R and GH Genes on Productive Traits of PigsLyubov Getmantseva, Maria Leonova, Aleksander Usatov et al.The aim of our work is to identify the single and combined effect of MC4R and GH polymorphism genes on growth and reproduction traits of pigs. The study was carried out on 204 crossbred F1 females (♀Landrace х ♂Large White) of the Breeding Farm in Russia. The analyzed productive traits were: The number of Days to 100-kg (Days to 100 … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 1 · 18 Jan 2017 · 8,115 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEFFECTS OF MELANOCORTIN-4 RECEPTOR GENE ON GROWTH AND MEAT TRAITS IN PIGS RAISED IN RUSSIAA. Klimenko, A. Usatov, Lyubov Getmantseva et al.The Melanocortin-4 Receptor (MC4R), a G-protein coupled receptor, is implicated in mediating the effect of leptin on food intake and energy balance. A previous candidate gene study reported an association between an MC4R polymorphism (Asp298Asn) and growth and meat productive traits of pigs. The aim of this work was to determine frequencies of the MC4R/Taq I genotypes and alleles in … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 11 Feb 2014 · 7,608 accessesView PDF Cite
