Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleHaematological Status for Selected Pig BreedsJanka Kotosová, Janka Poráčová, Ladislav Vaško et al.Changes which are constantly brought by the transformation of our agriculture, as well as the effort to be involved in the EU market economy and change priorities in various areas of our economy. They can be summarized in the quality, productive health and economy. Blood count does not only change in pigs with age, but it also depends on the … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 23 Dec 2014 · 7,333 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleThe Porcine Mitochondrial Transcription Factor a Gene: Molecular Characterization, Radiation Hybrid Mapping and Genetic Diversity among 12 Pig BreedsTanja Kunej, Xiao-Lin Wu, Jennifer J. Michal et al.Problem statement: Mitochondrial transcription factor A (TFAM) is a nucleus-encoded protein that is a key activator of mitochondrial transcription as well as a major participant in mitochondrial genome replication. Genomic characterization of the porcine TFAM gene is, therefore, necessary to determine its involvement in regulation of fat depots and meat quality traits in pigs. Approach: Genomic DNA sequence was determined … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 6,870 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsStudy on the Correlations between Mineral Contents in Musculus Longissimus Dorsi and Meat Quality for Five Breeds of PigsREN Guang-zhi, WANG Ming, LI Zhen-tian et al.The correlations between mineral contents in musculus longissimus dorsi and meat quality for five breeds of pigs were studied in this experiment. Two imported breeds (Duroc and Yorkshires) and three local breeds (Huainan pig, Nanyang black pig, Queshan black pig) from Henan province of China were chosen in this trial. Ten 90 kg finishing pigs were selected randomly to slaughter … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,159 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLeukemia Inhibitory Factor (LIF) Gene Polymorphism and its Impact on Reproductive Traits of PigsM. A. Leonova, L. V. Getmantseva, V. N. Vasilenko et al.The purpose of this study was to determine the frequencies of alleles and genotypes of the Leukemia Inhibitory Factor (LIF) gene (ID: 399503) in Landrace, Large White and Duroc pigs in Russia and to evaluate the impact on productive traits of pigs. Polymorphism was genotyped using PCR-RFLP method. In the course of studies we observed a different distribution of allele … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 18 Oct 2015 · 7,404 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPHYLOGENETIC ANALYSIS OF THE SWINE LEUKOCYTE ANTIGEN-6 GENE GENERATED FROM SPLEENTISSUE OF KOREAN NATIVE PIGJaeyoung Kim, Hyojun Park, Yoonchung Choi, Hoyoung ChungThis study was aimed to search genetic variants, to investigate phylogenetic relationships between pig breeds and to provide basic genetic information of Korean Native Pigs (KNP) using the variations of the Swine Leukocyte Antigen-6 (SLA-6) gene. Cloning of the Swine Leukocyte Antigen (SLA)-6 gene in the MHC non-classical region was performed with spleen tissues of Korean Native Pigs (KNP). Sequencing … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 22 Feb 2014 · 7,234 accessesView PDF Cite
