The development of quality labels for different lamb meats makes necessary to implement analytical methodologies to guarantee consumers the origin of the products. Eighty single birth male lambs from five Southern Spain sheep breeds (Grazalema Merino, Churra Lebrijana, Spanish Merino, Montesina and Segureña) were selected for the study and fed according to their traditional production system (w...

We propose an optimal system for determining the shipping schedule pigs using a predictive model machine learning based on big data. This receives photographic and weight measurement information each pig from camera weighing installed in pen raising corresponding to predetermined fattening period. Then, of these is applied machine-learned advance determine whether or not there are candidate pre...

This study comprised 136 meat samples (m. longissimus lumborum) from pork carcasses of six-month-old crossbred porkers derived ♀ (Polish Large White×Polish Landrace)×♂ (Duroc×Pietrain), with an average carcass weight 85.8 ± 8.5 kg, slaughtered on industrial processing line. The pH1, pH24, pH48, WHC, colour parameters (L*, a*, b*), moisture content, crude protein, intramuscular fat, and water-so...

The ham from Iberian pigs is a meat product of high sensorial quality, with a first-rate consumer acceptance. Its excellent sensorial characteristics are basically due to the extensive feeding system of Iberian pigs, based on acorns and grass, and the prolonged technological processing of the ham (18-24 months). Iberian hams present high intramuscular fat content and marbling. Currently, chemic...

Recent studies suggest that patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus are at increased risk of fracture, possibly because hyperinsulinemia is a risk factor for low bone mineral density, which may in turn be a consequence of a lipotoxic effect of visceral and/or intramuscular fat on bone. In the current study, we investigated whether insulin plays a role in cortical bone development by performing a...

Although hemangioma is a common benign soft-tissue tumor, the formation of intratumoral ossification is rare. Ossified intramuscular hemangioma, an infrequent benign tumor, is characterized by a progressively enlarging painless mass in the lower extremity of young female. Herein, we report a case of 27-year-old female suffered from a progressively enlarging painless mass in her left thigh. The ...

OBJECTIVES Although many clinical and experimental investigations have shed light on muscle atrophy and intramuscular accumulation of fat after rotator cuff disruption, none have reported on their onset in the absence of muscle retraction. METHODS In 30 rabbits, we detached one supraspinatus (SSP) tendon and repaired it immediately, thus preventing muscle retraction. The animals were killed i...

The effect of forage and breed of lambs on the fatty acid profile of intramuscular fat in m. longissimus lumborum (LL) and depot fat (SCF) above this muscle was investigated. The study was carried out in two replications on 36 Koluda sheep (KS) and Ile de France×KS (IF×KS) ram-lambs fattened intensively to 32–37 kg of body weight. Lambs were fed ad libitum the same concentrate mixture and diffe...
