Article Abstract
The intergenic SNP (single-nucleotide polymorphism) rs80860411A>C was identified as a major QTL for drip loss measured on semimembranosus muscle (SM) in pigs. The SNP is located near the . The purpose of this study was to analyze the association between rs80860411A>C and fattening, slaughter, and quality traits of Polish pigs. This study was conducted on 235 individuals belonging to two breeds, Polish Large White (n = 187) and Pulawska (n = 48). The rs80860411 genotypes were determined using the PCR-RFLP method. Association analysis was performed for each breed separately. It was shown that rs80860411A>C had a significant effect on fattening performance traits, on several slaughter performance traits, including width of the loin eye and carcass meat content ( ≤ 0.01, ≤ 0.05), as well as on meat color-redness (a*) ( ≤ 0,05) in Pulawska breed. The obtained results indicate that the studied SNP has the potential to be a QTN and could be included in pig selection programs, especially in Pulawska pigs.

Parathyroid glands exhibit reduced parenchymatic chief cells and increased extracellular collagen as a response to a long-term low-phosphorus diet in pigs.

Parathyroid glands (PTG) are essential in maintaining mineral homeostasis, particularly in regulating blood calcium (Ca) and phosphorus (P) levels. The endocrine regulation via parathyroid hormone (PTH) is a prerequisite for the efficient utilization of dietary P. The PTG contain lobules of PTH-producing chief cells surrounded by extracellular collagen.

Outdoor pig production is often seen as more welfare-friendly than indoor production. However, unless restricted to concrete runs, it is often carried out on grassland. This offers little protection from adverse climatic conditions and grassland is susceptible to poaching during rainy periods.

Many of the lambs and goat kids born annually on dairy sheep and goat farms are not needed for herd replacement and are slaughtered for meat. The goal of this study was to describe rearing and fattening systems for lambs and goat kids from dairy production in Switzerland and to assess their impact on gamma globulin serum levels, health, average daily weight gain (ADG) and mortality. Data from 543 lambs and 247 goat kids from 22 dairy sheep and 17 dairy goat farms in Switzerland was collected.

To evaluate animal performance and meat quality, stoned olive cake and linseed were used in an experimental test conducted on thirty-six young Podolian bulls, divided into four groups: the control group (CON), OC group (with olive cake containing a 30% as-fed basis of stoned olive cake), EL group (with linseed containing a 15% as-fed basis of extruded linseed), and OCEL group (with olive cake + linseed containing 20% stoned olive cake and 10% extruded linseed). The results show that olive cake supplementation did not influence performance in vita or the post-slaughter animal measurements (final body weight, DMI, FCR, ADG, carcass weight, dressing percentage, and pH) ( > 0.05); this was not true of the TBARS and color measurements, for which the meat samples showed excellent values ( < 0.

Multidrug-resistant (MDR) and extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Enterobacteriaceae occur in organic broiler production despite limited antimicrobial use. Their origin is not fully understood. This study characterized the genetic background and transmission dynamics of antimicrobial-resistant Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae from one German organic broiler farm throughout the fattening period.
