Background Shaziling pig is a well-known indigenous breed in China who has superior
meat quality traits. However, the genetic mechanism and genomic evidence underlying meat …

Porcine body length is closely related to meat production, growth, and reproductive performance,
thus playing a key role in the profitability of the pork industry. Cartilage development is …

Simple Summary Meishan pigs have a lower fetal loss rate during mid-late gestation
compared to Duroc pigs. Differentially expressed mRNAs and miRNAs detected in endometrial …

The biological mechanisms underlying meat quality remain unclear. Currently, many studies
report that the gastrointestinal microbiota is essential for animal growth and performance. …

Surgical castration can effectively avoid boar taint and improve pork quality by removing the
synthesis of androstenone in the testis, thereby reducing its deposition in adipose tissue. …

The screening of important candidate genes and the identification of genetic markers are
important for molecular selection in the pig industry. The hematopoietically expressed …

Heat stress can impair organismal growth by inducing ubiquitination, proteasome-mediated
degradation, and subsequent cellular damage. Vitamin C (VC) has been shown to …

Compared to commercial breeds, Chinese local pig breeds have a greater ability to digest
dietary fiber, which may be due to differences in intestinal microbiota. In this study, we fed Ding…

The porcine body length trait is an essential factor affecting meat production and reproductive
performance. It is evident that the development/lengthening of individual vertebrae is one …

Simple Summary MicroRNAs play crucial roles in regulating adipogenesis and fat storage;
their role in regulating castrated male pig adipose growth is worth elucidating. Four nine-fold …
