Chinese, American and European corporations in the pork global value chain (GVC) use soybeans as a key input to feed pigs. This research answers the following questions: what were the ten main soybean exporting corporations in Brazil in 2020? How much did they deforest? What biomes did they affect? Is the trade relationship between Brazil and China...
Heat stress (HS) compromises reproductive and growth parameters. Pigs subjected to heat stress reduce voluntary intake and modify their energy metabolism causing a reduction in daily weight gain and an increase in subcutaneous fat accumulation, which negatively affects the carcass quality of fattening pigs. In the sow it causes a negative energy ba...

Las mitocondrias son organelas complejas que desempeñan un papel fundamental en la célula, la disfunción mitocondrial puede ocasionar daños celulares significativos o la muerte. Estudios previos han demostrado los prometedores efectos terapéuticos del trasplante de mitocondrias autólogas a un tejido cardiaco isquémico, sin embargo, pocos estudios h...
Background: Soybean milk by-product (SMBP) is a potential alternative feed ingredient in swine diets due to its high protein content. However, information on energy and nutritional values of SMBP used as swine feed ingredient is limited. Objective: To estimate energy values and protein digestibility of SMBP in pigs based on in vitro assays. Methods...
Introduction. Motility is the most used seminal quality indicator, therefore, it is necessary to determine an adequate frame rate (FR) to standardize kinetic analysis with computerized semen analysis equipment (CASA-Mot) and reduce variability between laboratories, which will improve the number of seminal doses and their quality for the swine indus...
The incidence of Ryr1 and SOX6 polymorphisms were studied in a population of northeastern Entre Ríos. Both genes are related to meat quality, Hal is known to be responsible for porcine stress syndrome and the presence of pale, soft and exudative meat (PSE) while SOX6 is a versatile transcription factor and plays an important role in muscle fiber d...
[ES] La zinc-protoporifirina (ZnPP) es un pigmento natural en el cual el átomo de hierro del anillo porfirínico ha sido sustituido por un átomo de zinc, reacción catalizada por la enzima ferroquelatasa (FeQ). Este pigmento ha sido recientemente descrito en productos cárnicos sin nitritos ni nitratos añadidos, como por ejemplo en el Jamón de Parma. ...
RESUMEN Con el objetivo de evaluar la influencia de la suplementación con zinc orgánico en el rendimiento de los cerdos en desarrollo en ambiente caluroso (t 30.4°C; HR de 73% y THI 82), se usaron 96 cerdos de 84 d de edad (33.8 ± DE 0.96 kg de p.v.) en un diseño de bloques completos al azar. Los tratamientos fueron: Testigo (n = 24), dieta de desa...
In order to evaluate the influence of organic zinc supplementation on the performance of developing pigs in a warm environment (t 30.4 °C, RH of 73% and THI 82), 96 pigs of 84 d of age were used (33.8 ± 0.96 kg of live weight) in a randomized complete block design. The treatments were: 1) Control (n = 24), corn/soybean-based developing pig diet; 2)...
