Low level of drip loss (DL) is an important quality characteristic of meat with high economic value. However, the key genes and regulatory networks contributing to DL in pork remain largely unknown. To accurately identify the key genes affe...
Utilizing gas flux from automated head chamber systems to estimate dietary energy values for beef cattle fed a finishing diet [0.03%]
利用自动化头盖室系统中的气体流量估算肉牛育肥日粮的能量价值
Jarret A Proctor,Jason K Smith,Nathan S Long et al.
Jarret A Proctor et al.
Dietary net energy for maintenance (NEm) and gain (NEg) can be estimated using calculations based on live performance or adjusted-final body weight, which is calculated based on carcass characteristics. These values are commonly referred to...
