animal age,   etc   ; branched chain fatty acids; odors; sheep; sheep meat;     Show all 5 Subjects
Abstract:
... Branched chain fatty acids (BCFAs) are associated with ‘mutton flavour’ found in cooked sheep meat aroma. Three BCFAs, 4-methyloctanoic (MOA), 4-ethyloctanoic (EOA) and 4-methylnonanoic (MNA) acids, have been implicated as the main compounds responsible for ‘mutton flavour’. Animal age can also contribute to increasing BCFA concentration. Heptadecanoic acid (C17:0 FA) also increases with animal ag ...

Abstract:
... Automation of the measurement of the physiological and behavioural parameters of livestock has become an important goal for both scientists and farmers. Accurate data and knowledge about farmed animals, especially in cattle breeding, are needed. Proper early diagnosis of a cow's health status in real time allows for preventing the development of infection, oestrus detection and leads to reduced en ...

The current study aimed to use quantitative sensory testing (QST) to measure (CS) in normal dogs and dogs with painful degenerative joint disease (DJD). It was hypothesized that QST would differ between these two groups of animals. Mechanical and thermal sensory ...

This quality can be determined by the frequency and temporal structure of the calling song, and both these characteristics are known to change as males grow old. In addition, female choice is influenced by call amplitude, which is primarily a function of the distance between a singing mal ...
