En esta revisión se hace una retrospectiva de las actividades de investigación realizadas en nutrición porcina por los investigadores del INIFAP en los 35 años de existencia del Instituto. El producto principal de esta actividad, ha sido el sentar las bases para una mejor alimentación del hato reproductor y del cerdo para abasto, enfocándola a resolver los problemas particulares de la porcicultura mexicana, con respecto al uso de las materias primas utilizadas en la alimentación del cerdo; así como la evaluación y mejora de la calidad de la canal, el enriquecimiento de la carne con metabolitos que incrementan su vida de anaquel y mejoran sus propiedades organolépticas. Asimismo, se hace una reflexión sobre los retos que enfrentará la nutrición porcina en el presente siglo, proponiendo las áreas que se tendrán que investigar para garantizar la sustentabilidad del sector, así como las acciones que los investigadores del programa y el INIFAP tendrán que realizar para responder adecuadamente a los desafíos a los que se enfrenta la porcicultura mexicana.
Objective: To compare serum levels of total cholesterol, triglycerides, low density lipoprotein cholesterol and high density lipoprotein cholesterol between broilers and laying hens. Materials and Methods: the present is a cross study, descriptive and analytic. Data was analyzed using simple ANOVA, the program Statgraphics Plus 5.1 was used. The study was performed at Universidad de Caldas in Manizales (Colombia). After fasting, blood from 30 broilers (Cobb 500 line) of 35-day-old and 40 laying hens (Hy-Line W-36 line) of 26-weeks-old. Serum levels of triglycerides, total cholesterol, low density lipoprotein cholesterol and high density lipoprotein cholesterol was measured by enzymatic colorimetric methods, direct method (detergent + N,Nbis (4-sulfobutyl)-m-toluidine) was used for the lipoprotein cholesterol. Results: Between broilers (Cobb 500 line) and (laying hens (Hy-line W-36 line) was significant difference in serum levels of triglycerides and in serum levels of high density lipoprotein cholesterol (P <0.05); serum levels of total cholesterol and serum levels of low density lipoprotein cholesterol, no differences were found (P> 0.05) Conclusions: Despite differences in gender, age, and production system among broilers Cobb 500 line and laying hens Hy-Line W-36, no differences were found between serum total cholesterol and low density lipoprotein cholesterol.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
