“…There is a growing demand from the population for sustainable methods of meat production. Conventional production is challenged by environmental and animal welfare issues and, therefore, outdoor swine farming becomes an alternative that aims at the welfare and sustainability of production (Therkildsen et al 2021). Song et al 2021 concluded in their research that meat from pigs raised outdoors had better nutritional quality, with higher mineral contents compared to meat from pigs raised in a conventional system.…”

The main objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of supplementation the diet of pigs with grape pomace preserved in silage form (GPS) and its interaction with indoor and outdoor production systems, with and without access to vegetation, on the attributes of meat quality produced. Analyzes of proximal composition, cholesterol content, fatty acid profile, shear force, texture profile and sensory analysis were performed. During cold storage, oxidative stability and objective color were analyzed.Statistical analysis was performed in a 3x2 factorial design (production systems (S) x GPS-feed (F)) and the interaction between them (S*F). The results showed that there was no interaction between the production system and GPS feeding for the attributes evaluated. The proximate composition and fatty acid profile of the muscle remained unchanged. Additionally, it provides higher subjective and objective tenderness, higher red color intensity, and reduces lipid oxidation under refrigeration. The supplementation of pig feed with GPS improve the quality of the meat and constitute a sustainable alternative for the winemaking residue.

“…The well-known effect of increased performance of crossbreds compared to purebreds has long been used systematically in livestock species such as pig and poultry (Therkildsen et al 2021;Chen et al 2021;Han et al 2020). In dairy cattle, farmers have started to use crossbreeding to utilize the increased performance of crossbreds due to heterosis (Clasen et al 2017).…”

ADAM software is a stochastic simulation tool intended to model a variety of selective breeding schemes for animals and plants. ADAM can be used to generate genetic data to test statistical tools and the implemented algorithms can evaluate breeding schemes by tracing genetic change under different selective breeding scenarios. In practice, crossbreeding has been used extensively in beef cattle, pig, and poultry production systems, and the use of crossbreeding is increasing in dairy cattle breeding system due to changes in the dairy market. The aim of this paper was to present a new crossbreeding feature of the ADAM software. The software was updated to include multiple purebred populations and crossbred populations in animals with different genetic backgrounds considering both additive and dominance effects. Our simulated results showed that, by using the new features in ADAM, breeding organizations can optimize their design of crossbreeding schemes and, thereby, optimize profitability.
