  1. Whole Genome Analysis of Alentejano Pigs with Contrasting Meat Quality Phenotypes. The Alentejano is a Mediterranean pig breed, found in southern Portugal, reared under extensive conditions and finished on grass and acorns during the fall and winter months. From these animals a variety of dry-cured meat products of great economic importance are generated. A total of 541 pigs were studied during the 2017 slaughter campaign. Phenotypic records for carcass and meat quality were col. 2023. Usié, A.; Magalhães, H.; Leão, C.; Gaspar, D.; Meireles, B.; Barbosa, P.; Cachucho, L.; et al. http://hdl.handle.net/10174/33344.
