The data was collected in the EIP-Agri-Projekt "Präzisionstierzucht" Funding: This work was funded by the EU within the framework of the “European Innovation Partnership” (EIP Agri) and the “Landesprogramm Ländlicher Raum (LPLR) des Landes Schleswig-Holstein”. Published with the article: A. Olschewsky, A. Kleinlein, D. Hinrichs, S. Klingel, G. Thaller, A. Sünder, D. Mörlein Fatty acid composition and genome-wide association analysis for intramuscular fat and backfat of the Angler Saddleback pig When reusing, please cite the above article as it provides important background information on the dataset. File: FA_Angler_Saddleback.csv headers: ID (n = 58) [number of individuals] Trial (n = 2) [1 = first trial, 2 = second trial] Sex (n = 2) [1 = male, 2 = female] Breeder (n = 5) [numbers of the five different breeders located in Northern Germany, origin of the 58 pigs] Sample (n = 2) [1 = intramuscular fat in the loin, 2 = backfat] C6:0 - C22:6n3 (metric data) [unit = % of total fatty acids, respectively] SFA (metric data) [unit = %, sum of saturated fatty acids of one pig] MUFA (metric data) [unit = %, sum of monounsaturated fatty acids of one pig] PUFA (metric data) [unit = %, sum of polyunsaturated fatty acids of one pig] n3 (metric data) [unit = %, sum of omega 3 fatty acids of one pig] n6 (metric data) [unit = %, sum of omega 6 fatty acids of one pig] n6:n3 (metric data) [unit = %, sum of n6:n3 Ration of one pig] IMF (metric data) [unit = %; intramuscular fat amount] BF (metric data) [unit = mm; back fat thickness] LMP (metric data) [unit = %; Lean meat percentage (58,10 - 0,56 x backfat measurement + 0,13 x meat measurement)] All post mortem measurements were conducted in the slaughterhouse under controlled cooling conditions (3 °C) and by trained persons following the German “Richtlinie für die Stationsprüfung auf Mastleistung, Schlachtkörperwert und Fleischbeschaffenheit beim Schwein” [Guideline for station testing for fattening performance, carcass value and meat quality in pigs].
