Sentence examples for muscle depth from inspiring English sources

The genetic performance of six sires for a well defined muscling trait, longissimus lumborum muscle depth, was measured using extensive progeny testing and expressed as an Estimated Breeding Value by comparison with contemporary sires.

Live weight (+0.24±0.09 kg per year) and muscle depth (+0.05±0.02 mm per year) increased and fat depth (−0.03±0.02 mm per year) decreased under selection.

C gilts were heavier, and had greater back-fat and eye muscle depth at farrowing than R gilts, but had smaller litter sizes (P < 0.01).

Responses, adjusted for animal size were greatest in fat depth (−0.90±0.63% per year) and least in muscle depth (+0.18±0.06% per year) with live weight being intermediate (+0.45±0.12% per year).

The aims of this experiment were to estimate genetic and phenotypic parameters, and responses in vivo for selection index component traits, i.e. live weight, fat depth and muscle depth.

LE gilts had greater decreases in weight and back-fat and eye-muscle depth during lactation than HE gilts, but dietary lactation treatment had no effect on litter performance.

The choice-feeding regime which resulted in heavier gilts with greater back-fat and eye-muscle depth at farrowing did not produce any advantage in terms of partitioning of nutrients towards milk production, as indicated by litter performance, irrespective of gilt genotype.

Both played at gale force; so that the doubling-up on bass guitar gave the whole enterprise more muscle, drive, depth and propulsion than the Hawkwind of 1975.

(a) Homogeneous muscle versus depth.
