The control of fat accumulation in farm animals is important from an economic point of view. Selection programs were implemented in various animal species to reduce body fat, either by decreasing the layer of subcutaneous fat, or by increasing dietary efficiency or muscle development. Spectacular results have been achieved in pigs over the past 50 years. Improved knowledge of dietary requirements and raw materials used in animal feedstuffs have also helped reduce further the fat mass. Although this reduction was beneficial for the carcass, it can sometimes affect the meat quality. The question of how far should we take this reduction of animal fat mass has yet to be answered.Le contrôle du dév...
