Pork Checkoff Research

Research is at the heart of the National Pork Board’s mission and is funded by your Pork Checkoff dollars. Research is administered in all areas of pork production, processing, and human nutrition to develop a higher quality and more profitable product in the competitive meat protein market.

Human Nutrition
Effects of incorporating red meat into a Mediterranean-style dietary pattern on cardiometabolic and emotional well-being
The Mediterranean-style eating pattern (Med Pattern) is consistently associated with decreased chronic disease risk (1-3) with emerging evidence suggesting improved quality of life (4-6) and sleep...
Animal Science
Effects of dietary protein patterning on weight loss and resistance training-induced changes in body composition, skeletal muscle, and indices of metabolic syndrome
The purpose of this study was to assess whether redistributing equivalent total daily protein intakes from one high protein-containing meal into multiple moderately-high protein-containing meals...
Human Nutrition
Effects of Dietary Protein Patterning on Weight Loss and Resistance Training-Induced Changes in Body Composition, Skeletal Muscle, and Indices of Metabolic Syndrome

The primary aim of this study was to assess the effects of within-day dietary protein intake distribution on dietary energy-restriction and resistance training-induced changes in lean body mass and mid-thigh muscle area, and to assess the effects of within-day dietary protein intake distribution on dietary energy-restriction and resistance training-induced changes in appetite, glucose response, and MetS parameters.

Effects of betaine and heat stress on lactation and post-weaning reproductive performance on sows
  Heat stress has multiple negative impacts on animal metabolism and physiology and is thought to cost the swine industry more than $360 million per...
Swine Health - Foreign Animal Disease
Animal welfare implications resulting from movement restriction for foreign animal disease outbreak management in the pork industry
Trends in the U.S. swine industry show that over the years, there has been an increase in improved producer efficacy and the appearance of fewer but larger pig farms. These changes are reflected...
Human Nutrition
Effects of Dietary Protein Source and Quantity during Weight Loss on Appetite, Energy Expenditure, and Cardio-Metabolic Responses
Abstract Higher protein meals increase satiety and the thermic effect of feeding (TEF) in acute settings, but it is unclear whether these effects remain after a person becomes acclimated to energy...
Human Nutrition
Effects of pork vs. chicken/fish in a DASH diet on blood pressure regulation in older adults with hypertension
Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is the most commonly treated condition in primary care settings and is a major and modifiable risk factor of cardiovascular and kidney diseases [1]. The most...
Human Nutrition
Increased protein intakes from predominantly meat- versus soy protein/pulses-based foods: Effects on daily and postprandial appetite during energy restriction-induced weight loss
The objective of this study was to assess if the amount of protein an overweight or moderately obese adult consumes while reducing their...
Human Nutrition
The effects of protein quantity and source on postprandial satiety and plasma amino acid concentrations
The objective of this study was to assess if the amount of protein an overweight or moderately obese adult consumes while reducing their...
Animal Well-being
Understanding and reducing aggression using pre-exposure, when sows are mixed in a grouped gestation system
The largest single challenge of keeping sows in groups is that of inter-sow aggression. We know that sows will fight when mixed and when...
