Share, distribution and quality of meat in carcasses of pigs of different genotype

This research included 210 pigs of five different genotypes: A = (Swedish Landrace x Large White) x German Landrace; B = Line 1; C = Hypor hybrid; D = Swedish Landrace and E = Large White) fattened under the same production conditions. Linear measurements did not show marked differences between genotypes of pigs, with the exception of females of genotype “B” where the largest MLD area (42.16 cm2) was found and statistically significant difference (P<0.05) was established only regarding the genotype. Mean values of meat quality indicators were within boundaries established for “normal” meat, and statistically significant difference (P<0.05) was found only in w.h.c. between the genotypes. Differences in shares of individual carcass parts between the genotypes were statistically very significant (P<0.01), except in the ham (P<0.05), while no significant differences were found regarding the sex (P>0.05). In the meat percentage in carcass and in individual parts (except in the neck and shoulder) there were statistically very significant differences (P<0.01) between genotypes and sex. The highest average meat shares (except in shoulder) was found in both sexes of genotype “B” followed by genotypes“C”, “D” and “E”, while genotype“A” showed the lowest results.
