Quality of pig carcass and meat of different genotypes
Objective of this paper was to present results of investigation of different genotypes on quality of pig carcass and meat. Dissection of four main carcass parts was performed (n=67) in order to present share of tissue in main carcass parts. The quality of pig carcasses was investigated on three genotypes: Swedish Landrace (SL/SL) and two hybrid combinations with Durroc and Pietrain (VJ/LW x SL/SL) x D and (VJ/LW x SL/SL) x P. Meat yield of pig carcass sides was determined by partial dissection and for Swedish Landrace it was 51,30%, and for three breed combination with Durroc 56,04% and for three breed combination with pietrain 58,55%. It was established that genotype of pigs in fattening influenced the quality of meat, since the three breed combination with Pietrain (genotype C) had the lowest share of free fat, the poorest colour and the lowest WBA, and hihger share of ashes compared to results obtained for other genotypes (1,22; 0,27; 46,50 and 1,17).
