Abstract

An experiment was carried out using 80 pigs of the 3/4 Duroc x 1/4 English Large Black Landrace line to study the influence of slaughter weight on the carcass quality and the feed efficiency. These pigs were randomly assigned to one of four lots, from each one of which pigs were slaughtered when they reached 125, 150, 175, and 200 pounds of live weight respectively. As slaughter weight increased the percentage of the four primal cuts on a chilled-carcass basis, the percentage of ham and picnic on a chilled-carcass basis, and the feed efficiency decreased significantly, while the amount of fat in carcasses increased significantly.
