摘要:The research was conducted on 32 right carcasses of Black Slavonian pigs, 16 of which had a higher level of meatness (42.95 %), while 16 carcasses had a lower level of meatness (48.55 %) even though they were of similar weight (48.23 and 48.35 kg respectively). Analysed carcasses originated from castrated male pigs that were fattened under identical conditions and fed ad libitum, up to 120 kg of body weight. Carcasses were dissected according to the modified method introduced by Weniger et al. (1963). The quality of meat was determined on samples of long back muscle (M. longissimus dorsi). Pig carcasses of higher meatness levels demonstrated a significantly (p < 0.01) higher share of ham (27.63 % : 24.92 %) and neck (14.30 % : 7.94 %), as well as a significantly (p < 0.01) lower share of belly-rib part (19.98 % : 20.94 %), jowl (1.85 % : 3.48 %) and fat (2.68 % : 4.04 %). Pig meat of higher meatness levels demonstrated a significantly (p < 0.01) lower pH2 value (5.36 : 5.73) and lower water holding capacity (6.18 cm2 : 2.23 cm2) than pig meat of lower meatness levels.
