Selection for lean growth efficiency in Duroc pigs influences pork quality.

Journal of animal science - 1 Aug 2001

Abstract excerpt

A unique line of Duroc pigs was established by intensive selection for increased lean growth efficiency. The objective of this study was to determine the influence of this selection strategy on fresh pork quality traits. Two lines of Duroc pigs originating from the same foundation herd were evaluated. One line was selected for lean growth efficiency over five generations (Select line), and the other was a...
