Comparative estimation of fattening performance and carcass meat yield of crossbred bm x l pigs
Abstract
Landrace boars used on Byelorussian Meaty sows have a positive effect on productive performance of crossbred progeny. The effect of heterosis on average daily gain and on age at 100 kg of live weight was 3 and 5.6%, respectively; backfat thickness decreased by 0.8 mm and loin eye area increased by 1.5 cm2 when compared to purebred Byelorussian Meaty pigs.
