Abstract:Six groups of healthy 25 kg pigs, 12 pigs (6♂6♀) for each group, including 3 purebred groups Duroc(D), Landrace(L) , Large White(Y) and 3 crossbred groups L×Y, Y×L,D×LY were selected and raised under the same conditions. After the average body weight reached 100 kg, 4 pigs(2♂2♀)of each group were slaughtered to investigate the growth trait, slaughter performance and meat quality of the pigs. The results showed that ADG (average daily gain) and FCR (feed conversion ratio) of all the pigs were above 830 g and under 2.53 respectively, and the meat quality was good with lean meat percentage ranging from 67.61% to 71.79%. Among the six groups, pigs from D×LY showed the highest ADG (977 g ) and the lowest FCR (2.34) was detected in pigs from L×Y. Correlation analysis of growth, slaughter and meat traits showed that strong positive correlation existed between FCR and skin thickness, FCR and pH value(b), back fat and fat percentage and between skin thickness and pH value(b), with correlation coefficient of 0.949 3, 0.960 4, 0.927 3 and 0.983 6, respectively, while strong negative correlation were observed between back leg proportion and storage loss, the correlation coefficient was -0.951 8. Further Amino acid tests on D×LY group showed that content of FAA (flavour amino acid) and EAA (essential amino acids ) was 77.94 mg/g and 44.13 mg/g respectively, which indicated good meat quality could be achieved from the crossbreed pig. All the results provided by this work can serve as proof for selection of new pig combinations.
