Variation of traits of fatteners under the impact of various factors.
2014
The aim of this study was to determine the effect of the sire breed, sire
within sire breed, genotype of fatteners, gender of fatteners, gender within
sire breed, season of birth of fatteners and mass of warm carcass side on the
following traits: back fat thickness - middle of the back (DSL), back fat
thickness - lower back (DSK), meat yield of carcass sides (JUSKG) and
percentage/share of meat in carcass sides (JUSPRO). The research was
conducted in the experimental slaughterhouse and laboratory of the Institute
for Animal Husbandry, Belgrade-Zemun, and included females and castrated male
animals. Sires of fatteners were pure breeds: Swedish Landrace (SL, n = 10),
Large White (LW, n = 3) and Pietrain (P, n = 3), while the offspring belonged
to the following genotypes: pure breed - Swedish Landrace (SL, n=252), and
crosses of Large White × Swedish Landrace (LW × SL) (n=170), Pietrain ×
Swedish Landrace (P × SL) (n=13), [Pietrain × (Large White × Swedish
Landrace)] P × (LW × SL) (n=35), [Swedish Landrace × (Large White × Swedish
Landrace)] SL × (LW × SL) (n=33) and [Large White × (Large White × Swedish
Landrace)] LW × (LW × SL) (n=33). The study included total 536 offspring of
which 276 are male castrated and 260 female animals. In the winter 24 piglets
were born, in the spring 95, in the summer 148 and autumn 269 piglets. It was
established that the sire within sire breed Pietrain (S:P) does not affect
the variation of the studied traits of fattening pigs (P>0.05); sire within
sire breed Swedish Landrace (S:SL) does not affect the varying of the trait
JUSPRO (P>0.05); season of birth within the Model 1 does not affect the
traits yield and share of meat (P>0.05); the offspring gender within genotype
(Gender : Genotype) does not affect the variation of fat thickness at the
centre of the back (P>0.05). All other factors (sire breed, sire within the
sire breed - Large White, gender and genotype of fattening pigs, gender
within sire breed, the mass of warm carcass side, and also birth season of
fattening pigs in the Model 2) included in the models showed statistically
significant impact on the variability of traits of fattening pigs (P<0.05;
P<0.01 and P<0.001). [Projekat Ministarstva nauke Republike Srbije, br. TR
