Extract

There is increasing concern within all sectors of the UK pig industry with meat quality and particularly the eating quality of pork. Against this background, a collaborative study involving 6 organisations was carried out to investigate the relative influences of a number of production factors on the eating quality of fresh pigmeat. The results relating to two of these factors, namely feeding regime and sex of pig, are reported here.
