THE STUDY OF QUALITY ON SWINE ACCORDING TO TERMINAL BOAR RACE
S. Secrieru
Abstract
A review of recent swine crossbreeding experiments is presented and integrated with earlier work. Variation among experiments in observed heterosis for specific crosses was large for production of carcasses. There were experienced five variants of hybridization schemes using the breeds: Yorkshire, Landrace, Hampshire and Pietrain. The received results certify the receiving of some higher productivity indices of growing intensity at the type of Pietrain. The best quality of carcasses was observed on hybrids obtained from using of meat breeds of boars like Pietrain and Pietrain X Landrace.
