Growth, carcass and meat quality traits were measured in 2 different experimental herds on male and female pigs produced from matings between Pietrain boars and 12 genetic types of sows with graded proportions of Large White (LW) and Meishan (MS) genes. Growth records (from 30-100 kg liveweight) were obtained on ad libitum feeding on a total of 1 640 pigs, among which 1 200 were submitted to carcass evaluation and meat quality measurements. Genetic type mean performance essentially varied according to the relative proportions of MS and LW genes in the dam and could hence be characterized by a single parameter, difference in crossbreeding (formula, see attached document), which measures the difference between MS and LW breeds used a...
