Comprehensive Evaluation of Fattening and Meat Qualities of Young Pigs of the Universal Direction of Productivity and Some of Their Interbirels Features

Abstract

The results of studies of the fattening and meat qualities of young pigs of large white breed of foreign origin, some biochemical parameters of blood serum and the results of calculating their correlation relationships are presented, and the economic efficiency of the research results is calculated.
 It was found that the biochemical parameters of blood serum in animals of the experimental group correspond to the physiological norm of clinically healthy animals, and their coefficient of variation ranges from 7.71 to 33.67 %. According to the main indicators of fattening and meat qualities (the age of reaching live weight of 100 kg, days, the thickness of the fat at the level of 6– 7 thoracic vertebrae, mm, the length of the chilled carcass, cm) corresponds to the “elite” class, and an effective assessment method sows and boars-producers by genotype is the use of a comprehensive index of feeding and meat qualities (B. Tyler index). The maximum indicators “average daily gain in live weight for the period of control fattening, kg”, “the length of the chilled carcass, cm”, “the length of the bacon half of the chilled carcass, cm” and the minimum values “age to reach live weight of 100 kg, days” and “bacon thickness the level of 6–7 thoracic vertebrae, mm ”is characterized by animals in which the comprehensive index of feeding and meat qualities (B. Tyler index) ranges from 160.14 to 174.04 points. Reliable correlation was established between the following pairs of signs: fat thickness at the level of 6–7 thoracic vertebrae, mm × total protein content, g / l (r=+ 0.375, tr=2.14), length of chilled carcass, cm × concentration of total lipoproteins , mg% (r=–0.622, tr=4.20), length of chilled carcass, cm × urea content, mmol/l (r=–0.445, tr=4.20), length of bacon half of chilled carcass, cm × content total protein, g / l (r=–0.533, tr=3.33), fat thickness at the level of 6–7 thoracic vertebrae, mm × concentration of total lipoproteins, mg% (r=–0.652, tr=4.55) the average daily gain in live weight for the period of control feeding, kg × concentration of total lipoproteins, mg% (r=+0.492, tr=2.99).
 The above indicates the prospect of using some biochemical indicators of blood serum for early prediction of fattening and meat qualities. It was established that the maximum increase in production in terms of "average daily gain in live weight during the period of control fattening, g" (4.87 %) was obtained from animals in which the B. Tyler index ranged from 160.14 to 174.04 points.

“…Вступ. Аналіз результатів досліджень вітчизняних та зарубіжних вчених свідчать, що важливими показниками, поряд з відтворювальними якостями свиноматок та кнурів-плідників є відгодівельні і м'ясні якості їх потомства, а також фізико-хімічні властивості м'язової тканини [1][2][3][4][5][6][7]. Проте, зазначені групи ознак у тварин вітчизняних порід є не консолідованими і не забезпечують високий рівень рентабельності галузі в цілому.…”
