“…Our research verified that aspartic acid, glutamic acid, leucine and lysine were the predominant AAs in each group, among which glutamic acid content was the Evaluation of Muscle Chemical Composition, Amino Acids Profile and Antioxidative Capacity of the Shaziling Pig and its Crossbreeds highest. This finding was in accordance with former investigations obtained in several Chinese indigenous pig breeds, foreign pig breeds and their hybrid pigs and the typical hybrid pig breed Duroc × (Landrace × Large White) (Lu et al, 2008;Zhou et al, 2016;Chen et al, 2020;Chen et al, 2021), demonstrating that there is a certain rule in AAs profile in longissimus dorsi muscle of pigs. Apart from histidine, there were no significant differences in AAs among groups, including total essential amino acids (EAAs) content, total flavor amino acids (FAAs) content and total AAs content.…”

“…Water is a major component of meat, accounting for approximately 75% of the meat weight (Aboagye et al, 2020), the result of this study is in line with this rule, with water content of 72.38%-73.50%. Our study discovered that the content of mineral elements was plentiful and similar to the levels presented by earlier researches (Marchello et al, 1985;Lombardi-Boccia et al, 2005;Jukna et al, 2013;Chen et al, 2020), including Large White, Berkshire, Shaziling pigs and their crossbreeds.…”

“…W ith the development of society and the promotion of people's life quality, the focal point of meat consumption demand has gradually altered from 'quantity' to 'quality' (Ilavarasan and Abraham 2018). The Shaziling pig, an indigenous Chinese breed mainly reared in Hunan province, is representative of good meat quality and strong adaptability (Yang et al, 2016;Chen et al, 2020). However, the Shaziling pig has been scarcely utilized on commercial farms because of the unpleasant traits of growth rate and lean percentage.…”

Background: Meat quality in pigs is an extremely important economic trait. The Shaziling pig is representative of good meat quality but has been scarcely utilized because of the unpleasant growth rate and lean percentage. Methods: The differences of muscle chemical composition, amino acids profile and antioxidative capacity were evaluated among [(Berkshire × Shaziling) × (Berkshire × Shaziling) (BS × (B × S)], (Berkshire × Shaziling) × Shaziling [(B × S) × S], Shaziling × (Berkshire × Shaziling) [S × (B × S)] and Shaziling (S × S) pigs. Result: Four groups had plentiful contents of mineral elements (Ca, Zn, Na, K, Cu, Mg, Mn) and abundant amino acids content and no obvious differences in diameters of myofibers and adipocytes were found among four groups. In addition, (B × S) × S pigs had the highest crude protein content, possessed comprehensive nutrient in amino acids and showed preferable antioxidative capacity, suggesting that the meat of (B × S) × S pigs has optimal shelf life.

“…The well-known effect of increased performance of crossbreds compared to purebreds has long been used systematically in livestock species such as pig and poultry (Therkildsen et al 2021;Chen et al 2021;Han et al 2020). In dairy cattle, farmers have started to use crossbreeding to utilize the increased performance of crossbreds due to heterosis (Clasen et al 2017).…”

ADAM software is a stochastic simulation tool intended to model a variety of selective breeding schemes for animals and plants. ADAM can be used to generate genetic data to test statistical tools and the implemented algorithms can evaluate breeding schemes by tracing genetic change under different selective breeding scenarios. In practice, crossbreeding has been used extensively in beef cattle, pig, and poultry production systems, and the use of crossbreeding is increasing in dairy cattle breeding system due to changes in the dairy market. The aim of this paper was to present a new crossbreeding feature of the ADAM software. The software was updated to include multiple purebred populations and crossbred populations in animals with different genetic backgrounds considering both additive and dominance effects. Our simulated results showed that, by using the new features in ADAM, breeding organizations can optimize their design of crossbreeding schemes and, thereby, optimize profitability.

“…The Shaziling pig, an indigenous Chinese breed mainly reared in Hunan province, is representative of slow growth rate, poor feed conversion and low lean percentage, in spite of the properties of good meat quality and strong adaptability (Chen et al, 2021;Yang et al, 2016). Given the outstanding characteristics of western and indigenous pig breeds, there is a rising trend to improve the efficiency of commercial pig production with the advantages of both type breeds by crossbreeding systems (Guo et al, 2017;Jiang et al, 2011).…”

Background: The Chinese Shaziling pig is representative of good meat quality but has been scarcely utilized on commercial farms because of the unpleasing growth and carcass traits. Methods: The growth performance, carcass characteristics, meat quality and fatty acids profile were analyzed among (Berkshire × Shaziling) × (Berkshire × Shaziling) (BS × BS), BS × S, Shaziling (S × S) and S × BS pigs. Result: BS × BS pigs exhibited higher growth rate and superior carcass performance. Each breed possessed desirable meat quality, as evidenced by moderate pH, color score, IMF content and shear force value, among which the performance of S × BS pigs was prominent. Take account of the contents of SFAs, MUFAs, PUFAs and PUFAs/SFAs value, the eating quality of S × BS pigs was favorable and the meat of BS × BS pigs, by contrast, was helpful for human health with advanced nutritional value. In summary, BS × BS pigs is more effective for commercial development of Shaziling pigs and providing healthy pork products.
