The total of 141 slaughter pigs of representative genotypes were selected also with regard to representativity in weight, sex and backfat depth. The pigs in the sample were slaughtered and the basic characteristics were measured on the carcass. The carcasses were graded with the FOM device and then dissected. The sample was first divided in two groups depending on the weight of the carcass (60-90kg and 90-120kg), second divided into gilts and barrows. The groups were compared regarding to the carcass value, especially the lean meat content. There were no significant differences between the compared groups in any of the measured characteristics.
