Two combinations of hybrid pigs, (CLW x CL) x CLW - sire line and (CLW x CL) x (D x H), were used in order to evaluate the influence of these combinations and sex on the growth ability of fattened pigs. Significantly better growth ability was achieved when using D x H boars (580 g) than when using CLW - sire line boars (561 g). Hogs and gilts reached similar daily gains in the periods from birth to weaning and pre-fattening. But in the fattening period, the average daily gain was higher in hogs than in gilts by 40 g.
