The objective of this paper was to determine the fattening and slaughter values in three age groups of crossbred pigs fattened to similar body mass of 103 kg. The experiment was performed on 131 crossbred baconers of Polish landrace, Duroc, Hampshire and Pietrain breeds with the division into 3 age groups. The crossbreds of group III (fattening period lasted on average 199 days) exhibited the lowest fattening value, and those of group I (157 days of fattening) exhibited the highest fattening values - the animals recorded the highest increase of body mass and the lowest consumption of nutrients per (1) kg of body mass gain)
