The objective of the paper was to evaluate hybrid pig meatiness by using carcass detailed dissection as well as instrumentally. The per cent of valuable lean cuts and/or lean meat content (LMC) made 50.35 and 54.38 %, respectively. The pigs under evaluation were divided into final hybrids SLOVHYB 1 and 2 on the basis of cross combination. The other cross combination has been bred for increased per cent of LMC in keeping with the prepared grading of slaughter hybrids pursuant to EU regulations. Differences in the observed indicators of the cross combinations concerned are statistically significant for all analyzed carcass parts. In the conditions of packing plants the group of 14,011 carcass hybrids showed the LMC at the value 46.51 while about 22 % of pigs were included in grades E and U. Increasing dead weight was accompanied by a decrease in the relative LMC in the specific weight categories.
