The aim of this study was to determine the influence of MHS-genotype and feeding regime on the growth and development of muscle and fatty tissues in the whole body as well as in hams of hybrid pigs. The experiment was carried out on 72 barrows divided into 4 groups regarding the MHS-genotype (NN and Nn) and feeding regime (standard and intensive). Data necessary to determine the volume of examined tissues were obtained by means of magnetic resonance tomography. During the fattening period there were no statistically significant differences between the groups with respect to total lean meat content of the body, although the feeding regime effect in the finishing fattening phase was on the margin of statistical significance. The differences in the lean meat content of hams were not significant either. In conclusion, different feeding regimes and MHS genetic status of pigs have no significant influence on the growth of muscle and fatty tissues in hams.
