Poldvere, A. (Estonian Agricultural Univ., Tartu (Estonia))
Meat traits and meat quality of 739 carcasses of young pigs, descended from 130 sires of Estonian Landrace breed, were complex evaluated in the Department of Pig Breeding in 1992-1994. Dependence upon sire, parent pair and sex, and fixed lean meat content using lean meat meter FOM and ZP method were established. On the basis of the data the meat quality traits were affected by sire and parent pair. According to the data of Estonian Landrace breed lean meat with low quality appeared 31.2 per cent and 8.5 per cent, respectively, in 1994. Increase in carcasses with defective lean meat was established. On the grounds of this data it is recommended to use the offspring of sires Mardel 991, Amor 3935 and Ula 959 due to their higher meat traits and quality. It is recommendable to use physical and chemical traits of lean meat in pig selection for improving pig meat quality
