In order to investigate the effect of age of fatteners at slaughtering on quality of carcass sides, investigation in 115 fatteners of Swedish Landrace breed were carried out. Highly significant (**P is less than 0.01) effect of age of fatteners at slaughtering on quality of carcass sides was established. Considering the negative sign with the coefficient b, we can conclude that the negative regression of age on quality of carcass sides was obserbed. The oldest fatteners (greater than 260 days) had the highest carcass sides (65.218 kg) which has no economical justification. Therefore, justification for prolonged fattening of pigs of investigated genotype needs to be reconsidered considering different quality of carcass sides of certain age groups.
