Creatine content in the muscle may delay postmortem lactate formation and postpone the pH decline, hence potentially improving the water-holding capacity (WHC) as shown in a previous study including purebred Duroc pigs, although the same study did not find any effect on meat from purebred Landrace pigs. In the present study Danish D(LY) crossbreeds were supplemented with 0 or 50 g creatine monohydrate (CMH)/d for five days prior to the slaughter. CMH supplementation had no effect on meat quality indicators (pH and temperature), meat quality attributes (WHC and colour) or eating quality (juiciness and tenderness) of meat from the D(LY) crossbred pigs. As a consequence the D(LY) crossbreed was classified as a non-responder to CMH supplementation.
